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 perform tokenized/recurring transactions using this SDK. 


To enable tokenization (for recurring or any other services that depend on auto-detection from the customers instead of saving credit card details), please follow the below instructions:

  1. Request a token in creating any payment request by passing the "tokeniseType" along with the "tokenFormat" with the preferred type and format that suits your business needs within your PaymentSDKConfiguration, as shown below.  
        
    configuration.tokeniseType = cordova.plugins.CordovaPaymentPlugin.TokeniseType.userOptinoal
configuration.tokeniseFormat = cordova.plugins.CordovaPaymentPlugin.TokeniseFromat.hex32


    To know more about these parameters and what are the available values you can pass please check the "2.3 Cordova SDK | Enums" solution article.



  2. Configure the billing & shipping information for this payment, noting that the shipping information is optional. To know more about this, please check our 3.1 Cordova SDK | Manage Shipping and Billing details and 2.1 Cordova SDK | Configuration Options & Parameters solution articles. 
        

    let billingDetails = new cordova.plugins.CordovaPaymentPlugin.PaymentSDKBillingDetails(
               name= "John Smith",
               email= "[email protected]",
               phone= "9731111111",
               addressLine= "address line",
               city= "Dubai",
               state= "Dubai",
               countryCode= "ae", // ISO alpha 2
               zip= "1234")

let shippingDetails = new cordova.plugins.CordovaPaymentPlugin. PaymentSDKShippingDetails(
               name= "John Smith",
               email= "[email protected]",
               phone= "9731111111",
               addressLine= "address line",
               city= "Dubai",
               state= "Dubai",
               countryCode= "ae", // ISO alpha 2
               zip= "1234")
    Generic


     

  3. Then create an object from PaymentSDKConfiguration and fill it out with your credentials and payment details. To know more about what is the exact values that should be passed here, please check our 2.1 Cordova SDK | Configuration Options & Parameters and 2.2 Cordova SDK | The PaymentSdkConfiguration Object solution articles.     

    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"
    configuration.merchantCountryCode = "ae"
    configuration.merchantName = "Flowers Store"
    configuration.amount = 20
configuration.tokeniseType = cordova.plugins.CordovaPaymentPlugin.TokeniseType.userOptinoal
configuration.tokeniseFormat = cordova.plugins.CordovaPaymentPlugin.TokeniseFromat.hex32
    configuration.screenTitle = "Pay with Card"
    configuration.billingDetails = billingDetails
    configuration.forceShippingInfo = false
    configuration.tokeniseType = cordova.plugins.CordovaPaymentPlugin.TokeniseType.userOptinoal
    configuration.tokeniseFormat = cordova.plugins.CordovaPaymentPlugin.TokeniseFromat.hex32


  4. Only then you will be ready to start/initiate the payment by passing your PaymentSDKConfiguration object to the startCardPayment function in which the callback event will handle/alter the payment response. To know more about this please check our 2.2 Cordova SDK | The PaymentSdkConfiguration Object and Step 5 - Cordova SDK | Handle the payment response solution articles.     

    cordova.plugins.CordovaPaymentPlugin.startCardPayment(configuration, function (result) {
        if (result["status"] == "success") {
            // Handle transaction details here.
            var transactionDetails = result["data"];
            console.log("responseCode:" + transactionDetails.paymentResult.responseCode)
            console.log("transactionTime:" + transactionDetails.paymentResult.transactionTime)
            console.log("responseMessage:" + transactionDetails.paymentResult.responseMessage)
            console.log("transactionReference:" + transactionDetails.transactionReference)
            console.log("token:" + transactionDetails.token)
          } else if (result["status"] == "error") {
            // Handle error here the code and message.
          } else if (result["status"] == "event") {
            // Handle events here.
          }
    }, function (error) {
        console.log(error)
    });


  5. After this, you will receive the token along with the transaction reference (that generated this token) within the event callback in which you handled the payment response. You will need to save them for future usage.

  6. To perform any further recurring transaction according to your business needs by repeating steps 2 and 3 from this solution article, then directly start the tokenized card payment via the startTokenizedCardPayment function by passing the PaymentSDKConfiguration object along with the token and the transaction reference (saved from the previous step).

    cordova.plugins.CordovaPaymentPlugin.startTokenizedCardPayment(configuration,
"Token",
"TransactionReference",
 function (result) {
        if (result["status"] == "success") {
            // Handle transaction details here.
            var transactionDetails = result["data"];
            console.log("responseCode:" + transactionDetails.paymentResult.responseCode)
            console.log("transactionTime:" + transactionDetails.paymentResult.transactionTime)
            console.log("responseMessage:" + transactionDetails.paymentResult.responseMessage)
            console.log("transactionReference:" + transactionDetails.transactionReference)
            console.log("token:" + transactionDetails.token)
          } else if (result["status"] == "error") {
            // Handle error here the code and message.
          } else if (result["status"] == "event") {
            // Handle events here.
          }
    }, function (error) {
        console.log(error)
    });
