Form insights

Additional information about the payment form

The Solidgate Payment Form is designed for seamless interaction, providing extensive customization and validation features. It dynamically adapts to different card information, supports multiple languages, and ensures compatibility with the latest secure browser versions, providing a smooth and secure payment experience for customers.

First payment flow

Initiating a transaction involves using the paymentIntent object within the Payment Form. This process is the first step in the payment flow, setting the groundwork for a seamless transaction. A series of background steps encompass checks and validations for efficient and secure payment processing. For instance, to prevent double charging for payments, the system ensures each payment form handles just one transaction, regardless of the number of times customers click the payment button.

Validation rules

Front-end validation and auto-tabulation prevent errors and fraud, verify data correctness, enhance user experience, and increase transaction success.

Validation of form fields occurs when a field loses focus.

Card number

Validate the data entered
The validity of the card number is ensured through the Luhn Algorithm for card brands supporting it. The Luhn Algorithm calculates the check digits of a card number following the ISO/IEC 7812 standard.
Define card brand to display the desired logo
For an enhanced user experience in card payments, it is essential to automatically detect the card type and format the card number with appropriate spacing patterns. Implementing this requires identifying the IIN ranges and applying the spacing rules for each card type.
Determine the country of the card by BIN and add fields dynamically if necessary
To dynamically add relevant fields to the payment form, it is necessary to determine the country associated with the card brand. Based on this information, the required additional fields can be dynamically rendered on the front end so the user can provide any missing data specific to their card or location.

Form template: default	Form template: flat	Form template: card

Form template: inline

The field with the cardholder’s name is disabled by default. However, it can be enabled this field through CSS styles.

Rules for the card_holder field are as follows:
- Data entered must have at least 3 characters
- Input is automatically converted from Cyrillic to Latin
- Symbols and numbers are stripped from input, keeping only letters

The card_holder field is specifically required for transactions from certain countries.

Expiry date

The expiration date:

CVV

The CVV field can only accept 3 or 4 digits.

Validation of the CVV field depends on the card brand:

AMERICAN EXPRESS card requires 4 digits for the CVV field
All other card brands require 3 digits for the CVV field

Once the payment data is validated, the payment processing unfolds. Merchants can then receive notifications about the order status and inform customers about the outcome of their payments.

Transaction status communication

The Payment Form allows customers to be immediately redirected to designated pages, indicating successful or unsuccessful transactions through the use of success_url and fail_url parameters.

Unsuccessful
In case of unsuccessful transactions, it is crucial to inform customers about the status and provide clear explanations for the decline. This transparency helps maintain customer trust and enables them to take necessary actions.
Successful
For successful transactions, customers should receive prompt and clear confirmation of their successful payment. It is important to include payment details, such as the payment descriptor, which will be reflected on the customer’s bank statement, promoting transparency and trust. This descriptor is communicated through notifications and upon request for order status.

Additional fields

The Solidgate Payment Form will check the Card BIN and receive a list of necessary additional fields according to information about the BIN country (the first six digits).

Also, depending on the provider, the customer phone parameter is often used to verify the identity of the person making a payment; for example, in India, this is india_pan . This parameter typically requires the person to enter their registered mobile phone number, which is then used to authenticate the payment.

Styling additional fields

Additional fields classes will be formed as follows:

ZIP Code Field Class Sample
