The Hosted Payment Session with JavaScript Model

It is important to ensure that sensitive payment fields are not submitted to your server. For example, if you are using a payment form, you can achieve this by omitting the 'name' attribute from the card number, card expiry, and CSC/CVV fields.

You cannot use the Hosted Payment Session with JavaScript model if the payer's browser does not support JavaScript.

If you have your own payment page then you can choose this option to have the Mastercard Payment Gateway manage the details of including the Visa Checkout SDK, launching the Visa Checkout lightbox, and updating the results into a payment session. This is the easiest option for existing Hosted Payment Session (with JavaScript) integrations.

The payment flow is as follows:

1. Display a payment page to the payer as required for the Hosted Payment Session with JavaScript integration. Your payment page should include a way to identify Visa Checkout as the checkout option selected by the payer.

   Below is some sample code that shows how to display Visa Checkout as an option on your payment page.

   <script id="hpfScript" src="https://evopaymentsmexico.gateway.mastercard.com/form/v3/hpf.js"></script>
   <!-- REPLACE THE action URL with the payment URL on your webserver -->
   <form name="myform" method="POST" action="https://my.company.com/pay">
   	<!-- Other fields can be added to enable you to collect additional data on the payment page -->
   	 Email: <input type="text" name="email">
   	<!-- The hidden values below can be set in the callback function as they are returned when creating the session -->
   	<input type="hidden" name="sessionId" id="sessionId">
   	<img alt="Visa Checkout" role="button" src="https://sandbox.www.v.me/wallet-services-web/xo/button.png" onclick="showVisaCheckoutLightbox()"/>
   </form>

2. When the payer selects Visa Checkout, the payment page launches the Visa Checkout lightbox with the required options. When the interaction with the lightbox is finished, hpf.js automatically uses the callId returned by the lightbox to retrieve the payment details from Visa Checkout. The result of the interaction is returned in the callback function — if the interaction was successful, the payment details are populated in the payment session.

   Below is some sample code that shows how to invoke the HostedForm.showVisaCheckout( ) method to launch the Visa Checkout lightbox with the required options and populate the interaction details from Visa Checkout into a payment session.

   
   <script>
     var options = {
   	acceptedCards: [
   		"MASTERCARD",
   		"AMEX",
   		"DISCOVER",
   		"VISA"
   	],
   	order: {
   		currency: "AUD",
   		amount: 10.50
   	},
   	merchant: {
   		logo: "https://test.te",
   		displayName:  "your merchant"
   	},
   	country: "AUS",
   	locale: "en_AU",
   	paymentConfirmation: "CONFIRM_AT_PROVIDER"
   	paymentConfirmationMessage: "Continue to the merchant to complete your purchase"
   };
    function showVisaCheckoutLightbox() {
   	if (typeof HostedForm === 'undefined') {
   		throw 'hpf.js is not loaded';
   	}HostedForm.setMerchant("MERCHANT_ID"); //Replace with your merchant id
     HostedForm.showVisaCheckout(options,
   	callback);
   }</script>

3. The JavaScript callback function handles the interaction response from Visa Checkout through an object describing the result of the HostedForm.showVisaCheckout( ) call. You must define this callback function in your payment page.

   If response.status="ok", your web page should pass the returned session identifier to your web server so that it can be used to invoke an operation referencing the session.

   Below is some sample code that shows how to define the callback function in the payment page, which is submitted to your web server.

   var callback = function(response) {
   	if (response.status === "ok") {
   		// call your server to do the payment with the response.session value  
         // this is where we populate the hidden values in the form
         var sessionIdElement = document.getElementById("sessionId");      
         sessionIdElement.value = response.session;
         document.myform.submit();
   	}else if (response.status === "request_timeout") {
   		// handle the timeout for example by giving the payer the possibility to retry
   	}else if (response.status === "invalid_session") {
   		// handle invalid session details for example by giving the payer the possibility to retry with different card details. If the new details are correct,
   		you can call the updateSession( ) method
   	}else if (response.status === "cancelled") {
   		// handler code for the case when the user closes the Visa Checkout lightbox without selecting a credit card
   	}else {
   		// add system error handling here. Typically this would mean the integration is not working properly because there is no response from the client library. 
        // this could result in displaying a page to the payer to try again later and call support
   	}
   };

Note that you can use the same callback function for both card and Visa Checkout payments.
4. You can now use the payment session identifier to perform any operation where a payment session can provide the payment details, for example, Authorize, Pay, Tokenize requests. Note that card details can be provided using multiple sources of card details.
It is recommended that you retrieve the session details using the Retrieve Session operation and check the session contents before you initiate a payment or storage operation.

If you update the session using HostedForm.updateSession( ) method, you can perform a Pay transaction with session using ONLY API v30. If you are integrated with API v29 or less, then you must upgrade your integration to v30.

The payment form can return various types of errors. See Error Handling.

Your payment page may contain merchant-defined fields to collect additional information, for example, discount coupon code, loyalty program identifier, shipping address, shipping method, etc. However, if you pass this information in the HostedForm.updateSession( ) method it will be ignored.

Yes, you can call HostedForm.createSession( ) method multiple times — a new session is created every time you call the HostedForm.createSession( ) method.
