Embedded Fields

Overview

Embed payment fields in your web-based application or mobile application. Collect and process payment information on Qualpay servers. Your customer will remain on your website or in your application, so all of your branding and style will be maintained. Since your server is not processing customer payment data, your PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Standard Data Security Standard) compliance scope is greatly reduced while taking advantage of Qualpay's PCI DSS Level 1 certified platform.

With Embedded Fields, you can include payment fields hosted by Qualpay directly in your payment form. Your customer can enter their credit card number or ACH account and routing number, expiration date, and Card Verification Value (CVV) into the Embedded Fields. You will implement the 'Pay' button on your site, then Embedded Fields will submit the form when the 'Pay' button is clicked. When the form is submitted, Qualpay will generate a single-use or permanent card_id depending on your configuration parameters. Using the success handler callback routine, you can use the card_id to invoke any transaction type you wish using our Payment Gateway API. If you're not ready to charge your customer, you can use the returned card_id to create a record in the Customer Vault with our Customer Vault API so that you can charge your customer at a later date.

Features

Transaction Types

Both one-time and permanent tokens (card_id) can be used for any request that the Qualpay Payment Gateway API supports.

Card Types

A card_id can be created for Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express, International Diners and JCB cards. You may use both Google Pay and Qualpay's Embedded Fields in your checkout page. Either use Embedded Fields to collect payment information from your customer or integrate with Google Pay to request the payload from Google Server.

Customization

Maintain branding and complete control over the placement of Embedded Fields.

Security

Sensitive cardholder data will travel from your customer's device directly to Qualpay, never touching your servers. PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Standard) compliance scope is greatly reduced. Qualpay is a PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) certified Level 1 compliant Service Provider.

Integrate

Sign up for an account to access the Qualpay Sandbox environment and retrieve your sandbox test keys in the Administration section. Be sure to enable access for Embedded Fields by setting the slider for Embedded Fields API to 'yes'. Integrate directly with our API or take advantage of one of our SDKs.

Error handler callback function to process errors from the embedded fields. The function takes a JSON object that contains information about the error. Refer to Error Handling section for more information.
preSubmit
Javascript function, optional
A callback javascript function that will be invoked before Qualpay submits your form. If the function returns false, the form submission will be cancelled. The function can be used to disable elements in your form to prevent multiple submissions or can be used to run javascript validations before the form is submitted.

Using a Captcha with Embedded Fields

To prevent your site from being used to test cards we strongly suggest that you use a Captcha. If you prefer to have Qualpay manage your reCaptcha inside the Embedded Fields frame you can edit settings by logging into Quapay Manager, then clicking on "Administration" then "Settings" and toggling Google V3 Recaptcha to "Off" or "On".

Success Handling

A success handler function is required to load the Qualpay Embedded fields. The success handler is called after the card is successfully tokenized and a card_id is generated. The card information is passed as a parameter to the callback function as a JSON object. You can include the logic here to make payment from your servers using the card_id. The structure of the JSON object is as follows:

Field
Format
Description
card_id
Fixed length, 32 AN
A single use card_id that can be utilized in a Qualpay payment gateway request to make a payment, authorization, verification or tokenization. This id will be valid for 10 minutes after creation. The card_id will not be valid once it is used in a gateway request. If the tokenize flag is set to true in request, the card_id will be stored in vault.
card_number
