Create 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

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

CSS

Initializing the SDK

Once you've included the script 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.

Optional configuration

Optionally you can also provide your:

Example - Initialize the SDK (mandatory parameters/ configuration)

Parameter
Required
Description

id

Y

Your Access Checkout ID. e.g. f7a25ad0-0224-46c2-9102-2229aaadbfec

form

Y

Your unique form #id selector.

styles

N

Your optional styles object configuration.

fields

Y

The object that contains your field configurations.

selector

Y

The #id selector for a given field.

placeholder

N

An optional text preview showing your customer the type of information they should enter in the field.

accessibility

N

Your optional accessibility object configuration.

cardBrands

N

Your optional array of the card brands that you wish to accept.

enablePanFormatting

N

An optional parameter that, if called, enables the PAN formatting behavior.

Generate sessions

You must invoke the checkout.generateSessions method to generate the sessions.

In the JavaScript example above, sessions is returned as an object that contains an encrypted payload of your customer's card details in sessions.card. It also has an encrypted payload of the CVC in sessions.cvv.

Use the sessions.card in your request to the Verified Tokens API to create a token.

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

You can use this paymentInstrument in our Card Payments API.

Clear Form

The SDK also exposes a clearForm method that allows the SDK to be reset. All fields and classes are set back to their original state, without reloading the SDK.

The clearForm method accepts a callback that is called when the entire form has successfully cleared.

Customer behavior would usually trigger this. For example:

  • Clicking a clear form button

  • Successful receipt of a session

This allows the customer to input multiple sets of card details without reloading the SDK.

Remove the SDK

You can remove the SDK from a page using the remove method. This method removes all the fields added to the page by the SDK.
