<div id="apruveDiv"></div>
The apruve
Object
apruve
ObjectInitialization
The apruve
object is automatically instantiated on page load. There are some methods you must call to initialize it, as described below.
Methods
-apruve.setOrder
apruve.setOrder
The setOrder
method is used to initialize the Apruve checkout with information about your customer's order - if you have registered an APRUVE_ACCEPTED_EVENT
callback, you will be notified when the order message has been received by our system. Your checkout must call this method prior to APRUVE_LAUNCHED_EVENT
firing for the Apruve checkout to work correctly!
Parameters
Name | Description |
---|---|
orderObject | The order in JSON format. See the Orders API for specifics on fields and options. Read the Merchant Integration Tutorial for complete examples. |
secureHashStr | A SHA256 hash (digital signature) of the order that you create on your server with your API-Key. Apruve uses this to verify that your Payment Request data is intact and has not been manipulated by the shopper, which prevents fraud. How to create this hash is covered in the Merchant Integration Tutorial. |
Example:
order_json = { "amount_cents": 10000, "merchant_id":... }; // Note: this is an object, *not* a String!
secure_hash = "5c22feda3dcde817e9a1f53c88ad0f09d972641";
apruve.setOrder(order_json, secure_hash);
-apruve.setShopper
apruve.setShopper
The setShopper
method allows you to initialize the Apruve modal with the name and/or email address of the shopper. Use of this method isn't required, but it does simplify the Apruve checkout process for your shoppers.
Parameters
Name | Description |
---|---|
shopperEmail | The shopper's email address as collected by the merchant. This allows Apruve to provide a more customized experience for a merchant's shoppers. |
shopperName | The shopper's name as collected by the merchant. This allows Apruve to provide a more customized experience for a merchant's shoppers. |
Example:
apruve.setShopper('[email protected]', 'Sharon Shopper');
-apruve.registerApruveCallback
apruve.registerApruveCallback
The registerApruveCallback
method lets you provide callbacks for certain events during checkout.
Parameters
Name | Description |
---|---|
event | The event type for which you want to register a callback. See the Events table below for details. |
function | The callback function to register |
Events
Event Constant | Description |
---|---|
apruve.APRUVE_LAUNCHED_EVENT | The Apruve lightbox has been launched. |
apruve.APRUVE_COMPLETE_EVENT | The Apruve checkout process has been completed. The Apruve order ID is passed as an argument to the callback function. |
apruve.APRUVE_CLOSED_EVENT | The Apruve lightbox has been closed without completing the checkout. |
apruve.APRUVE_ACCEPTED_EVENT | Apruve has received the purchase order message. |
Example:
apruve.registerApruveCallback(apruve.APRUVE_COMPLETE_EVENT, function (orderId) {
// do something with the order ID
});
Troubleshooting
"This merchant is experiencing technical difficulties"
If you see this message during testing, it means that Apruve was unable to process the order using the information that was set on apruve.js.
To help manage this situation, apruve.js
will provide the errors in the apruve.errors
variable. You can use a browser debugger console such as Chrome.
"Validation failed for secure_hash"
Apruve uses the secure hash value you pass into apruve.setOrder
to ensure that the order data you set has not been altered by the shopper before transmission to Apruve during the payment process. If you receive this error, it means that the secure hash value was invalid.
Ensure the following are correct while creating your hash:
- The fields are in the correct order per the Merchant Integration Tutorial
- All the fields specified on the order have been included in the hash
- There is no variation in whitespace between the order and the string used to compute the hash.
