Client-Side Integration

For the iFields client-side 3DS 2.0 integration, refer to iFields

Configuration Properties

The javascript object exposes the following properties:

Property	Description	Allowed Values/Comments
configuration.enableConsoleLogging	Can be set by the user to turn console logging on for debugging purposes or off to remove extra console writes. Defaults to true.	true/false
configuration.onVerifyComplete	Should be set by the user - this is a function handler that will be called when a challenge (step-up) is completed (see below for sample function)	name of your javascript function that will handle the transaction completion
referenceId	Set by the internal code, this property will contain the 3DS reference id for the current transaction	Passed to gateway as part of transaction
initializeStatus	Set by the internal code, this property will contain the status of initialization	Passed to gateway as part of transaction
error	Set by the internal code, this will contain any error information relevant to the 3DS process	Passed to gateway as part of transaction

Methods

Method name	Description	Parameters
initialize3DS	To be called on the page load, to set up the environment for processing a 3DS authentication transaction	threeDSEnvironment - string - set to either “prod” or “staging”
profileBin	To be called before submitting the initial transaction	bin - 9 digit card bin
verifyTrans	To be called if the initial transaction response status is “V”, indicating that a challenge/step-up is required for authentication	A javascript object with the following values from the Cardknox gateway response: {xRefNum, xVerifyURL, xVerifyPayload, xInternalID }

Implementation Steps

Import the Library

Add two JS file references to your web page in your page header:

// JS file reference #1:
// ----- Staging:
<script src="https://songbirdstag.cardinalcommerce.com/cardinalcruise/v1/songbird.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
// ----- Production:
<script src="https://songbird.cardinalcommerce.com/cardinalcruise/v1/songbird.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

// JS file reference #2:
<script src="https://cdn.cardknox.com/sdk-3ds/1.0.2110.1401-beta/cardknox-3ds.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

Create JavaScript handler for verification

When a 3DS 2.0 step-up authentication flow occurs, you must handle this by sending the verification results to the payment gateway. Create a JavaScript function on your page to do this. The ck3DS object will call this function automatically when a step-up verification completes. The function will receive the verification results as input parameters.

The order of parameters is as shown in the following code sample:

function handle3DSResults(actionCode, xCavv, xEciFlag, 
        xRefNum, xAuthenticateStatus, xSignatureVerification) 
{
    alert('submitting verify form with verification results');
    
    var url = "_some_url_of_your_server_to_handle_the_response_and_post_to_gateway";
    var postData = {
        xRefNum: xRefNum,
        xCavv: xCavv,
        xEci: xEciFlag,
        xAuthenticateStatus: xAuthenticateStatus,
        xSignatureVerification: xSignatureVerification,
        x3dsActionCode: actionCode,
        x3dsError: ck3DS.error
    };
    
    $.ajax({
        method: "POST",
        url: url,
        data: postData
    }).done(function (jsonResp) {
        log(jsonResp);
        if (jsonResp.Status == 'S') {
            // handle success, eg. show receipt
        }
        else {
            // handle error
        }
    })
    .fail(function (xhr, status, err) {
        var errorMessage = xhr.status + ': ' + xhr.statusText;
        // handle failure
    });
}

Configure the 3DS object

In your page load, add the initialization code:

$( document ).ready(function() {
  // set up configuration
  ck3DS.configuration.enableConsoleLogging = true;
  
  // Below can be used to conditionally turn off 3DS handling 
  // ck3DS.configuration.process3DS = true; 
  
  // name of function that was set up in step #2
  ck3DS.configuration.onVerifyComplete = handle3DSResults; 
  
  var environment = "staging"; // supported values: staging, production
  ck3DS.initialize3DS(environment);
});

Add 3DS profiling and submit results with the initial payment request

In the form submit handler, before submitting the payment, add the 3DS values to the data to be sent on to the gateway, using whatever submit mechanism is being used on your page. For example, the code below sets the hidden fields on the page to the corresponding values and then submits the form:

ck3DS.profileBin(_9_DIGIT_CARD_BIN_HERE_)
  .then((binProfilingResult) =>
  {      
      // Set the 3DS response fields 
      $("#x3dsReferenceId").val(ck3DS.referenceId);
      $("#x3dsInitializeStatus").val(ck3DS.initializeStatus);
      $("#x3dsError").val(ck3DS.error);
      var form_data = $("#payment_form").serialize();
      
      $.ajax({
        method: "POST",
        url: url,
        data: form_data
      }).done(function (jsonResp) {          
          // handle response
      })
      .fail(function (xhr, status, err) {
          var errorMessage = xhr.status + ': ' + xhr.statusText;
          // handle failure
      });
  });    

Handle 3DS Challenge

Modify the above code (line 15 in the sample snippet above) to correctly handle the server response. If the response from Cardknox had a status of V / Verify, call the verifyTrans function. The parameters this function needs are returned as part of the gateway response object and should just be passed along:

if (jsonResp.xResult === 'A') {
    // handle approval, eg. show receipt
}
else if (jsonResp.xResult === 'V'){
  ck3DS.verifyTrans(jsonResp);
}
else {
    // handle other responses....
}

When 3DS verification is complete, the onVerifyComplete handler (created in step 2 and "hooked up" in step 3) will be called with the response fields that should be passed to your server.
