Custom UI SDK Integration for Ionic Cordova platform

To merchants who have built their app on an ionic platform, Paytm provides a plugin to conveniently integrate Custom UI SDK for both Android and iOS. On this page, you will see the steps required to integrate Custom UI SDK with an ionic plugin for your app. This plugin helps you to build a seamless and responsive checkout experience for your iOS or Android application.

Pre-requisites

Before you begin the integration, make sure you follow the steps below:

  1. Create an account on Paytm as a merchant. Click how to create an account.

    Note: Save the MID and merchant key generated in the above step.
  2. The additional details such as Client Id and Client Secret Key will be shared with you over an email after the approval.

  3. Go through the checksum logic to understand how to generate and validate the checksum.

  4. Get the staging android or iOS Paytm app for integration testing on the merchant staging environment. For login into the staging Paytm app, use mobile no. 7777777770 and OTP 888888.

Integration on Ionic Cordova for Custom UI SDK

  1. 1
    Add plugins to your ionic project
    • ionic cordova plugin add cordova-paytm-customuisdk
    • ionic cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-androidx
    • ionic cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-androidx-adapter

    Note: Ignore the warning message "Plugin doesn't support this project's cordova-android version. cordova-android: 9.0.0, failed version requirement: <9.0.0", if it comes on adding cordova-plugin-androidx plugin. 

  2. 2
    Add an ionic wrapper
    Note: We are working on ionic-native wrapper for custom ui sdk and you can use the below command to add that.
    npm install @ionic-native/custom-uisdk

    But for now, use the process below to add ionic wapper:

    Take checkout from the below git command out from your ionic project directory (branch customui-sdk)

    - git clone -b 'customui-sdk' https://github.com/paytm/ionic-native.git
    - cd ionic-native
    - npm i
    - npm run build
    

    Now go to your ionic project directory and run the below command:

    cp -r ../ionic-native/dist/@ionic-native/plugins/custom-uisdk ./node_modules/@ionic-native

    Note: Change the path of directories as per your project structure and while running any code for cordova plugin, you have to run above copy(cp) code again.

    After adding ionic wapper, add the CustomUISDK to app.module.ts providers as below:

    import { CustomUISDK } from "@ionic-native/custom-uisdk/ngx";
    @NgModule({
     declarations: [AppComponent],
     entryComponents: [],
     imports: [
       BrowserModule,
       IonicModule.forRoot(),
       AppRoutingModule,
       HttpClientModule,
     ],
     providers: [
       StatusBar,
       SplashScreen,
       CustomUISDK, //here
       { provide: RouteReuseStrategy, useClass: IonicRouteStrategy },
     ],
     bootstrap: [AppComponent],
    })
    export class AppModule {}
  1. 3
    Implement the following methods to extract Paytm user’s saved instruments.
    In case you want to show the Paytm user’s saved payment instruments including the wallet, implement the following methods:
  1. isPaytmAppInstalledThis method is used to check whether Paytm is installed or not.
isPaytmAppInstalled

Method Usage:

this.customUI.isPaytmAppInstalled()

Response: Boolean

Parameter Description
True If the Paytm app is installed and supports the feature to extract authcode
False If the Paytm app is not installed or does not support the feature to extract authcode
  1. fetchAuthCodeIf the Paytm app is installed on a user device, you call this method to fetch a temporary authcode from the user. User will be shown a consent checkbox dialog and will only return authcode when the user presses the ok button of dialog.
fetchAuthCode

Method Usage:

this.customUI.fetchAuthCode(this.clientId, this.mid)

Method Parameters:

Attribute Description Mandatory

clientId

String

Unique Id given by Paytm Yes

mid

String

Unique Identifier given by Paytm Yes

Response:

 {"response" : authCode}
Attribute Description

authCode

String

Alphanumeric authCode string e.g. ‘Apfdf-2234-nhdjshj-wers’, in case the auth code is fetched
  1. You need to call the OAuth token API using the authorization code received to receive the refresh token and SSO token associated with the Paytm user.

    Note: SSO token will be used to fetch saved instruments of Paytm user and refresh token will be used to get a new SSO token of Paytm user after its expiry.

  1. 4
    After the user adds a product in the cart and clicks to proceed for checkout, your app calls the backend server to get the order payout. Then, your backend server calls Initiate Transaction API from backend to generate the Transaction Token.

    Note: In case you wish to use the custom callback URL in Initiate Transaction API then please include the config setMerchantCallbackUrl during Initialization of SDK.

  2. 5
    Using the transaction token received above, your backend server calls the Fetch Payment Options API to receive different payment options including the user's saved instruments and other instruments like CC/DC, NB, UPI, EMI etc.

    Note: If you do not want to create an order first, the you may call the Fetch Payment Options API before Initiate Transaction. For more details please Get in touch with us.

  3. 6
    Call initPaytmSDK method
    You need to call the initPaytmSDK method before calling any transaction method in the SDK. After calling the transaction method, response will be in the “then” method in case of success and in “catch” method in case of error. Example for the wallet transaction is given below:
    import { CustomUISDK } from "@ionic-native/custom-uisdk/ngx";
    export class HomePage implements OnInit {
    initPaytmSdk() {
       this.customUI.initPaytmSDK(
         this.mid,
         this.orderId,
         this.txnToken,
         this.amount,
         false,
         null
       );
     } 
    goForWalletTransaction() {
        this.customUI.goForWalletTransaction(this.paymentFlow)
         .then((res) => {
           alert(JSON.stringify(res));
     })
         .catch((err) => {
           alert(JSON.stringify(err));
