PayTabs SDK makes the integration with the PayTabs payment gateway very easy by providing a ready-made payment screen that handles the card entry and, billing & shipping information and completes the missing details.


This article is dedicated to walking you through how to initiate the payment/request payload using the configuration options and parameters that have already been clarified in the previous step, "Step 2 - Cordova SDK | Configure the integration method".


You will need to identify an object from the PaymentSdkConfiguration class, which you will pass your credentials and payment details through, as shown below. To know more about what is the exact values that should be passed here, please check our 2.1 Cordova SDK | Configuration Options & Parameters solution article.


let configuration = new cordova.plugins.CordovaPaymentPlugin.PaymentSDKConfiguration();
    configuration.profileID = "*your profile id*"
    configuration.serverKey= "*server key*"
    configuration.clientKey = "*client key*"
    configuration.cartID = "545454"
    configuration.currency = "AED"
    configuration.cartDescription = "Flowers"
