This shows the steps requires to use the PointCheckout iOS SDK for accepting card payments via the PointCheckout payment gateway in your iOS mobile application.

SDK Flow

The PointCheckout iOS SDK requires three distinct steps for you to accept card payments:

1. Create a new Device Checkout
2. Initiate the SDK's PointCheckoutClient using the provided checkout key
3. Query the API for the payment status

This diagram shows the overall payment and data flow in order to accept payments using the PointCheckout mobile SDK

Installation

We support CocoaPods. To install the PointCheckout iOS SDK:

1. Add PointCheckoutSdk to your project by adding the following line to your Podfile

pod 'PointCheckoutSdk', :git => 'https://github.com/pointcheckout/ios-sdk.git', :tag=> v${version}

note

replace ${version} with the latest version of the SDK, you can check all available versions here. Example:
pod 'PointCheckoutSdk', :git => 'https://github.com/pointcheckout/ios-sdk.git', :tag=> 'v1.3'

2. Execute pod install inside the project directory.

3. Re-build the project.

Using the SDK

Device Checkout request

Send new checkout request to PointCheckout's API, check the documentation for more details.

SERVER API CALL

API calls made to the PointCheckout API endpoints should be made from your server. You should NEVER include your API keys in your mobile application. A mallicious user can gain access to your account if those keys are exposed.

Create a new PointCheckoutClient

Create an object of PointCheckoutClient:

var pcoClient = PointCheckoutClient();

Environment	Description
Enviornment.PRODUCTION	Use this for accepting customer payments
Enviornment.TEST	Use this during integration testing

tip

Keep a reference of the created client to reuse the same instance

Start the Payment Process

To commence the payment process, you must call the static pay method of the PointCheckoutClient. This method accepts 3 parameters:

• viewController is a UIViewController that is calling the pay function
• checkoutKey received in the Device Checkout Request
• delegate that will be called on payment update or cancellation

pcClient.pay(controller: viewController, checkoutKey: strCheckoutKey, delegate: callback)

Calling the pay function will open a modal where the user will be able to complete the payment in a secure manner.

Listen to Payment Events

The PointCheckoutPaymentDelegate has two callbacks:

1. onUpdate which is called the checkout status is updated (paid, cancelled, failed .etc). You MUST call PointCheckout API to fetch the new status of the checkout to verify that its been successfully paid.
2. onDismiss which is called if the user closes the modal by clicking on dismiss or close button.

import UIKitimport PointCheckoutSdk
class ViewController: UIViewController, PointCheckoutPaymentDelegate{    override func viewDidLoad() {        super.viewDidLoad()    }
    func onUpdate(){        print("UPDATE CALLBACK")    }
    func onDismiss(){        print("USER CLOSED THE MODAL")    }}

Retrieve Checkout Status

Retrieve checkout details from PointCheckout's API, check the documentation for more details.

SERVER API CALL

API calls made to the PointCheckout API endpoints should be made from your server. You should NEVER include your API keys in your mobile application. A mallicious user can gain access to your account if those keys are exposed.
