Set up a payment form

This section describes how to create a payment form and integrate it into your website. This section also describes how to purchase a product and how to create a purchase of a set amount.

Initial setup

Include the library and provide the HTML.

Include the library

Include the Rebilly Instruments library using the Rebilly CDN:

https://cdn.rebilly.com/instruments/@latest/core.js

index.html

Include your Rebilly Instruments initialization script

Use the defer attribute to ensure the script is executed after the HTML is loaded.

index.html

Specify mounting controls

The default mounting points are .rebilly-instruments and .rebilly-instruments-summary.

To provide custom mounting points, pass a valid CSS class or a HTML element to the RebillyInstrument.mount() function, as a parameter.

index.html

Configure the library

This step describes the basic setup for mounting.

Initialize the library

Use this method to initialize the library and to configure the experience. This method returns a Promise and accepts a single configuration object.

For more information, see RebillyInstrument.mount().

index.js

Provide Rebilly account data

To initialize Rebilly Instruments, provide your:

Publishable API key
Organization ID
website ID

To Obtain IDs and API keys, see Prerequisites.

index.js

Provide purchase data

Select one of the following:

Purchase a product:
Provide the planId and quantity properties. To create a pricing plan, see Prerequisites.

items: [
    {
        planId: 'rebilly-e-book',
        quantity: 1
    },
]

Payment of a set amount:
Provide the money property and the purchase amount.

money: {
    amount: 100,
    currency: 'USD'
}

The following purchase data properties are available:items, money, invoiceId, transactionId. For more information, see Purchase data examples.

A JWT is required to process a purchase based on invoiceId or transactionId. To complete this type of purchase see, Process payment from an invoice.

index.js

Optional: Include listeners

Use the instrument-ready and purchase-completed to connect to the lifecycle of the library.

instrument-ready

Indicates when an instrument token is created, and provides access to the instrument response. RebillyInstruments.on('instrument-ready')

index.js

purchase-completed

Indicates when a purchase is completed, and provides access to the transaction response.

For more information, see RebillyInstruments.on('purchase-completed').

index.js

Run the application

Host the files with a local server.

Run a web server

A web server must be used to preview the project, as the browser will block API requests due to CORS.

To run a local server with Python 3, run:

python -m http.server 8000

Make a test payment

Open a browser and navigate to http://localhost:8000/ to see the Rebilly Instruments form.

To complete the payment flow, use this test card number: 4111 1111 1111 1111, with any future expiration date, and any 3-digits for the CVC number. For more test cards, see Test payment cards and IBANs.
