Use our Web SDK to secure your customers payment details by creating a `sessions` object and capture the CVC at the same time.

JavaScript
(function () {
  var form = document.getElementById("card-form");
  var clear = document.getElementById("clear");
  Worldpay.checkout.init(
    {
      id: "your-checkout-id",
      form: "#card-form",
      fields: {

        }
      },
      styles: {

        },
        "input.is-onfocus": {
          "color": "black"
        }
      },
      accessibility: {
        ariaLabel: {

          console.log('Form successfully cleared');
        });
      });
    }
  );
})();

## Creating your checkout form

You must use unique identifiers and field configuration when creating your form. You must then apply default heights to your fields.

Here is an example of how you would set unique identifiers for your field configuration:

### HTML

<section class="container">
    <section class="card">
        <form class="checkout" id="card-form">
            <div class="label">Card number <span class="type"></span></div>
            <section id="card-pan" class="field"></section>
            <section class="col-2">
                <section class="col">
                    <div class="label">Expiry date</div>
                    <section id="card-expiry" class="field"></section>
                </section>
                <section class="col">
                    <div class="label">CVV</div>
                    <section id="card-cvv" class="field"></section>
                </section>
            </section>
            <button class="submit" type="submit">Pay Now</button>
        </form>
        <button class="clear" id="clear">Clear</button>
    </section>
</section>

<script src="https://try.access.worldpay.com/access-checkout/v1/checkout.js"></script>

// For production change to "https://access.worldpay.com/access-checkout/v1/checkout.js"

And an example of how you could set the layout of your checkout page:

### CSS

body {
  font: 11px/22px sans-serif;
  text-transform: uppercase;
  background-color: #f7f7f7;
  color: black;
}

.container {
  height: 100vh;
  display: flex;
  justify-content: center;
  align-items: center;
}

.card {
  position: relative;
  background: white;
  padding: 40px 30px;
  top: -30px;
  width: 100%;
  max-width: 300px;
  border-radius: 12px;
  box-shadow: 3px 3px 60px 0px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1);
}
.card .checkout .col-2 {
  display: flex;
}
.card .checkout .col-2 .col:first-child {
  margin-right: 15px;
}
.card .checkout .col-2 .col:last-child {
  margin-left: 15px;
}
.card .checkout .label .type {
  color: green;
}
.card .checkout.visa .label .type:before {
  content: "(visa)";
}
.card .checkout.mastercard .label .type:before {
  content: "(master card)";
}
.card .checkout.amex .label .type:before {
  content: "(american express)";
}
.card .checkout .field {
  height: 40px;
  border-bottom: 1px solid lightgray;
}
.card .checkout .field#card-pan {
  margin-bottom: 30px;
}
.card .checkout .field.is-onfocus {
  border-color: black;
}
.card .checkout .field.is-empty {
  border-color: orange;
}
.card .checkout .field.is-invalid {
  border-color: red;
}
.card .checkout .field.is-valid {
  border-color: green;
}
.card .checkout .submit {
  background: red;
  position: absolute;
  cursor: pointer;
  left: 50%;
  bottom: -60px;
  width: 200px;
  margin-left: -100px;
  color: white;
  outline: 0;
  font-size: 14px;
  border: 0;
  border-radius: 30px;
  text-transform: uppercase;
  font-weight: bold;
  padding: 15px 0;
  transition: background 0.3s ease;
}
.card .checkout.is-valid .submit {
  background: green;
}

.clear {
  background: grey;
  position: absolute;
  cursor: pointer;
  left: 50%;
  bottom: -120px;
  width: 200px;
  margin-left: -100px;
  color: white;
  outline: 0;
  font-size: 14px;
  border: 0;
  border-radius: 30px;
  text-transform: uppercase;
  font-weight: bold;
  padding: 15px 0;
  transition: background 0.3s ease;
}

## Initializing the SDK

Once you've included the [script](/products/checkout/web#get-our-sdk) to get our SDK and set your form and fields configuration, you must initialize the SDK.

Use the `Worldpay.checkout.init` method to do this.

You must provide your `AccessCheckoutIdentity`, unique form identifier, and field configuration when initializing the SDK.

Optionally you can also provide your [styling configuration](/products/checkout/web/v1/styles).

Here is an example of how you would initialize the SDK and the parameters and configurations you must include:

(function () {
  var form = document.getElementById("card-form");
  var clear = document.getElementById("clear");
  Worldpay.checkout.init(
    {
      id: "your-checkout-id",
      form: "#card-form",
      fields: {
        pan: {
          selector: "#card-pan",
          placeholder: "4444 3333 2222 1111"
        },
        expiry: {
          selector: "#card-expiry",
          placeholder: "MM/YY"
        },
        cvv: {
          selector: "#card-cvv",
          placeholder: "123"
        }
      },
      styles: {
        "input": {
          "color": "black",
          "font-weight": "bold",
          "font-size": "20px",
          "letter-spacing": "3px"
        },
        "input#pan": {
          "font-size": "24px"
        },
        "input.is-valid": {
          "color": "green"
        },
        "input.is-invalid": {
          "color": "red"
        },
        "input.is-onfocus": {
          "color": "black"
        }
      },
      accessibility: {
        ariaLabel: {
          pan: "my custom aria label for pan input",
          expiry: "my custom aria label for expiry input",
          cvv: "my custom aria label for cvv input"
        },
        lang: {
          locale: "en-GB"
        },
        title: {
          enabled: true,
          pan: "my custom title for pan",
          expiry: "my custom title for expiry date",
          cvv: "my custom title for security code"
        }
      },
      enablePanFormatting: true
    },
    function(err, checkout) {
      if (err) {
        // handle init error
        return;
      }
      form.addEventListener("submit", function(event) {
        event.preventDefault();
        checkout.generateSessions(function(err, sessions) {
          if (err) {
            // handle session state generation error
            return;
          }

          // two sessions, one for card, one for cvc
          alert('Card session: ' + sessions.card + '\nCvc session : '+ sessions.cvv);
        });
      });

      clear.addEventListener("click", function(event) {
        event.preventDefault();
        checkout.clearForm(function() {
          // trigger desired behavior on cleared form
          console.log('Form successfully cleared');
        });
      });
    }
  );
})();

| Parameter | Required | Description |
|  --- | --- | --- |
| `id` | ✅ | Your AccessCheckoutIdentity. |
| `form` | ✅ | Your unique form #id selector. |
| `styles` | ❌ | Your **optional** styles object configuration. |
| `fields` | ✅ | The object that contains your field configurations. |
| `selector` | ✅ | The #id selector for a given field. |
| `placeholder` | ❌ | An **optional** text preview showing your customer the type of information they should enter in the field. |


In the JavaScript example above, `sessions` is returned as an object that contains an encrypted payload of your customers card details in `sessions.card`. It also has an encrypted payload of the CVV in `sessions.cvv`.

More Information
Click [here](/products/checkout/web/v1/create-sessions-web) for more information about the `sessions` object.

Use the `sessions.card` in your request to the [Verified Tokens API](/products/verified-tokens/v2/create-verified-token) to create a token.

Important
`session.card` has a lifespan of one minute. If you do not create a token within that time, you must create a new `session.card` value.

Use the `sessions.cvv` in the CVC parameter (`cvcHref`) in our card/checkout `paymentInstrument` to take a card on file payment.

Important
`session.cvv` has a lifespan of one minute. If you do not take a payment within that time, you must create a new CVC session value. You can do this with our [CVC only SDK](/products/checkout/web/v1/cvv-only).

This `paymentInstrument` can be used in any of our card on file resources ([payments:cardonFileAuthorize](/products/card-payments/v6/authorise-a-cardonfile-payment), [payments:migrateCardOnFileSale](/products/card-payments/v6/migrate-cardonfile-sale) and [payments:migrateCardOnFileAuthorize](/products/card-payments/v6/authorize-a-payment#-migratecardonfile-authorization)).
