Card token
The integration of card payments is done via CardForm. In this integration mode, MercadoPago.js is responsible for the necessary flow to obtain the required information to create a payment. When initialized, a search is performed to collect the types of documents available for the country in question.
As the card data is entered, an automatic search takes place for the issuer information and available installments for that payment method. As a result, the implementation of the flow is transparent for those who perform the integration.
Check below the diagram that illustrates the card payment process using the CardForm.
To integrate card payments into Checkout API , follow the steps below.
Import MercadoPago.js
The first step in the card payment integration process is capturing card data. This capture is made by including the MercadoPago.js library in your project, followed by the payment form. Use the code below to import the library before adding the payment form.
<body>
<script src="https://sdk.mercadopago.com/js/v2"></script>
</body>
npm install @mercadopago/sdk-js
Configure credentials
Credentials are unique keys with which we identify an integration in your account. They are made to capture payments in virtual stores and other applications securely.
This is the first step of a complete code structure that must be followed for the correct integration of payment via card.
<script>
const mp = new MercadoPago("YOUR_PUBLIC_KEY");
</script>
import { loadMercadoPago } from "@mercadopago/sdk-js";
await loadMercadoPago();
const mp = new window.MercadoPago("YOUR_PUBLIC_KEY");
Add payment form
The capture of card data is done through the CardForm of the MercadoPago.js library. Our CardForm will connect to your HTML payment form, making it easy to obtain and validate all the data needed to process the payment.
To add the payment form, insert the HTML below directly into the project.
<style>
#form-checkout {
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
max-width: 600px;
}
.container {
height: 18px;
display: inline-block;
border: 1px solid rgb(118, 118, 118);
border-radius: 2px;
padding: 1px 2px;
}
</style>
<form id="form-checkout">
<div id="form-checkout__cardNumber" class="container"></div>
<div id="form-checkout__expirationDate" class="container"></div>
<div id="form-checkout__securityCode" class="container"></div>
<input type="text" id="form-checkout__cardholderName" />
<select id="form-checkout__issuer"></select>
<select id="form-checkout__installments"></select>
<select id="form-checkout__identificationType"></select>
<input type="text" id="form-checkout__identificationNumber" />
<input type="email" id="form-checkout__cardholderEmail" />
<button type="submit" id="form-checkout__submit">Pay</button>
<progress value="0" class="progress-bar">Loading...</progress>
</form>
Initialize payment form
After adding the payment form, you will need to initialize it. This step consists of relating the ID of each form field with the corresponding attributes. The library will be responsible for filling out, obtaining and validating all necessary data at the time of payment confirmation.
const cardForm = mp.cardForm({
amount: "100", // The value must be an integer.
iframe: true,
form: {
id: "form-checkout",
cardNumber: {
id: "form-checkout__cardNumber",
placeholder: "Card Number",
},
expirationDate: {
id: "form-checkout__expirationDate",
placeholder: "MM/YY",
},
securityCode: {
id: "form-checkout__securityCode",
placeholder: "Security Code",
},
cardholderName: {
id: "form-checkout__cardholderName",
placeholder: "Cardholder",
},
issuer: {
id: "form-checkout__issuer",
placeholder: "Issuing bank",
},
installments: {
id: "form-checkout__installments",
placeholder: "Installments",
},
identificationType: {
id: "form-checkout__identificationType",
placeholder: "Document type",
},
identificationNumber: {
id: "form-checkout__identificationNumber",
placeholder: "Document number",
},
cardholderEmail: {
id: "form-checkout__cardholderEmail",
placeholder: "Email",
},
},
callbacks: {
onFormMounted: error => {
if (error) return console.warn("Form Mounted handling error: ", error);
console.log("Form mounted");
},
onSubmit: event => {
event.preventDefault();
const {
paymentMethodId: payment_method_id,
issuerId: issuer_id,
cardholderEmail: email,
amount,
token,
installments,
identificationNumber,
identificationType,
} = cardForm.getCardFormData();
fetch("/process_payment", {
method: "POST",
headers: {
"Content-Type": "application/json",
},
body: JSON.stringify({
token,
issuer_id,
payment_method_id,
transaction_amount: Number(amount),
installments: Number(installments),
description: "Product Description",
payer: {
email,
identification: {
type: identificationType,
number: identificationNumber,
},
},
}),
});
},
onFetching: (resource) => {
console.log("Fetching resource: ", resource);
// Animate progress bar
const progressBar = document.querySelector(".progress-bar");
progressBar.removeAttribute("value");
return() => {
progressBar.setAttribute("value", "0");
};
}
},
});
Send payment
To continue the card payment integration process, it is necessary for the backend to receive the form information with the generated token and the complete data as indicated in the previous steps.
In the example from the previous section, we sent all the necessary data to create the payment to the process_payment
endpoint of the backend.
With all the information collected in the backend, send a POST with the necessary attributes, paying attention to the parameters token
, transaction_amount
, installments
, payment_method_id
and the payer.email
to the endpoint /v1/payments and execute the request or, if you prefer, send the information using our SDKs.
