Manual payment handling
paymentHandling
"AUTO" | "MANUAL"

The paymentHandling option defines how the SDK should handle payment creation and resume.

The default is AUTO, set paymentHandling to MANUAL to turn off automatic payment handling. This disables the callbacks onBeforePayment and onCheckoutComplete.

Two callbacks must be implemented:

  • onTokenizeSuccess() to create payments with the paymentMethodToken.
  • onResumeSuccess() to resume payments with resumeToken.

See the Manual Payment Creation guide for examples.

ℹ️

The guide's examples are written for PrimerCheckout, but the same concepts apply to PrimerHeadlessCheckout.

Called to determine if the payment method tokenization should start.

Parameters
data
{ paymentMethodType: PaymentMethodType }

An object containing a paymentMethodType property, one of PaymentMethodType.

Implement this if you need to abort the payment method tokenization according to your own logic. You should return true to continue or false to abort.

Client session caching
clientSessionCachingEnabled
booleanDefault: false

Before enabling the flag to true it's recommended to reach out to Primer support for additional verification since there are edge cases where it's not advised.

Indicates whether client session caching is enabled.

When set to true, responses from the server will be cached on the client side, allowing for faster subsequent access to the same data within the cache duration. When set to false, every request to the server will be processed without utilizing any client-side cache, ensuring that the client always receives the most up-to-date data.
