Payment Form

Use Solid Payment Form functionality to build custom payment forms on the web. Solid Payment Form is our foundational JavaScript library for building payment flows.

With Solid Payment Form, you can also tokenize sensitive information and handle 3-D Secure authentication. All sensitive information is handled by Solid Payment Form, so it features PCI-DSS compliance.

Setup Solid Payment Form

To start with the Solid Payment Form, you can use our official payment form SDK for different JS frameworks and libraries.  Frameworks usage:

These integrations automatically load solid-form.js and provide a convenient interface for working with the form. Also, you can use manual installation. To start with, you need to include the Solid Payment Form (Solid SDK) on your checkout page by adding the script tag at the end of the <body> tag of the page of your HTML file.

Please, do not import it and use the link from Solid CDN, the script could be modified. 

<script src="https://cdn.solidgate.com/js/solid-form.js"></script>

Check the console for a warning that Solid PaymentFormSdk is already connected. If this warning appears, solid-form.js has most likely been connected twice. Remove the unnecessary connection.

The next step is to create the container on your page where the payment form should be. Note that you could pick up your id for the container, as is shown below.

Please, do not set the height of the dimensions (height, width, max-width, max-height) and display (block, inline-block, etc.) any elements inside the container. It may lead to various bugs in form appearance.

The following example specifies a default id of the Solid SDK.

<div id="solid-payment-form-container"></div>

Сontainer ID Definition Sample

const data = {
  iframeParams: {
    containerId: 'id'
  }
}

Signature Generation

To initialize the Solid Payment Form you need to generate the Signature parameter on your backend. 

The signature allows to verify whether the request from the merchant is genuine on the payment gateway server. It's generated not from JSON, but from the paymentIntent encrypted String.

The process of generating the signature for the Solid Payment Form initialization is presented in the following article.

The properties for input fields on the payment form could be applied for 4 states: 

  • not-empty
  • error
  • valid
  • default - without specifying the state

In case the state is not specified, properties are applied for all states.  

The following pseudo-classes and pseudo-elements can also be styled using a nested object inside of a variant:

  • :hover
  • :focus
  • ::placeholder

The following CSS properties are supported:

Object PropertiesDescription
background-colorThe background-color CSS property sets the background color of an element.
paddingThe padding CSS shorthand property sets the padding area on all four sides of an element
displayThe display CSS property sets whether an element is treated as a block or inline element and the layout used for its children, such as flow layout, grid or flex.
font-sizeThe font-size CSS property sets the size of the font. Changing the font size also updates the sizes of the font size-relative <length> units, such as em, ex, and so forth.
font-weightThe font-weight CSS property sets the weight (or boldness) of the font. The weights available depend on the font-family that is currently set.
margin-bottomThe margin-bottom CSS property sets the margin area on the bottom of an element. A positive value places it farther from its neighbors, while a negative value places it closer.
colorThe color CSS property sets the foreground color value of an element's text and text decorations.
border-colorThe border-color shorthand CSS property sets the color of an element's border.

Solid Payment Form Initialization

After completing all the steps described above and modifying all required parameters, you need to add the variable on your page in order to initiate Solid SDK and render the payment form. 

This variable should contains the data from the Form Request Data Object. 

Variable Initialization Sample

const form = PaymentFormSdk.init(data);

Solid Payment Form Events

Using the Solid Payment Form, you could build your user actions tracking by the events that the Solid Payment Form returns.

You could communicate with the Solid Payment Form by listening to an event.

Solid SDK Event Listener Sample

const form = PaymentFormSdk.init(data)

form.on('event_name', (e) => {
  const body = e.data // The body of any available event as it described below.
  // The code will be executed when the event is received.
})

The structure and detailed description of each event is presented below.

Mounted event

The event indicates that Solid SDK displayed the Solid Payment Form, Google-Pay or an Apple-Pay Button inside the iFrame.

Mounted Event Sample

{
	type: 'mounted'
	entity: 'applebtn' | 'googlebtn' | 'form' // one of listed values
}

Submit event

The event indicates that the user submitted the payment. The event could be triggered for one of the variations: Solid Payment Form, Google-Pay or an Apple-Pay.

Submit Event Sample

form.on('submit', e => {
   const data = e.data // SubmitMessage
})

interface SuccessMessage {
   type: 'submit',
   entity: 'applebtn' | 'googlebtn' | 'form' // one of listed values
}

Success event

The event indicates that the payment was successfully processed. 

Success Event Sample

		subscription_id: string  // an optional subscription id field
		order_id: string  // an optional order id field
	}
}

Fail event

The event indicates that the payment had been declined. 

Fail Event Sample

  	type: 'button' | 'input' // one of the listed
  	name: 'submit' | 'googlePay' | 'applePay' | 'cardNumber' | 'cardCvv' | 'cardExpiry' | 'cardHolder' // It could be one of the listed; furthermore, Solid might extend the list.
   	interaction: 'click' | 'change' | 'focus' | 'blur // one of the lister'
	}
	cardForm: {
  	fields:  {
		cardNumber: {
			isValid: boolean
			isTouched: boolean
		}
		cardCvv: {
			isValid: boolean
			isTouched: boolean
		}

   }
}

Card event

The event indicates that the customer has entered a card number and informs about the card brand and BIN with the first 6 digits when the card number is validated.

This information can be used to block the user's ability to pay before submitting the order.

Card Event Sample

{
   type: 'card'
   card: {
      brand: ‘visa' | 'unknown’, bin: '111222’ // string with the card brand name and bin with the first 6 digits

Google Pay Button on Payment Form

To start processing Google Pay payments via Solid Payment Form, you must perform a few steps.

First of all, you need to verify your domain on the Google Site. Note that you must be logged in as a Google Developer to do this. If not, you will be redirected to Google Pay's support page.

Secondly, you must receive the Merchant ID parameter. This parameter ensures that customers can make payments on your site through Google Pay.

After completing these two steps on the Google side, you can proceed with the integration on the Solid Payment Form side.

To displaying Google Pay Button on the Solid Payment Form, you must add the following parameters to the paymentIntent object for the Solid Payment Form to display the Google-Pay Button.

ParameterTypeMandatoryDescriptionExample

Google Pay Button Customisation

In addition to displaying the button on the form, you can also control the button's position, colour, and size. Use the googlePayButtonParams object for changes as you would for all other customisation in a Solid Payment Form.

Button Position

To choose the position to place the Google-Pay button on your own, you need to create and specify the div. Then, pass the value of the created container to the containerId parameter in the googlePayButtonParams object.

If you haven't specified containerId, we display it by default - above all fields of the Solid Payment Form.

Please note that if you specify a not created container, we will not display the Google-Pay button. In this case, we will return the following error to the console.

Container with id =‘specified-container’ doesn’t exist

Button Styling

On the Solid Payment Form side, some options allow you to style the Google Pay button to fit your site's style as much as possible.

We allow changing two parameters of the button in the googlePayButtonParams object:

color with options:

  • default - may change the colour over time (day or night theme);
  • black - a black button suitable for use on a white or light background;
  • white - a white button suitable for use on colourful background.

type with options:

  • buy - 'Buy with Google Pay' button (default);
  • plain - Button without additional text.

By default, the Solid Payment Form displays the button with black color and plain type.

The properties are supported to customize Google Pay Button:

Apple Pay Button on Payment Form

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for enabling Apple Pay on the web with the Solid Payment Form. After completing the following steps, your payment form includes an Apple Pay button.

Solid Payment Form adheres to Apple's development requirements for Apple Pay on the Web. Solid users can accept Apple Pay on the web in Safari, starting with iOS 10 or macOS Sierra.

Displaying an Apple Pay button 

To start processing Apple Pay payments via Solid Payment Form, you must perform a few steps.

First of all, you need to host the domain-verification file at the following path for each domain you’re need to process Apple Pay Payments:

Domain-verification file location

HTTPS://[DOMAIN_NAME]/.well-known/apple-developer-merchantid-domain-association

After placing the domain-verification file on your site, you must verify the domain in HUB. Apple Pay Domain verification is available in the Developers section. Domain verification is available only for websites that Solidgate Team approved for processing payments. 

When the domain is verified, you are ready to display the Apple Pay Button on the Solid Payment Form. You must add the following parameter to the paymentIntent object to display the ApplePay Button.

ParameterTypeMandatoryDescriptionExample
apple_pay_merchant_domainstringYes, for displaying the ApplePay ButtonThe domain, where you placed the domain-verification file.solidgate.com

To indicate that the ApplePay button has been shown, subscribe to the mounted event. When the event is emitted for the applebtn entity, this means the ApplePay button is fully displayed.

Apple Pay Button Customisation

In addition to displaying the button on the form, you can also control the button's position, color, and type. Use the applePayButtonParams object for changes as you would for all other customisation in a Solid Payment Form.

Button Position

To choose the position to place the Apple Pay button on your own, you need to create and specify the div. Then, pass the value of the created container to the containerId parameter in the applePayButtonParams object.

If you haven't specified containerId, we display it by default - above all fields of the Solid Payment Form.

Please note that if you specify a not created container, we will not display the Apple Pay button. In this case, we will return the following error to the console.

Container with id =‘specified-container’ doesn’t exist

Button Styling

On the Solid Payment Form side, some options allow you to style the Apple Pay button to fit your site's style as much as possible.

We allow changing two parameters of the button in the applePayButtonParams object:

  • color with options:
    • black - use on white or light-color backgrounds that provide sufficient contrast. Don't use on black or dark backgrounds.
    • white-outline - use on white or light-color backgrounds that don't provide sufficient contrast. Don't place on dark or saturated backgrounds.
    • white - use on dark-color backgrounds that provide sufficient contrast.
  • type - Apple provides several types of buttons so that you can choose the button type that fits best with the terminology and flow of your purchase or payment experience. More information you could find in the Apple Pay Guidelines.

By default, the Solid Payment Form displays the button with white-outline color and plain type.

Button Hiding

You could always hide the button for the user by passing false to the enabled parameter. You don't need to specify true to display the button on the form - this is the default value. When you pass the false value, it means that the form with the passed parameters of containerId, color and type is collected but not displayed on the Solid Payment Form.

The properties are supported to customize Apple Pay Button:

ParameterTypeDescriptionExample
enabledbooleanThe parameter is responsible for displaying the Apple Pay Button on the Solid Payment Formfalse
containerIdstringThe id of container to place the Apple Pay Button test-apple-button-container-id
colorstringThe color of the Apple Pay Button on the Solid Payment Formwhite
typestringThe type of the Apple Pay Button on the Solid Payment Formplain

Apple Pay Button Styling Code Sample

applePayButtonParams: {
  enabled: false,
  containerId: 'apple-pay-button-container',
  color: 'white-outline',
  type: 'plain'
}

Customize the Apple Payment Sheet

Solid Payment Form gave you access to customize Merchant Name Label on the Apple Payment Sheet. To change the name you need to pass the apple_pay_merchant_name parameter in the paymentIntent object

Update Payment Intent

If you use several tariffs for payment, you do not need to call the payment form for each price. Instead, you can request the form once and change the amount, currency, product ID, or one of the other available parameters using the update method.

Execution of the update method is available after you have received the mounted event for the form entity.

To update the Solid Payment Form parameter, you need to generate the Signature parameter on your backend. The signature allows verifying whether the request from the merchant is valid on the payment gateway server. It's generated from the partialIntent encrypted String.

Please, note that we are not saving the data from the paymentIntent object if you use the update method. 

Partial Intent Parameters

ParameterTypeMandatoryDescriptionExample
amountintegerYes, for the non-subscription workflowOrder amount - integer without fractional component (i.e cents). For instance, 1020 means 10 USD and 20 cents1020
currencystringYes, for the non-subscription workflowCurrency amount. 3 letter currency code under ISO-4217. Indicate the parameter together with the product ID if you need to select a tariff for a specific currency.EUR
product_idstringYes, for the subscription workflowID of the predefined product.faf3b86a-1fe6-4ae5-84d4-ab0651d75db2

typestringNoParameter for transaction authorization through a payment formauth
transaction_sourcestringNoSource of transactions on the merchant site.Main menu
traffic_sourcestringNoSource of trafficInstagram

Please note!

If on the initial call of the Solid Payment Form you picked up the non-subscription flow, you can only specify the amount and currency using the refresh method.

After the signature creating, you need to execute the update method in the Solid SDK by passing two parameters: partialIntent and signature.

Update Method Parameters

ParameterTypeDescriptionExample
partialIntentstringThe encrypted aes-cbc-256 string of JSON request data with random IV (16bytes) and private key is first 32bytes of merchant private key.E5FKjxw5vRjjIZ....vmG2YFjg5xcvuedQ==
signaturestringSignature of request. It allows verifying whether the request from the merchant is genuine on the payment gateway server.MjNiYjVj…ZhYmMxMzNiZDY=

Update Method Execution Sample

form.update (
	{
	  partialIntent, signature
	}
);

If one of the parameters in the udateIntent request is invalid (f.e. the Order ID will not be unique), you will get a response with an error.

Update Response Sample

{
    "error": {
        "code": "2.01",
        "message": [
            "Invalid data"
        ]
    }
}

Submit Form without Pay Button

Solid leaves the option to display your payment button below the Solid Payment Form. Use this feature to collect additional data from the user on the payment page.

To hide a Solid Pay Button, you need to describe the display property using a formParams object.

Hiding Button Sample

formParams: {
    allowSubmit: false
}

To submit the Solid Payment Form without using a Solid Button, you need to call the form's submit method.

Submit Method Sample

document.getElementById('customSubmitButton').addEventListener('click', () => form.submit())

Additional Fields on Solid Payment Form

Additional Fields could be required to process the payment in some countries. The solid Payment Form will check the Card BIN and receive a solution to display Additional Fields according to information about the BIN country.  

Also, depending on the provider, the customer phone parameter is often used as a means of verifying the identity of the person making a payment, for example in India this is indian_customer_phone. This parameter typically requires the person to enter their registered mobile phone number, which is then used to authenticate the payment.

The list of additional fields and the countries for which they are displayed are presented below.

Additional fields classes will be formed as follows:

ZIP Code Field Class Sample

 class = "input_group zip_code additional_field"

You can customize all additional fields at once using the additional_field class. In this case, styles will be applied to all additional fields classes, described in the table above. 

CSS Sample of Custom Styles for Additional Fields at once

styles: {
    additional_field: {
      'input': {
        'color': 'red'
      }
    }
}

If you want to customize a definite field, you need to apply styles to the Additional Field Class name. 

CSS Sample of Custom Styles for Definite Additional Field

styles: {
    guatemala_cui: {
      'input': {
        'color': 'red'
      }
    }
}

Fields Label Customisation

You could customize all labels on the Solid Payment Form. To change the field label you need to pass the parameter fieldNameLabel with the new Label Name to formParams Objects.

The parameters for Card Data Fields are presented below.

Card Data Fields Parameters

cardExpiryDateLabel
cardCvvLabel
cardNumberLabel
cardHolderLabel

To get the value of fieldNameLabel for additional fields, you need to take the Field Class name on the table, remake it into camelcase and add a ‘label’ in the end. 

For example, bolivia_ci move to boliviaCiLabel and argentina_dni moves to argentinaDniLabel.

Label Customisation Sample

formParams: {
    cardExpiryDateLabel: 'Expiration Date', 
    boliviaCiLabel: 'CI'
}
