Connect-E - Standard

This section describes how to add Connect-E to your site with custom styling.

Process Flow

  1. Access token is requested from the Connect-E REST API.
  2. User loads the page with the JavaScript package, and the access token is passed in.
  3. iFrame is initialised to collect payment details.
  4. Once the payment form is filled out and the user clicks submit. The execute function is called and a JavaScript promise is returned.
  5. If 3D secure is required, a modal is displayed for the user to enter their details.
  6. The promise resolves with the outcome of the transaction, including status code and auth code.
  7. Confirm the status of the transaction via the Connect-E REST API

Setup Connect-E Standard

Load

Connect-E can be loaded directly from our servers, this is the recommended way of loading our JavaScript to ensure the latest bug-fixes/patches. Any breaking changes will be released under a different url.
<script src="https://web.e.test.connect.paymentsense.cloud/assets/js/client.js"></script>

Initialise

To initialise an instance of connect-E Standard call Connect.ConnectE and pass in the configuration object with an optional reference to a callback to handle validation errors.
const connectE = new Connect.ConnectE(config, displayErrorsCallback, onSubmitTriggered, onBlur);
Parameter Description
config
required rootConfig
Config containing details of this payment and the styling of the payment form.
displayErrorsCallback
function
An optional callback to display text validation errors. The supplied function is called when there is a validation state change. This function is passed an array of validationError objects.
onSubmitTriggered
function
An optional callback that is called when the submit event on the payment form is fired. This allows the payment to be submitted or extra validation done when the user presses the enter key on the payment form.
onBlur
function(isValid: boolean)
An optional callback that is called when focus is lost from any field in the form. The parameter isValid will be true when all fields are completed and there are no validation errors.

Validation Error

Property Description
errorType
string
The type of validation error that has occured. This can be one of the following: cardNameRequired, cardNameInvalid, cardNumberRequired, cardNumberInvalid, expiryDateRequired, expiryDateInvalid, expiryDateMustBeInFuture, cv2Required, cv2Invalid
message
string
Message detailing the validation error for displaying to the user.

Execute Payment

To execute the payment call executePayment on the object returned from the call to initialise Connect-E. This will consume the access token even if the payment is declined, another access token will need to be generated from the REST API and Connect-E will need to be reinitialized if another payment is needed. The promise will be rejected if there is an error returned by the server or if the transaction is already processing. The promise will still be fulfilled if the payment is declined (just with non 0 status code).
connectE.executePayment(additionalInfo)
    .then(function(data){
        /*handle response here*/
    }).catch(function(data){
        /*handle failure here*/
    }

When the promise is fulfilled the following object will be passed.

Transaction Result

Property Description
statusCode
number
Indicated the status of the transaction. 0 for a successful transaction.
authCode
string
If the transaction was successful, then the auth code is passed out here.
message
string
This gives a more detailed description of the status of the transaction.

Status Code

Status Code Result Description
0 Successful The transaction was successful
3 Authorizing The card holder has not completed 3DS, this status will only be seen on the REST API.
4 Referred The card issuer has parked the transaction awaiting contact with the customer before proceeding to authorise or decline the transaction.
5 Declined The transaction was declined by the card issuer or acquiring bank.
20 Duplicate Transaction The transaction which was processed was a duplicate. Ensure each transaction has a unique OrderId.
30 Failed Error executing transaction.
40 Processing The transaction is currently being processed, please check status again. This status will only be seen from the REST API if called before the JavaScript promise resolves or the Webhook is called.
90 Revoked The access token was revoked while the cardholder was completing 3DS authentication. The transaction was stopped before being sent for processing.
99 Waiting Pre-execute The transaction has been paused pre-execution using the waitPreExecute flag; a call to resume the transaction is expected within 15 minutes.
400 Invalid Request The request has failed validation by our servers and the transaction has not been submitted to the gateway. Possible causes for this are invalid transaction type or other data in the request.
401 Issue with Access Token The access token being used is not valid, the transaction has not been submitted to the gateway. This can be caused if the access token has already been used or the 30 minute expiry time has elapsed.
404 No Access Token Supplied No access token has been supplied to Connect-E. Transaction has not been submitted to the gateway
500 Internal Server Error There's been an error submitting the transaction, please check the REST API for the status of the transaction.

Update Access Token

It may be useful to update the access token if the current access token has been consumed or expired. Updating the access token does not refresh the payment form so the user will not have to re-enter their card details. A new access token will need to be obtained from the REST API and passed as an object of payment details to the function.

connectE.updateAccessToken(paymentDetails);

Validation

Validation can be manually triggered by calling validate. This returns a promise, the promise is resolved if the validation passes and rejected if the validation fails. When the promise is rejected an array of validation errors are passed to the function.

connectE.validate()
   .then(() => { 
        /* Handle validation success */
    })
   .catch(errs => { 
        /* Handle validation errors */ 
    });
