Checkout Object

This step is done internally by the octifi-websdk.js

Once the customer decides to pay with octifi, the hosted-checkout (octifi-websdk.js) calls the backend to create a checkout object and return a checkout_token to the merchant via callback.

Checkout Api returns a checkout_token

• /checkout/create: For details see checkout apis in the Api reference
• This api uses a Public API key and normally used in the frontend.
• Authorization: Api-Key public_api_key
• Checkout only authorise the payment

In a nutshell:

1. Customer Checkout is step 1
2. Charge/create is the step 2
3. Charge/capture is step 3

Notes:

• Charge api takes checkout_token as a parameter
• Charge capture api should be called from the backend (server side) and requires a private key.
• More details about charge are here: https://docs.octifi.com/charges
• Api: /charge/create/{checkout_token}/
  • For details see charge apis in the Api reference
