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 - Configure the integration method".


This feature is subject to further approval from our risk team, so please contact us at [email protected] for further details to enable this feature for you.

In case your products/services are physical and you wish to hide those details, do check out "3.1 Cordova SDK | Manage Shipping and Billing details" solution article to know how to perform this.


Note that the digital product mode is not universally compatible with all processors. Therefore, it is advisable to seek guidance from your Relationship Manager (RM) to determine if it is suitable for your specific processor.


After making sure of configuring this SDK as you wish, you will need to make sure you import/add the SDK package in your package.json file, as shown below: 


"cordova": {
    "plugins": {
      "com.paytabs.cordova.plugin": {}
    }
  }
Generic


Implementing this option will enable you to initiate payments targeted to be paid using the supported types of credit cards such as Visa, MasterCard, Amex, etc. using only the customer name and email in case your products/services are not physical and don't need to be shipped to the customers. To be able to do this, please follow the below instructions:


  1. 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= "Fisrt Last",
               email= "[email protected]"
              )
    Generic



  2. Then create an object from PaymentSDKConfiguration and fill it out with your credentials and payment details. Don't forget to set the Digital product to "true. To know more about what is the exact values that should be passed here, please check our 2.1 Cordova SDK | Configuration Options & ParametersCordova 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 = "SAR"
    configuration.cartDescription = "Flowers"
    configuration.merchantCountryCode = "SA" //Country alpha-2
    configuration.merchantName = "Flowers Store"
    configuration.amount = 20
    configuration.screenTitle = "Pay with Card"
    configuration.billingDetails = billingDetails

    configuration.isDigitalProduct = true
    Generic


    Setting the isDigitalProduct to ture can affect the behavior of the payment based on the following:

    - Along with showBilling to false and passing  the full billing details object the transactions will be authorized.

    - With the showBilling to false and passing only the billing name and email the transactions will be authorized

    - Setting the showBilling to false and didn't passing the billing details object the transactions will occur a validation error.

    - Or setting the showBilling to true and passing the billing object without filling in the details the transactions will occur a validation error.

    - Finally, by setting the showBilling to true and passing the billing object with only the name and email the transactions will be authorized.



  3. 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)
    });
    Generic
