Setup Function

The setup function creates and initializes the Paysafe Checkout in an overlay. It has the following parameters:

  • The Base64-encoded version of the single-use token API key used to authenticate with the Customer Vault REST API. Note that this key can only be used to generate single-use tokens for use with the Card Payments and Direct Debit APIs, and has no other API access rights, such as those required for taking payments. Consequently, this key can be exposed publicly in the user's browser.
  • An options object containing the environment to use (Test or Live), the payment amount, currency, and several parameters to personalize the payment form and customize its appearance.
  • A resultCallback function you provide to receive the Paysafe checkout instance, handle successful tokenization (by sending the token to your merchant server), or respond to any errors caused by a failed tokenization.
  • An optional closeCallback function you provide to handle the customer closing the payment overlay.

The function signature is as follows:

paysafe.checkout.setup(apikey,options,resultsCallback,closeCallback);

Environment

The options object contains a string to select the environment to use for tokenization, either LIVE (the Paysafe Production environment) and TEST (the Paysafe Merchant Test or Sandbox environment).

Do not use real card numbers or other payment instrument details in the Merchant Test environment as it is not compliant with Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI-DSS), and does not protect cardholder/payee information. Any upload of real cardholder data is strictly prohibited, as described in the Terms of Use.

Test

paysafe.checkout.setup("my Merchant test Base 64 encoded single-use-token API key", {
    environment: "TEST"
  },
  function(instance, error, result) {...});

Live

paysafe.checkout.setup("my Production Base64 Encoded single-use-token API key", {
    environment: "LIVE"
  },
  function(instance, error, result) {...});

If you omit the environment object, by passing an empty or null value for this parameter, the Live environment will be used.
