Request to accept a payment on Clover Android devices

Use the PaymentRequestIntentBuilder class to build an Intent to start an Activity that will guide a user through the payment steps. Depending on the merchant configuration and Intent options set, a successful payment may be either a finalized payment or a tip-adjustable payment. The steps may include tip selection, signature collection, payment confirmation, and receipt selection. These options can be customized through the merchant settings or by using options that can be configured on the PaymentRequestIntentBuilder.

Build a simple payment request

You can build a payment request with a few lines of code.

val externalPaymentId = "<posPaymentId>" // should be unique for each request
val amount = 1000L
val context = this

val builder = PaymentRequestIntentBuilder(externalPaymentId, amount)
val intent = builder.build(context)

The Intent can then be used to start the activity to process the payment request.

There are several options that can be set on the builder to provide additional processing instructions:

• TipOptions & SignatureOptions - settings for tips (if tips are enabled for merchant) and settings for signature requirements
• CardOptions - settings for supported card entry methods and card confirmations
• ReceiptOptions - settings for receipt screen
• OfflineOptions - settings to control offline payment options
• TokenizeOptions - settings for pay+tokenize card for use in e-commerce services

TipOptions & SignatureOptions

TipOptions & SignatureOptions are independent options that can be excluded, however, they share the same “location” value (on screen/on paper).

TipOptions

The TipOptions class provides static helper methods to simplify the creation of TipOptions.

📘

NOTE

The merchant’s payment gateway settings must be configured for tippable payment for a tip-adjustable payment to be created. On some devices, tips are taken prior to the payment and can be supported without merchant payment gateway settings, as the payment will be finalized by the gateway.

SignatureOptions

The SignatureOptions class provides static helper methods to simplify the creation of SignatureOptions.

Simple example to disable tip and signature for a payment

val builder = PaymentRequestIntentBuilder("<posPaymentId>", 1500)
builder.tipAndSignatureOptions(
   PaymentRequestIntentBuilder.TipOptions.Disable(),
   PaymentRequestIntentBuilder.SignatureOptions.Disable(),
   null) // preferOnScreen

val intent = builder.build(context)

CardOptions

The CardOptions class provides a static method to optionally set the supported card entry methods, options to auto-accept duplicate payment challenges, and a cardNotPresent flag.

Example of setting the card entry method to Manual only and to auto-accept duplicate challenges

val builder = PaymentRequestIntentBuilder("<posPaymentId>", 1500)

builder.cardOptions(
   PaymentRequestIntentBuilder.CardOptions.Instance(
       CardEntryMethod.Manual(), // manual only
       null, // card not present
       true)) // auto-accept duplicates

val intent = builder.build(context)

ReceiptOptions

The ReceiptOptions class currently only provides one option, to skip the receipt selection screen.

OfflineOptions

The OfflineOptions class provides a static method to configure three flags for offline payments settings.

📘

NOTE

The merchant’s payment gateway must be configured for offline payments for these settings to be effective.

Example OfflineOptions

val builder = PaymentRequestIntentBuilder("<posPaymentId>", 1500)
builder.offlineOptions(
   PaymentRequestIntentBuilder.OfflineOptions.Instance(
       true, // allow offline
       true,  // approveOfflineWithoutPrompt
       null)) // forceOffline

val intent = builder.build(context)

Tokenize Options

The TokenizeOptions class contains a single property, suppressConfirmation. However, the presence of TokenizeOptions, regardless of the suppressConfirmation value, indicates that a token for the payment card used should be generated. The tokenize option is secondary to the payment, so, a failed tokenization could still result in a successful payment but a failed payment will not result in a successful tokenization.

Example of requesting a payment token with a payment

val builder = PaymentRequestIntentBuilder("<posPaymentId>", 1500)

builder.tokenizeOptions(PaymentRequestIntentBuilder.TokenizeOptions.Instance(
   false // suppressConfirmation
));

val intent = builder.build(context)

Examples

Custom tips

Example of creating custom tip options of $1.00, $2.00, and 20% and prefer onScreen tips.

val builder = PaymentRequestIntentBuilder("<posPaymentId>", 1500)

var tipSuggestions = listOf<TipSuggestion>(
   TipSuggestion.Amount("Thanks!", 100),
   TipSuggestion.Amount("Good Job!", 200),
   TipSuggestion.Percentage("Great!", 20)
)
var tipOptions = PaymentRequestIntentBuilder.TipOptions.PromptCustomer(null, tipSuggestions)

builder.tipAndSignatureOptions(
   tipOptions,
   null, // signature options
   true) // preferOnScreen

val intent = builder.build(context)

Custom card entry methods

Examples of setting the card entry methods to Manual and NFC only.

val builder = PaymentRequestIntentBuilder("<posPaymentId>", 1500)

var cardEntryMethods = setOf<CardEntryMethod>(
   CardEntryMethod.MANUAL, 
   CardEntryMethod.NFC)

var cardOptions = PaymentRequestIntentBuilder.CardOptions.Instance(
   cardEntryMethods,
   null, // card not present
   null) // auto accept duplicates

builder.cardOptions(cardOptions)


val intent = builder.build(context)

Minimal interaction

Example reducing the screens to only the payment screen. This example disables tips, signatures, and payment confirmations, and skips the receipt screen.

val builder = PaymentRequestIntentBuilder("<posPaymentId>", 1500)
builder.tipAndSignatureOptions(
   PaymentRequestIntentBuilder.TipOptions.Disable(),
   PaymentRequestIntentBuilder.SignatureOptions.Disable(),
   true)
builder.cardOptions(
   PaymentRequestIntentBuilder.CardOptions.Instance(
       null,
       null,
       true))
builder.receiptOptions(PaymentRequestIntentBuilder.ReceiptOptions.Disable())
