Android Checkout SDK

BoxPay Android SDK enables swift creation of a payment process within your Android application. We offer robust and adaptable UI components ready for immediate use, allowing you to effortlessly accept payments from your shoppers.

To begin integrating with the BoxPay Checkout, the initial step is to register and setup your BoxPay account.

This outlines the typical workflow for integrating a BoxPay Android checkout SDK –

• The shopper taps on the Buy/Pay button on the Merchant App.
• The Merchant Server processes the request and initiates a checkout session through the Create Checkout Session API.
• The Merchant Server receives the BoxPay Checkout token in the response and returns it back to Merchant App.
• Merchant App initiates the BoxPay payment flow by invoking Checkout SDK. Please refer to the Android Checkout SDK Integration Steps section for more details around it.
• The shopper completes the payment on the BoxPay Payment Sheet.
• After payment, BoxPay calls the result callback method with the payment status.
• Depending on the payment status received, the Merchant App redirects the customer to either the Order Confirmation page, or to the payment failed/canceled page.

Android Checkout SDK Integration Steps

Add Maven repository

To start with, you need to add following Jitpack Maven repository to repositories block in your build.gradle/settings.gradle file –

repositories {
    // …
    maven { url = uri("https://www.jitpack.io") }
}

Add SDK dependency

Next step is to add the SDK dependency in your build.gradle (module: app) to access the SDK classes in your App –

plugins {
    id("com.android.application")
}

android { ... }

dependencies {
  // ...

  // BoxPay Android SDK
  implementation("com.github.BoxPay-SDKs:checkout-android-sdk:1.1.19")
}

Initiate the SDK payment flow

In order to initiate the payment flow, you need to create a checkout session from your server endpoint. Additionally, you need to pass the payment result callback function to get notified when the payment is either successful or cancelled by the user. In case of failures, we prompt user to retry in the BoxPay payment sheet itself.

Finally, you can initiate the payments flow using the SDK classes as shown below –

Kotlin Sample Code –

fun initiatePayment() {
    val checkoutToken = // Call your server API that will in-turn call the BoxPay create checkout session api to get the checkout token

    val boxPayCheckout = BoxPayCheckout(this, checkoutToken, :: onPaymentResultCallback)
    // for sandbox env, pass sandboxEnabled as true as shown below - 
    // val boxPayCheckout = BoxPayCheckout(this, checkoutToken, :: onPaymentResultCallback, true)

    boxPayCheckout.display()
}

fun onPaymentResultCallback(result : PaymentResultObject) {
    if (result.status == "Success") {
        // redirect to success screen
    } else {
        // Handle other payment statuses
    }
}

Java Sample Code –

public void initiatePayment() {
    String checkoutToken = // Call your server API that will in-turn call the BoxPay create checkout session api to get the checkout token

    BoxPayCheckout boxPayCheckout = BoxPayCheckout(this, checkoutToken, this::onPaymentResultCallback)
    // for sandbox env, pass sandboxEnabled as true as shown below - 
    // BoxPayCheckout boxPayCheckout = BoxPayCheckout(this, checkoutToken, this::onPaymentResultCallback, true)

    boxPayCheckout.display()
}

public Unit onPaymentResultCallback(PaymentResultObject result){
    if (result.status == "Success") {
        // redirect to success screen
    } else {
        // Handle other payment statuses
    }

    return  Unit.INSTANCE;
}

Verifying the payment status

Once you get the PaymentResultObject in your callback function, you can verify/handle the status as below:

Getting the payment details using Operation Inquiry endpoint

If you need to get additional details, you can invoke BoxPay Operation Inquiry API from your server side component using the transactionId and operationId received in PaymentResultObject as you must NOT store the BoxPay API key in the Android App.
