Saferpay Fields
The Saferpay Fields grant you the flexibility of your own HTML-form, whilst being 100% PCI SAQ-A compliant. They're an extension of the Transaction Interface and Secure Alias Store and are used together with either one, or both of these interfaces.
The main idea is, to split the classic card entry form into its components, namely the inputs for the PAN, CVC, Expiration and Holder Name. These fields will be hosted on Saferpay-side, making sure, that the data is captured by a fully PCI-certified system, while offering you a level of flexibility and the possibilities, similar to using your own form.
This chapter will cover the integration and preperations necessary, to work with the Saferpay Fields.
Supported Payment Methods
Visa/VPay
Mastercard
Maestro
American Express
Bancontact
Diners Club
JCB
Basic Flow
This is the basic Saferpay Fields flow.
The card holder navigates to the checkout
The shop frontend calls SaferpayFields.Init() (See Integration and Initialization > Hosted Fields Initialization) and the Saferpay Fields Javascript library initializes the iFrames.
Once initialized, the library will replace the placeholders with the correct iFrame inputs, which then are presented to the card holder.
The card holder enters his card details and clicks "Submit", on which the Webshop executes the SaferpayFields.submit() function.
The Saferpay Fields Javascript library then submits the iFrames, which sends the card details towards Saferpay.
Saferpay caches the card details for a maximum of 20 minutes and generates a token, which is then used to reference said means of payment.
The token is forwarded and the SaferpayFields.submit(); onSuccess callback is called, so the token may be captured and processed further.
The token then has to be forwarded to serverside. How you do that, is up to you. Methods like for example a redirect or AJAX are possible. Once on serverside, the token is then used to continue with the next step, either following the normal Transaction Interface flow, or a card registration. Please refer to that chapter on further information, about how to submit the token through the JSON-API and execute the transaction itself.
Preparation
Before you can start integrating the Saferpay Fields, you need to create an Access Token. To do so, you need to log into the Saferpay Backoffice. Navigate to Settings > Saferpay Fields Access Tokens and follow the instructions.
Once you move from the Test-Environment to the Live-Environment, you need to create a new Access Token on your live account!
Integration and Initialization
After you have created your API-Token, you can start integrating the Saferpay Fields into your site.
Include the Saferpay Fields JavaScript library into your site
<script src="https://test.saferpay.com/Fields/lib/1/saferpay-fields.js"></script> <!-- For Test-Environment-->
<!-- OR -->
<script src="https://www.saferpay.com/Fields/lib/1/saferpay-fields.js"></script> <!-- For Live-Environment-->Define, where Saferpay should insert the Hosted Fields

</div>The placeholder must be either <div>, <span>, or <input readonly>, see:
Input-Field

Card Holder Name

Expiration

The placeholder must have a height > 0, or the iframe will inherit this height!

},
onBlur: function (evt) {
//Callback on blur (Card Holder leaves field)
},
onValidated: function(evt) {
//Callback similar to on blur (Card Holder leaves field), but explicitly delivers validation data
},
onFocus: function (evt) {

Further steps
It is important to understand, that the Saferpay Fields are just a way to capture the card details. Now, you have to decide, what to do, with this information. You have two options now:
Execute a transaction. If you want to use the captured card data for a normal transaction, then you have to refer to the Transaction Interface Process. By simply submitting the Fields Token via this API-Method, you can generate an API Token -note the difference- to trigger an Authorization and a RedirectUrl, for performing other steps, like DCC, or 3D Secure.
Save the card. If you want to just save the card for now, you can do that via the Saferpay Secure Alias Store via standalone registration. This allows you to obtain a card alias, to perform other actions, like recurring payments, or just enable your customers to save new payment means inside their shop account, for further use. The choice is yours.
Once the onSuccess event is called, you need to forward the Saferpay Fields token to your server-backend, in order to initialize the next step (see above) and also gather the RedirectUrl, to perform things like 3D Secure and/or DCC. How you move the token to the backend is completely up to you. You can provide the onSuccess event with an AJAX-method, to execute the initialization in the background on a successful submit and forward the RedirectUrl to the fronend for a redirect this way, which you then can open in an iframe, Lightbox, or as a full redirect. However a redirect via GET, or POST, towards your initialize-script, is also an option. Refer to the above mentioned chapters, to learn, how to initialize a transaction, or just save a card, using a Saferpay Fields token.
This process has to be finished within 20 minutes, after the submission of the card details. Saferpay will discard the card details afterwards and the Saferpay Fields token becomes invalid!
Examples
Here you can see some examples of how the Saferpay Fields may be integrated. Feel free to use this code, if you have trouble integrating.
Fully working example. This example not only shows you the Saferpay Fields, but also how the API is supposed to work, as described in the previous chapter.
The design-Samples are hosted on JS-Fiddle, so you may edit them on-the-fly.
