Server-Side Integration
Server Endpoint Creation
A server endpoint is needed in order to accept the Google Payload from Hosted Checkout.
Step 1: Create an endpoint and method for API Integration on your server side that takes the Google Payload and makes a call to Cardknox.

API Integration
Below are the steps to integrate Google Pay with the Cardknox API:
Once the consumer confirms the payment, Google Pay API generates a token in the form of a JSON string.
Integration Steps:
1.Encode that token with Base64 encoding.
2.Set xCardNum field to the encoded token above.
3.Set xDigitalWalletType to GooglePay.
4.Set the remaining required fields:
1.xAmount to transactionInfo.totalPrice - this is the consumer-approved amount from the Google Pay payment sheet.
2.xCommand - Set to one of the values that start with cc: like cc:sale, cc:auth, etc.
3.xBillFirstName
4.xBillLastName
5.xBillStreet if available
6.xBillCity if available
7.xBillState if available
8.xBillZip
For more details, please contact your Cardknox Representative.
Client-Side Integration
Adding Reference to iFields
Find the latest version of iFields here.
Step 1: Add the iFields .js file after the <head> tag on your payment page:
<script src=https://cdn.cardknox.com/ifields/**ifields-version-number**/ifields.min.js></script>
Adding iFrame and JavaScript Objects for Google Pay button
Step 1: Add the following iFrame JS snippet inside the <body> where the Google Pay button is desired.
Make sure you have an attribute data-ifields-id="igp" as part of <iframe> tag
Make sure you have an attribute data-ifields-oninit="gpRequest.initGP" as part of <iframe> tag where “gpRequest.initGP“ is a function name that initializes a Google Pay Object​
<iframe id="igp" class="gp hidden" 
data-ifields-id="igp" data-ifields-oninit="gpRequest.initGP" 
src=https://cdn.cardknox.com/ifields/**ifields-version-number**/igp.htm 
allowpaymentrequest sandbox="allow-popups allow-modals allow-scripts allow-same-origin
allow-forms allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox allow-top-navigation"> 
</iframe>
Step 2: Create JavaScript object that holds all of the properties/methods required to process Google Pay.
const gpRequest = {
merchantInfo: {
merchantName: "Example Merchant"
},                
buttonOptions: {                               
buttonSizeMode: GPButtonSizeMode.fill
},                
billingParams: {
//phoneNumberRequired: true,
emailRequired: true,
billingAddressRequired: true,                               
billingAddressFormat: GPBillingAddressFormat.full                                        
}
Full a full sample code, refer to the iFields document.​
Step 3: Implement desired callbacks.
For the list of available callbacks, please refer to Google Pay Object.
The two main functions below need to be implemented (the rest are optional):
onGetTransactionInfo: calculates the total amount based on the charge amount, fees, taxes, shipping costs, etc.
onProcessPayment - a callback that will be called after the consumer pays and Google returns a token with all other requested consumer information like billing address, shipping address, etc. This is where you need to make an ajax call to your server with the Google Payload. The sample for making an ajax call please see below.
​
Sample Code for making Ajax Call:
initGP: function authorizeGPay(googlePayload) {
    return new Promise(function (resolve, reject) {
        var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
        xhr.open("POST", https://yourserver.com/your-endpoint);
        xhr.onload = function () {
            if (this.status >= 200 && this.status < 300) {
                resolve(xhr.response);
            } else {
                reject({
                    status: this.status,
                    statusText: xhr.statusText
                });
            }
        };
        xhr.onerror = function () {
            reject({
                status: this.status,
                statusText: xhr.statusText
            });
        };
        xhr.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/json");
        xhr.send(JSON.stringify(googlePayload));
    });
}
For full sample code, please refer to Google Pay Sample Code.
Step 4: Create JavaScript function that will initialize iFields.
function initGP() {
​
    return {
        merchantInfo: gpRequest.merchantInfo,
        buttonOptions: gpRequest.buttonOptions,
        onGetTransactionInfo: "gpRequest.onGetTransactionInfo",
        environment: gpRequest.environment,
        billingParameters: gpRequest.billingParams,
        shippingParameters: {
            emailRequired: gpRequest.shippingParams.emailRequired,
            onGetShippingCosts: "gpRequest.shippingParams.onGetShippingCosts",
            onGetShippingOptions: "gpRequest.shippingParams.onGetShippingOptions"
        },
​
        onBeforeProcessPayment: "gpRequest.onBeforeProcessPayment",
        onProcessPayment: "gpRequest.onProcessPayment",
        onPaymentCanceled: "gpRequest.onPaymentCanceled",
        onGPButtonLoaded: "gpButtonLoaded"
    };
}
Make sure that the iFrame attributedata-ifields-oninit has the name of this function.
The initGP() function above returns Google Pay Object.​
