This is the repository for the talk "Como desenvolver uma integração de pagamentos em menos de 30 minutos" on Mercado Livre Experience 2019
In this talk we are going to be making an end-to-end integration using the Mercado Pago SDK. We are going to be making the Frontend and Backend.
For this live coding we are going to be using NodeJS with the next packages:
- create-react-app - Frontend Application
- express - Backend for communication with Mercado Pago APIs
- mercadopago - Mercado Pago official SDK
If you have any doubt about NodeJS you can see reference here
To prevent poor internet connection during the talk, I divided this repository in the steps that we are going to be following. The node_modules
folder is going to be versioned
This is the initial commit. The repository is going to be empty here...
Now we are going to be creating a basic React application using create-react-app
$ npx create-react-app .
Once this command was executed we can run the server:
$ npm run start
First we remove all the styles and HTML added by create-react-app.
Now, we are finally ready to start the integration. Go to the Developer Site and to the API section:
Then you need to follow the documentation step by step
Add mercadopago.js
to your HTML. This is the Mercado Pago Javascript SDK
On the index.html
file in your /public
folder, you need to add the current script
<script src="https://secure.mlstatic.com/sdk/javascript/v1/mercadopago.js"></script>
To prevent internet connection failure during the talk I copied the script on the
/public
folder
This is the first thing you want to do when your page starts up. To achieve this in a React lifecycle, this needs to be done it on your componentDidMount
method. This method is going to guarantee that the DOM is ready and the mercadopago.js
is lodaded on them
componentDidMount() {
window.Mercadopago.setPublishableKey('TEST-0f1ac411-40d9-494c-8c26-a7e6795e70cb');
}
This credential is from a test user. It was refreshed after the talk ended to preventing impersonification. Replace it with your own one.
To achieve this we need to convert the App.js
to a Class (Class Component). Why? Because create-react-app created the App.js
a stateless component by default.
import React, { Component } from 'react';
import './App.css';
class App extends Component {
componentDidMount() {
window.Mercadopago.setPublishableKey('TEST-0f1ac411-40d9-494c-8c26-a7e6795e70cb');
}
render() {
return (
<div className="App">
<h1>Checkout</h1>
</div>
)
};
}
Yeah! 🙌 We just created an empty Application and configured the Mercado Pago SDK.
Like every Checkout out there we need a payment form. In this form we are going to be asking the basic information to process the payment and prevent fraud payments. This form is ready for you on the Developers Site.
Not so fast ✋! This form is ready for plain HTTP, but not for React
<form action="" method="post" id="pay" name="pay">
<fieldset>
<ul>
<li>
<label htmlFor="email">

</label>
<input
id="email"
name="email"
defaultValue="[email protected]"
type="email"
placeholder="your email"
/>
</li>

data-checkout="docNumber"
placeholder="12345678"
/>
</li>
</ul>
<input
type="hidden"
name="paymentMethodId"
/>
<input type="submit" value="Pay!" />
</fieldset>
</form>
Note that the document type selector is empty. We are going to talk about this later
The form looks really ugly with the CSS default by the browser. Let's add this CSS sugar 💅
body {
background: #f5f6f8;
font-size: 14px;
}
.App {
margin: 0 auto;
}
h1 {
padding: 10px;
margin-bottom: 0px;
}
form {
margin: 0 auto;
padding: 10px;
}
fieldset {
padding: 0px;
border: 0px;
}
ul {
padding: 0px;
margin: 0px;
list-style: none;
}
label {
display: block;
margin: 5px 0px 5px 0px;
}
input,
select {
padding: 12px 10px;
min-width: 100%;
box-sizing: border-box;
border: 2px solid #eee;
border-radius: 0px;
height: 40px;
}
input[type=submit] {
margin-top: 10px;
padding: 5px 15px;
color: white;
background: #009ee3;
border: 1px solid #009ee3;
cursor: pointer;
-webkit-border-radius: 5px;
border-radius: 5px;
height: 50px;
font-size: 14px;
}
input[type=submit]:hover {
background: #32b3ff;
border-color: #32b3ff;
}
Looking what we just:
- Created the application
- Added and configured the Mercado Pago SDK
- Added and adapted the Payment Form
The form doesn't work by itself, we need to attach some events to the input and use the SDK to initialize the magic.
Remember that I told you that the Identification <select>
was empty?. This is because the SDK provides you a method (getIdentificationTypes
) to auto populate this field using your credentials
window.Mercadopago.getIdentificationTypes();
We need to add this method (getIdentificationTypes
) inside componentDidMount
This method is in charge of populating the identification types
<select>
One of the fields required to process a payment is the Payment Method Id
* entered by the user. For getting this field the SDK provides you a method call getPaymentMethod
that using the first 6 digits of the credit card number entered is going to guess the Payment Method Id
.
To do this we need to add the onChange
prop on the credit card number <input>
<input
type="text"
id="cardNumber"
data-checkout="cardNumber"
placeholder="4509953566233704"
autoComplete="off"
onChange={this.guessingPaymentMethod}
/>
guessingPaymentMethod(event) {
const bin = event.currentTarget.value;
if (bin.length >= 6) {
window.Mercadopago.getPaymentMethod({
//"bin": bin.substring(0, 6),
}, this.setPaymentMethodInfo);
}
}
Then we need to create the method setPaymentMethodInfo
that we are using as a callback on guessingPaymentMethod
. This method is going to be in charge of population the hidden <input>
with the value from the guessing
setPaymentMethodInfo(status, response) {
if (status === 200) {
const paymentMethodElement = document.querySelector('input[name=paymentMethodId]');
if (paymentMethodElement) {
paymentMethodElement.value = response[0].id;
} else {
const form = document.querySelector('#pay');
const input = document.createElement('input');
input.setAttribute('name', 'paymentMethodId');
input.setAttribute('type', 'hidden');
input.setAttribute('value', response[0].id);
form.appendChild(input);
}
} else {
alert(`Payment Method not Found`);
}
};
This is the process when all of the payer information is converted into a safe id to prevent hackers to stole of your information.
How we do this? The SDK Provides a method call createToken
to convert this information into the safe id (token)
To achieve this we need to attach a onSubmit
event for the checkout form
<form action="" method="post" id="pay" name="pay" onSubmit={this.onSubmit}>
Then we need to add the onSubmit
method that is going to use the createToken
provided by the SDK
onSubmit(event) {
event.preventDefault();
const form = document.querySelector('#pay');
window.Mercadopago.createToken(form, this.sdkResponseHandler); // The function "sdkResponseHandler" is defined below
return false;
}
This method is going to generate the safe id (token
) to be added on the on the <form>
. To do this we need copy the example from the Developers Site.
sdkResponseHandler(status, response) {
if (status !== 200 && status !== 201) {
alert("verify filled data");
} else {
const form = document.querySelector('#pay');
const card = document.createElement('input');
card.setAttribute('name', 'token');
card.setAttribute('type', 'hidden');
card.setAttribute('value', response.id);
form.appendChild(card);
form.submit();
}
};
If you see this example, once the token
is generated is going to submit the form. This is causing that the token
is generated again and before its generated again the form is submitted again. We need to add a variable on the state to stop this.
constructor(props){
super(props);
this.setPaymentMethodInfo = this.setPaymentMethodInfo.bind(this);
this.guessingPaymentMethod = this.guessingPaymentMethod.bind(this);
this.sdkResponseHandler = this.sdkResponseHandler.bind(this);
this.onSubmit = this.onSubmit.bind(this);
this.state = {
submit: false,
};
}
Then we need to prevent the re generation of the token
on the onSubmit
method
onSubmit(event) {
event.preventDefault();
if (!this.state.submit) {
const form = document.getElementsByTagName('form')[0];
window.Mercadopago.createToken(form, this.sdkResponseHandler);
}
}
Now we just need to update this state variable in order to work correctly
sdkResponseHandler(status, response) {
if (status !== 200 && status !== 201) {
alert("verify filled data");
this.setState({
submit: false,
});
} else {
this.setState({
submit: true,
});
const form = document.querySelector('#pay');
const card = document.createElement('input');
card.setAttribute('name', 'token');
card.setAttribute('type', 'hidden');
card.setAttribute('value', response.id);
form.appendChild(card);
form.submit();
}
};
You just did the payment form and capture all the necessary information to process the payment
The payment form created previously is going to be making a POST
to our Backend with the next information:
- email - Payer email
- paymentMethodId - Payment Method Id from Guessing
- token - Safe Id (
token
) generated from the Mercado Pago API
Now we need to create our Backend to receive this information and make the payment
Let's start creating a /api
folder on the root
of our project and initialize a NPM project with the next command:
$ npm init
The previous command generated a
package.json
file
Now we can install the following dependencies:
- express - Web Framework
- body-parser - Used to capture the
body
sent from the payemnt<form>
- mercadopago - Official NodeJS Mercado Pago SDK
We can install them with the next command:
$ npm install express body-parser mercadopago --save
Once the dependencies were install, we can start writting our server. First we need an application entry point. We can create it with the next command:
$ touch index.js
Now we need to create a basic express
server
const express = require('express');
const app = express();
app.listen(3001);
Next you need to attach the body-parser
to be able to interpret the information sent via POST
from the <form>
const express = require('express');
const bodyParser = require('body-parser');
const app = express();
// Attach the body-parser
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: false }));
app.listen(3001);
Now we need to add the mercadopago SDK dependency and configure it.
const mercadopago = require('mercadopago');
mercadopago.configurations.setAccessToken('TEST-169606388010973-082414-1c20929a9443e6f84e4f7a855affe0a8-464359136');
Now we are ready to receive the information and make the payment
The first thing to do is creating the route for receiving the information from the <form>
via POST
HTTP method
app.post('/pay', function (req, res) {
// Route handler
});
We can get the payment information from the request
object inside the body
attribute
const token = req.body.token;
const paymentMethodId = req.body.paymentMethodId;
const email = req.body.email;
Then we can construct the payload to be sent to the Mercado Pago Payments API
const paymentData = {
transaction_amount: 100,
token: token,
description: 'MeliXP 2019 - Test Payment',
installments: 1,
payment_method_id: paymentMethodId,
payer: {
email: email,
},
};
The SDK provides a way to create a payment call save
using the payment
object
mercadopago.payment.save(paymentData).then(function (payment) {
res.send(payment);
}).catch(function (error) {
res.status(500).send({
message: error.message
});
});
The only thing missing is changing the action
property on the <form>
previously created
<form action="http://localhost:3001/pay" method="post" id="pay" name="pay" onSubmit={this.o+nSubmit}>
You are all set!
