Use the PayMethod UI component to launch a modal that captures a customer payment method for tokenization and returns an ID. Use the ID make future transactions via API with the `storedMethodId` field. Go to [CodePen](https://codepen.io/payablidocs/pen/XWoyQzL) to see a full working example of this component. ![](/_fern-img/f70039df5c6f4eadc26a6eb1881ada7fec6e3c09c650b065aaf03df7f98f5099.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 The PayMethod UI component is a lightbox that's displayed over content, you need an action or an event to trigger a function to display this modal. > **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. *[Skip to the configuration reference section](#configuration-reference)* In the example below the component modal is hidden by default. In this case you need a button to show the component on demand. Notice that the value for `hideComponent` in the configuration is `true`. This value hides the modal by default. #### Expand for full configuration example **`Full configuration example`** ```html Full configuration example
``` You are ready to use the component in your web page. ### Step 4: Style the component Information about styling embedded components is available in [Embedded Components Overview](/developer-guides/embedded-components-overview#customize-component-styling). ### Response example For both ACH and card methods, a success response looks like this example. The `referenceId` is the ID you use as the `storedMethodId` in other operations. See [Handling responses and errors](/developer-guides/embedded-components-overview#handling-responses-and-errors) for more. ```json response.responseText: "Success" response.responseData {"referenceId":"30e7658e-5c2c-4638-8308-b48edec0718b-1647","resultCode":1,"resultText":"Added","customerId":1647} ``` ### Next steps The PayMethod component tokenizes the payment method, giving you an identifier for the saved method in the field `responseData.ReferenceId`. The identifier is associated with the customer. Use this identifier as the `storedMethodId` in the `paymentMethod` object to submit payments via the API. ## Example: `showModal` and `closeModal` You can show the component modal by calling `showModal` function, or close the component modal by calling `closeModal` function. #### Expand to see code example > **Note** > > You can see an interactive version of this example on [CodePen](https://codepen.io/payablidocs/pen/XWoyQzL) ```html

``` ## Configuration reference These are the configuration parameters available for the PayMethod UI 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 PayMethod UI, this value is `methodLightbox`. See the [Embedded Components Overview](/developer-guides/embedded-components-overview) for more information on other component types. --- **`rootContainer`** `string` — required Container ID used for the component. --- **`defaultOpen`** `string` Sets the default payment method that's shown. Accepted values are: `card` or `ach`. --- **`buttonLabelInModal`** `string` Text label for the action button. --- **`hideComponent`** `boolean` — default: false When true the component is hidden when it's instanced. --- **`token`** `string` — required API token for authentication. --- **`forceCustomerCreation`** `boolean` — default: true When `true`, the component uses the `customerData` object to create a new customer record. When `temporaryToken` is `true` and `forceCustomerCreation` is `false`, the component doesn't create a new customer record. See [Temporary Token Flow](/developer-guides/tokenization-temporary-flow#disable-customer-creation) for more information. --- **`customCssUrl`** `string` Complete URL of a custom CSS stylesheet to use with the component. --- **`temporaryToken`** `boolean` — default: true When `true`, the token created for the payment is temporary. Set this parameter to false to create a storedMethodId and save the payment profile. --- **`card`** `object` — required `cardService` object used to configure accepted card types. #### properties **`enabled`** `boolean` Enable/disable card option. --- **`amex`** `boolean` Enable/disable acceptance of American Express cards. --- **`discover`** `boolean` Enable/disable acceptance of Discover cards. --- **`visa`** `boolean` Enable/disable acceptance of Visa cards. --- **`mastercard`** `boolean` Enable/disable acceptance of MasterCard cards. --- **`diners`** `boolean` Enable/disable acceptance of Diner's Club cards. --- **`jcb`** `boolean` Enable/disable acceptance of JCB cards. --- **`inputs`** `object` Card input fields descriptors.
