Server-Side Set Up

This section contains the information you need to set up your server. Initializing Click to Pay Drop-In UI within your webpage begins with a server-to-server call to the sessions API. This step authenticates your merchant credentials, and establishes how the frontend components will function. The sessions API request contains parameters that define how the Click to Pay Drop-In UI performs.

The server-side component provides this information:

A transaction-specific public key that is used by the customer's browser to protect the transaction.

An authenticated context description package that manages the payment experience on the client side. It includes available payment options such as card networks, payment interface styling, and interaction methods.

The functions are compiled in a JSON Web Token (JWT) object referred to as the capture context
. For information JSON Web Tokens, see JSON Web Tokens.

Capture Context Using the Sessions API

The capture context request is a signed JSON Web Token (JWT) that includes all of the merchant-specific parameters. This request tells the frontend JavaScript library how to behave within your payment experience. The request provides authentication, one-time keys, the target origin to the Unified Checkout integration in addition to allowed card networks and payment types. The capture context request includes these elements:

allowedCardNetworks

allowedPaymentTypes

clientVersion

targetOrigin

Use the

targetOrigins

and the

allowedPaymentTypes

fields to define the target origin and the accepted digital payment methods in your capture context.

When you configure the merchant settings using the Merchant Experience section of the Smartpay Fuse Portal, your request to the

sessions

API must include these required fields. All other values are determined from the settings that are configured in the Smartpay Fuse Portal:

{
  "targetOrigins": ["https://merchant.com", "https://reseller.com:8443"],
  "locale": "en_US",
  "country": "US",
    "data": {
        "orderInformation": {
          "amountDetails": {
            "totalAmount": "21.00",
            "currency": "USD"
      }
    }
  }
}

When you use only the sessions API to generate the capture context, your request must include these required fields:

{
  "targetOrigins": [
    "https://yourCheckoutPage.com"
  ],
  "allowedCardNetworks": [
    "VISA",
    "MASTERCARD",
    "AMEX"
  ],
  "allowedPaymentTypes": [
    "CLICKTOPAY"
  ],
  "country": "US",
  "locale": "en_US",
  "captureMandate": {
    "billingType": "FULL",
    "requestEmail": true,
    "requestPhone": true,
    "requestShipping": true,
    "shipToCountries": [
      "US",
      "GB"
    ],
    "showAcceptedNetworkIcons": true
  },
  "data": {
    "orderInformation": {
      "amountDetails": {
        "totalAmount": "21.00",
        "currency": "USD"
      }
    }
  }
}
