Mobile SDKs

Payment methods
This screen allows the customers to select their preferred payment method. The payment method selection UI component can be customized to display only the methods that your system and business support. This component is optional and you are free to create your own UI.
Card Payments
The SDKs provide support for collecting and encrypting card data. For the encryption process you will need to generate a Secure Card Capture key on the organization your username is associated to in Verifone Central. You can hide the Save details for next time option if you are not interested in supporting it. We recommend building your own Thank you page to process the result of the transaction as in the example below.
Customizing card forms
Mobile SDK's customizable UI enables you to edit the font and color of the card form fields.
Legend:
- Card form view background color
- Background color for any text fields in a card form
- Text color for any text fields in a card form
- Text color for any labels in a card form
- Pay button background color
- Pay button background color for disabled state
- Pay button text color
- Card form title color
The card form can also be provided with localization.
3DS
The SDKs provide a native 3DS experience using a Cardinal native SDK witch comes bundled into our own SDKs. To use this function, you need a 3DS contract setup in Verifone Central.
PayPal
For PayPal, we use a webview to display the customer PayPal confirmation details and provide the necessary information to finalize the payment.
Google Pay (Android only)
Mobile SDK is using a native experience leveraging the Google Pay UI. First, Google Pay availability for the given device is being verified, then the customer is guided through the authorization steps. After the customer confirms the transaction, Verifone's system provides you with the necessary information to complete the transaction.
Apple Pay (iOS only)
Mobile SDK is using a native experience, leveraging Apple Pay. It guides the customer through the authorization steps, then provides you with the necessary information to complete the transaction.
