This is the most flexible and customizable component Payabli offers to developers. To see a working example of this component, go to [CodePen](https://codepen.io/payablidocs/pen/JjwezWa). ![](/_fern-img/84bdbd1b189e9a1684b3739a4248398da93df33f55e6cb802739b69b46e3264e.webp)\ > **Tip** > > This component is supported in the Playground. Use the [Embedded Component Playground](https://playground.payabli.com) to edit and design embedded components in real time, and export the code to use in your own site or app. ## Usage > **Info** > > See [Library URLs](/developer-guides/embedded-components-overview#library-urls) for important information about embedded components library URLs. ### Step 1: Include the Payabli component Add the script to the `` element of your HTML. **`Sandbox`** ```html Sandbox ``` > **Note** > > You need to include `` in the `` element of your HTML to prevent problems with special characters such as 'á' or 'ñ'. ### Step 2: Define the component container Add the container to your HTML. This `
` tag is where the page renders the component. The ID is the identifier for `rootContainer` in your component configuration. **`Sandbox`** ```html Sandbox
``` ### Step 3: Configure the component Define the component configuration in a script block immediately after `component.js` and create an instance of the component. #### Expand for configuration example [See the Configuration section](/developer-guides/embedded-components-embeddedmethodui#configuration-reference) for a full configuration reference. **`Card`** ```html Card

When the form is valid, the action button is shown.

``` **`ACH`** ```html ACH

``` ### Step 4: Style the component Information about styling embedded components is available in [Embedded Components Overview](/developer-guides/embedded-components-overview#customize-component-styling). ### Step 5: Execute an action You can use the embedded component to execute a payment or to save the payment method. The action is triggered via the `payabliExec` function in the instanced className. This example calls a JS function named `executeAction` when the component is ready and the user clicks the button. Learn more about `payabliExec` in the [Embedded Components Overview](/developer-guides/embedded-components-overview#payablicomponent-classname). #### Expand for code example **`Calls payabliExec('method')`** ```html Calls payabliExec('method')

When the form is valid, the action button will be shown.

``` **`Calls payabliExec('pay')`** ```html Calls payabliExec('pay')

When the form is valid, the action button will be shown.

``` ### Step 6. Capture the action response After the action is triggered, you can capture the response using the callback provided in the property `functionCallBackSuccess`, in the configuration. You can verify if the action was successful or failed by checking the text or numeric response fields. The response is the same for ACH and cards. See [Handling responses and errors](/developer-guides/embedded-components-overview#handling-responses-and-errors) for more. **`Save payment method response`** ```json Save payment method response // Response is the same for ACH and card. response.responseText: "Success" response.responseData {"referenceId":"30e7658e-5c2c-4638-8308-b48edec0718b-1647","resultCode":1,"resultText":"Added","customerId":1647} ``` **`Payment success response`** ```json Payment success response // Response is the same for ACH and card. response.responseText: "Success" response.responseData: {"authCode":"123456","referenceId":"187-c5892026d9f345ffa63bf909d574fe92","resultCode":1,"resultText":"Approved","avsResponseText":"","cvvResponseText":"","customerId":1636} ``` **`Credit card payment decline response`** ```json Credit card payment decline response response.responseText: "Declined" response.responseData: {"authCode":null,"referenceId":"187-d2a29970fa604edba5a6dbec67ace3ae","resultCode":2,"resultText":"200: Transaction was declined by processor.. DECLINE","avsResponseText":"","cvvResponseText":"CVV2/CVC2 no match","customerId":1636} ``` **`ACH payment decline`** ```json ACH payment decline response.responseText: "Declined" response.responseData: {"authCode":null,"referenceId":"187-b4cf271c7e24493aa799cabbccbd534d","resultCode":2,"resultText":"200: Transaction was declined by processor.. FAILED","avsResponseText":"","cvvResponseText":"","customerId":1636} ``` ### Next steps If you executed `pay` as the action, then you will receive a **transaction ID** in the field `ReferenceId`, which identifies the transaction in Payabli. If you executed `method` as the action, then you receive a **stored method ID** in the field `ReferenceId`, which you can then use as `storedMethodId` to make payments at for this Customer using the API (POST to `/api/MoneyIn/getpaid` ). You must use the same `customerId` obtained in the response associated to the stored payment method. Example of Request body using the ReferenceId with API call: ```json { "entryPoint": "test", "paymentMethod": { "method": "card", "storedMethodId": "1234-xyz" //value obtained in "ReferenceId" field }, "paymentDetails": { "totalAmount": 100.0 }, "customerData": { "customerId": 25 } } ``` ## Configuration reference These are the configuration parameters available for the EmbeddedMethod component. > **Note** > > The component accepts only the data below. If you need to pass more data than what's supported, consider using the [temporary token flow](/developer-guides/tokenization-temporary-flow). **`type`** `string` — required This value determines the type of embedded component to render.\ Accepted values are: `methodEmbedded`, `methodLightbox`, `vterminal`, or `expressCheckout`.\ For the EmbeddedMethod UI, this value is `methodEmbedded`.

In the `parameters` argument, include [customerData](/api-reference/schemas/customerdata) and [paymentDetails](/api-reference/schemas/paymentdetail) objects. When the payment is executed, the request returns response data. *This flowchart explains the basic steps for the task. Hover over a step for more information.* Run `payabliExec(pay, parameters)` The action is set to `pay` here. Send the `paymentDetail` and `customerData` object in `parameters`. → Payment executed The transaction is executed and includes the data sent as parameters → Response ### Save a payment method To save a payment method with an embedded component, your component configuration should contain `payabliExec(method, parameters)`. In the `parameters` argument, include [customerData](/api-reference/schemas/customerdata) and [paymentDetails](/api-reference/schemas/paymentdetail) objects. When the payment method is saved, the request returns response data. *This flowchart explains the basic steps for the task. Hover over a step for more information.* Run `payabliExec(method, parameters)` The action is set to `method` here. Send the `paymentDetail` and `customerData` object in `parameters`. → Payment method saved The payment method is saved and includes the data sent as parameters → Response ### Save a payment method and make a payment You can save a payment method and make a payment with the EmbeddedMethod UI component by writing a callback function to execute the payment after successfully saving the payment method. To save a payment method and then execute a transaction with the saved payment method, your component configuration should contain `payabliExec(method, parameters)`. In the `parameters` argument, include the [customerData](/api-reference/schemas/customerdata) and [paymentDetails](/api-reference/schemas/paymentdetail) objects. When the payment method is saved, use a callback function to execute the transaction. > **Warning** > > Remember to never make payment transactions via client-side API requests. Your callback function should make the payment transaction using a server-side function. *This flowchart explains the basic steps for the task. Hover over a step for more information.* Run `payabliExec(method, parameters)` Here, the action is set to `method`. Send the `paymentDetail` and `customerData` object in `parameters`. → Payment method saved The payment method is saved and includes the data sent as parameters. An ID for the payment method is returned, which is then used to make transactions. → Callback function Use a callback function to send a transaction that uses the new payment method. → Response > If you're a software company, you're a payments company™
