Integrate Vaultera Switch SDK to any Web App using Vaultera switch-node Before following these steps, please configure your payment methods. Use this guide to integrate Vaultera Switch SDK to your app with any framework. If you are using React framework, please go through React Integration to use a dedicated wrapper.Documentation Index

1. Setup the Server
Follow the Server Setup section.2. Build Checkout Page on the Client
2.1 Define the Payment Form
This step is recommended for the Unified Checkout for an enhanced user experience. In case you are integrating Express Checkout (mentioned later below), this step is not required. Add one empty placeholder div to your checkout form for each Widget that you’ll mount. HyperLoader inserts an iframe into each div to securely collect the customer’s email address and payment information.2.2 Fetch the Payment and Create the Checkout
Immediately make a request to the endpoint on your server to create a new Payment as soon as your checkout page loads. TheclientSecret returned by your endpoint is used to complete the payment.
Important: Make sure to never share your API key with your client application as this could potentially compromise your payment flow.
Following this, create a unifiedCheckout and mount it to the placeholder div in your payment form. This embeds an iframe with a dynamic form that displays configured payment method types available from the Payment, allowing your customer to select a payment method. The form automatically collects the associated payment details for the selected payment method type.
In case you want the SDK to be loaded on a particular event (like button click), you can call the initialize function on that event.
2.3 Additional Callback Handling for Wallet Payment Process
This document outlines the details and functionality of optional callbacksonSDKHandleClick and completeDoThis that can be provided by merchants during the payment process. These callbacks allow merchants to hook into the payment flow at key stages and handle specific actions or events before continuing the normal flow.
onSDKHandleClick: This callback is triggered immediately after the user clicks any wallet button.
completeDoThis: This callback is triggered after the payment is completed, just before the SDK redirects to the walletReturnUrl provided. It allows the merchant to handle actions post-payment. If not provided, the SDK’s default flow will proceed.
Redirection Handling: The completeDoThis callback should handle redirection or any steps needed after payment, as the SDK no longer does this automatically. You must ensure to implement the necessary redirection logic.
Fallback: If no callbacks are provided by the merchant, the SDK will continue with its default behavior, including automatic redirection after payment completion.
Important: The task within onSDKHandleClick must be completed within 1 second. If an asynchronous callback is used, it must resolve within this time to avoid Apple Pay payment failures.
Example Usage
3. Complete Payment on the Client
3.1 Handle the Submit Event and Complete the Payment
Note: This step is not required for ExpressCheckout. Listen to the form’s submit event to know when to confirm the payment through the Switch API. CallconfirmPayment(), passing along the unifiedCheckout and a return_url to indicate where Switch should redirect the user after they complete the payment. Switch redirects the customer to an authentication page depending on the payment method. After the customer completes the authentication process, they’re redirected to the return_url.
3.2 Display a Payment Status Message
When Switch redirects the customer to thereturn_url, the payment_intent_client_secret query parameter is appended by HyperLoader. Use this to retrieve the Payment to determine what to show to your customer.
Congratulations!
Now that you have integrated the Vaultera Switch SDK on your app, you can customize the payment elements to blend with the rest of your app.

2. Create a Payment Intent
Make a request to the endpoint on your server to create a new Payment. TheclientSecret returned by your endpoint is used to initialize the payment session.
3. Initialize your Payment Session
Initialize a Payment Session by passing the clientSecret to theinitPaymentSession

Options (Required)
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
clientSecret (string) | Required. Required to use as the identifier of the payment. |
4. Craft a Customized Payments Experience
Using thepaymentSession object, the default customer payment method data can be fetched, using which you can craft your own payments experience. The paymentSession object also exposes a confirmWithCustomerDefaultPaymentMethod function, using which you can confirm and handle the payment session.

Options (Required)
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
confirmParams (object) | Parameters that will be passed on to the Switch API. |
redirect (string) | (web only) Can be either ‘always’ or ‘if_required’ By default, confirmWithCustomerDefaultPaymentMethod() will always redirect to your return_url after a successful confirmation. If you set redirect: “if_required”, then this method will only redirect if your user chooses a redirection-based payment method. |
