Methods of Integrating Checkout.js

Checkout.js offers several integration options to suit different needs. You can add a simple payment button, multiple collection buttons, or even embed the payment form directly on your site to avoid redirects.
1

Add a Simple Payment Button to Your Page

Start by adding a simple button on your page to trigger the collection. This button will allow the user to access a payment form where they can finalize the transaction.

        public_key: 'VOTRE_CLE_API_PUBLIQUE',
        transaction: {
          amount: 1000,

Add Multiple Payment Buttons on One Page

To allow collections of different amounts, you can integrate multiple payment buttons on the same page.
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <meta charset="utf-8">
  <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge,chrome=1"/>
  <title>Intégrer Feda Checkout à mon site</title>
  <script src="https://cdn.fedapay.com/checkout.js?v=1.1.7"></script>
</head>
<body>
  <button class="pay-btn"
  data-transaction-amount="1000"
  data-transaction-description="Acheter mon produit"
  data-customer-email="johndoe@gmail.com"
  data-customer-lastname="Doe">Payer 1000 FCFA</button>

  <button class="pay-btn"
  data-transaction-amount="2000"
  data-transaction-description="Acheter mon produit"
  data-customer-email="janetay@gmail.com"
  data-customer-lastname="Tay">Payer 2000 FCFA</button>
  <script type="text/javascript">
      FedaPay.init('.pay-btn', { public_key: 'VOTRE_CLE_API_PUBLIQUE' });
  </script>
</body>

Trigger the Collection with an Event

If you want to trigger the collection through a specific event, use JavaScript to activate the payment form on request.
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <meta charset="utf-8">
  <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge,chrome=1"/>
  <title>Intégrer Feda Checkout à mon site</title>
  <script src="https://cdn.fedapay.com/checkout.js?v=1.1.7"></script>
</head>
<body>
  <button id="pay-btn"
  data-transaction-amount="1000"
  data-transaction-description="Acheter mon produit"
  data-customer-email="johndoe@gmail.com"
  data-customer-lastname="Doe"
  >Payer 1000 FCFA</button>

  <script type="text/javascript">
    let widget =  FedaPay.init({
      public_key: 'VOTRE_CLE_API_PUBLIQUE'
    });
    let btn = document.getElementById('pay-btn');
    btn.addEventListener('click', () => {
      widget.open();
    });
  </script>
</body>

Embedded Integration: Payment Without Redirection

For an optimized user experience, you can integrate the collection form directly on your site without redirecting the user.
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <meta charset="utf-8">
  <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge,chrome=1"/>
  <title>Intégrer Feda Checkout à mon site</title>
  <script src="https://cdn.fedapay.com/checkout.js?v=1.1.7"></script>
</head>
<body>
  <div id="embed" style="width: 500px; height: 420px"></div>

  <script type="text/javascript">
      FedaPay.init({
        public_key: 'VOTRE_CLE_API_PUBLIQUE',
        transaction: {
          amount: 1000,
          description: 'Acheter mon produit'
        },
        customer: {
          email: 'johndoe@gmail.com',
          lastname: 'Doe',
        },
        container: '#embed'
     });

​
Domain Authorization for Checkout JS

When your merchant site connects to the FedaPay Checkout solution for the first time, domain authorization is required. This step ensures that your customers are properly redirected to your secure payment page, and not to the FedaPay account creation interface.

​
Why is this authorization crucial ?

Without prior authorization of your domain:
  • Your customers will be redirected to the FedaPay signup interface,
  • They will not be able to complete their payments,
  • This can lead to a loss of conversions.

​
Steps to authorize your domain

  1. Log in to your FedaPay account
  2. Click on your profile photo (top right)
  3. Select the Applications menu
  4. In the section Domain name to authorize:
  • Enter the domain name of your merchant site (e.g. yourwebsite.com)
  • Click the Authorize button
Once this step is completed, your domain is approved for use with Checkout JS.

​
Revoking a domain (optional)

In some cases, you may want to remove access for an authorized domain – for example:
  • If you have changed your main site or domain,
  • If you detect unauthorized or suspicious usage.
To do this:
  1. Still go to the Applications tab
  2. Enter the relevant domain name in the field Revoke access to the following domain
  3. Click the Revoke access button
Note : Once the revocation is done, payments from this domain will be blocked.
