The Complete payment button

By default, the Complete payment submit button resides within the Drop-In iframe and includes internal logic to determine when the shopper can submit payment.

Host your own submit payment button

Suppose you prefer to host your own external (outside the Drop-In iframe) button for submitting the payment. In that case, you can hide the iframe's internal submit button by using the hideSubmitButton flag, then control the button's turned on/off using the onSubmitEnabledChange.

RCH_CC.rchInit will return an object that you can use to call the submitPayment method. When called, this method invokes the same action as clicking the submit button internal to the iframe, allowing the parent page to have control over submitting the payment.

ℹ️

NOTE

The submitPayment method will not perform additional checks to determine if payment can be sent; you should determine that before the request is sent.

External submit example

// reference button in dom
const btn = document.querySelector("#submit-btn");
btn.disabled = true;

// function will execute when the value changes. The value is the only parameter
const onSubmitEnabledChange = function (state) {
  btn.disabled = !state;
};

// initialize with the internal submit button hidden
const rchInstance = RCH_CC.rchInit({
  target,
  id,
  onSuccess,
  hideSubmitButton: true,
  onSubmitEnabledChange,
  locale: "en_US",
});

// assign click event listener
btn.addEventListener("click", () => {
  // call method on instance
  rchInstance.submitPayment();
});
