SecureFields JS is a hosted field (payment, PII) solution that helps developers provide additional security to a merchant’s website. They are plug-in fields in your platform's "end-user" interface that provide an easy way to securely implement data collection without needing to pass through your systems. SecureFields JS fields are customizable, secure, input elements. When a user enters secure data in these fields, the data is converted into a token/s. The token/s can be used to send the sensitive data to the specified destination.
If you are looking for specific commands or options, please see the reference to the developer API specs provided from within your partner portal
Instantly create customized forms that adhere to PCI and other PII requirements. Our servers intercept the sensitive data before it hits your servers and replaces it with aliased version, while securing the original data in our vault.
The following example shows a rendered payments form using the SecureFields JS to serve the card holder name, card number, expiration date and CVV fields.
Before you begin You will need your public and private keys from your partner console account.
There are two ways to load SecureFields JS
a. Option #1 - To add SecureFields JS to your checkout page, include our JavaScript library in your host page:
b. Option #2 - Alternatively, to load only the SecureField JS library without the web components, include the following JavaScript library in your host page:
Then copy the following checkout form into the checkout page:
This will create a very simple (and unstyled) payment form. However, the payment form will not yet contain the fields nor will it be functional. It must first be configured before it can successfully tokenize your payment methods.
Important: For credit card form, the field ids must match exactly the pre-defined field ids by our system in order for us to tokenize the appropriate data. card-name, card-number, card-expiry, card-cvc
For general PII data any IDs can be utilized.
Once the host form is on the page, the fields are initialized with the SecureFields JS module.
Place the below snippet in a new script tag on the bottom of your checkout page, swapping out the example environment key with your own:
Note: If the merchant enters the credit card information, set the parameter manuallyEntered to true. And on the other hand, if you enter the credit card information, set the parameter manuallyEntered to false
Following sections are only applicable if you're tokenizing card data for payments. For general PII information, please refer to Using tokens .
Depending on your account configuration, your tokenized card info can be made available as global or merchant specific.
Note from the example code above that SecureFields JS doesn’t automatically hook into any form events. Instead, you must explicitly tell it when you want to send the collected card data for tokenization.
As shown in the example above, the most straightforward approach is to create a form onSubmit handler or an element eventListener that serves as a trigger to delegate to SecureFields JS createCard() method. This method will in turn return the tokenized card object that you can safely store within your system.
When automatic Network Tokenization is activated on your account, any PAN data associated with it will automatically use a token provided by the card brand network.
After the SecureFields JS tokenizes your payment method, it is up to you to execute the actual transaction from your backend server environment. This is necessary because the browser is not a secure environment and should never contain your access secret (which is required to invoke the transactional portion of our API).
When the checkout form is submitted, extract the token parameter and use it to execute an auth and capture using the direct APIs:
The above call will authorize a payment method to be charged a specific amount and return an authorization id. No funds are taken with an auth – a follow-up capture transaction is required to actually move the funds.
To capture the amount, you must next call the capture API endpoint
the amount and currency_code are optional fields within the capture call if a partial capture is desired.
At this point, you should be able to see the posted transactions via the merchant's transactions page available via your partner portal.
To refund the amount, void or reverse the transaction you must make next call
