iOS

Integrating iOS BenefitPay SDK in your application

Introduction

Before diving into the development process, it's essential to establish the prerequisites and criteria necessary for a successful build. In this step, we'll outline the specific iOS requirements, including the minimum SDK version and other important details you need to consider. Let's ensure your project is set up for success from the very beginning.

Sample Demo

Step 1: Requirements

  • We support from iOS 13.0+
  • Swift Version 5.0+
  • Objective-C

Step 2: Get Your Public Keys

While you can certainly use the sandbox keys available within our sample app which you can get by following the installation process, however, we highly recommend visiting our onboarding page, there you'll have the opportunity to register your package name and acquire your essential Tap Key for activating BenefitPay-iOS integration.

Step 3: Installation

  1. Swift Package Manager

    1. Open your project's settings.
    2. Navigate to Package Dependencies
    3. Add a new package
    4. Paste BenefitPay-iOS package url : https://github.com/Tap-Payments/BenefitPay-iOS.git
    5. Add to the target.
  1. CocoaPods

    1. Add this to your pod file
    2. pod BenefitPay-iOS
    3. Run this in terminal
pod install
pod update

Step 4: Integrating BenefitPay-iOS

This integration offers two distinct options: a simple integration designed for rapid development and streamlined merchant requirements, and an advanced integration that adds extra features for a more dynamic payment integration experience.

Integration Flow

your storyboard then implement the functionality through code or fully create it by code. Below we will describe both flows:

  1. You will have to create a variable of type BenefitPayButton, which can be done in one of two ways:
    • Created in the storyboard and then linked to a variable in code.
    • Created totally within the code.
  2. Once you create the variable in any way, you will have to follow these steps:
    • Create the parameters.
    • Pass the parameters to the variable.
    • Implement BenefitPayButtonDelegate protocol, which allows you to get notified by different events fired from within the BenefitPay-iOS SDK, also called callback functions.

Initialising the UI

📘

Note: You can initialise the BenefitPay-iOS SDK either using Storyboard for the UIView then implementing the functionality through code or directly create everything through Code as provided below.

Using Storyboard

  1. Creating the BenefitPayButton in storyboard
    1. Drag and drop a UIView inside the UIViewController you want in the Storyboard.
    2. Declare as of type BenefitPayButton
    3. Make an IBOutlet to the UIViewController.
  1. Accessing the BenefitPayButton created in storyboard in your code 3. Create an IBOutlet from the created view above to your UIViewController
 /// The outlet from the created view above
@IBOutlet weak var benefitPayButton: BenefitPayButton!

Using Code to create the BenefitPayButton

  • Creating the BenefitPayButton from code
  1. Head to your UIViewController where you want to display the BenefitPayButton as a subview.
  2. Import BenefitPay-iOS as follows import BenefitPay_iOS at the top of your UIViewController.
  3. Create a class variable var benefitPayButton:BenefitPayButton = .init() /// An instance of the benefit pay button
  4. In the coming code sample, we will show how to create the view and how to set its layout constraints to take full width as recommended.
.
.
.
// Add it as a subview
view.addSubview(benefitPayButton)
// Make it adjusts to constraints at run time
benefitPayButton.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = **false**
// Set the constraints as recommended by us to have full width + leading & trailing paddings.
// Let us center vertically for demo purposes
// Height is to be set to 48
NSLayoutConstraint.activate([
benefitPayButton.leadingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: **self**.view.leadingAnchor, constant: 10),
benefitPayButton.trailingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: **self**.view.trailingAnchor, constant: -10),
benefitPayButton.centerYAnchor.constraint(equalTo: **self**.view.centerYAnchor)])
.
.

Step 5: Choose your Integration

Simple Integration

Here, you'll discover a comprehensive table featuring the parameters applicable to the simple integration. Additionally, you'll explore the various methods for integrating the SDK, either using storyboard to create the layout and then implementing the controllers functionalities by code, or directly using code. Furthermore, you'll gain insights into how to receive the callback notifications.

Parameters

Each parameter is linked to the reference section, which provides a more in depth explanation of it.

ParameterDescriptionRequiredTypeSample
operatorIt has the key obtained after registering your package name, also known as Public key. Also, the hashString value which is used to validate live charges.TrueDictionarylet operator:[String:Any]\: ["publicKey":"pk_test_YhUjg9PNT8oDlKJ1aE2fMRz7", "hashString":""]
orderOrder details linked to the charfe.TrueDictionarylet order:[String:String] = \["id":"", "amount":1, "currency":"SAR", "description": " description","reference":"","metadata":[:]]
customerCustomer details for charge process.TrueDictionarylet customer = \["id":"","name":\[["lang":"en","first":"TAP","middle":"","last":"PAYMENTS"]], "contact":\["email":"[[email protected]](mailto:[email protected])", "phone":["countryCode":"+965","number":"88888888"]]]

Configuring the BenefitPay-iOS SDK

After creating the UI using any of the previously mentioned ways, it is time to pass the parameters needed for the SDK to work as expected and serve your need correctly.

  1. Creating the parameters

    To allow flexibility and to ease the integration, your application will only has to pass the parameters as a Dictionary[String:Any] .
    First, let us create the required parameters:

    /// The minimum needed configuration dictionary
        let parameters: [String: Any] =
          [
          "operator": ["publicKey": "pk_test_HJN863LmO15EtDgo9cqK7sjS", "hashString": ""],
          "order": [
            "id": "",
            "amount": 0.1,
            "currency": "BHD",
            "description": "description",
            "reference": ""
          ],
          "customer": [
            "id": "",
            "name": [["lang": "en", "first": "TAP", "middle": "", "last": "PAYMENTS"]],
            "contact": [
              "email": "[email protected]",
              "phone": ["countryCode": "+965", "number": "88888888"],
            ],
          ],
        ]
    
  2. Pass these parameters to the created Button variable before as follows

    // We provide the button view the needed parameters and we assign ourselves optionally to be the delegate, where we can listen to callbacks.
    benefitPayButton.initBenefitPayButton(configDict: parameters, delegate: self)
    

    Full code snippet for creating the parameters + passing it BenefitPayButton variable

    import BenefitPay_iOS
    import UIKit
    
    class ViewController: UIViewController {
    
      /// Create a class variable to hold your benefit pay button
      var benefitPayButton: BenefitPayButton = .init()
      /// The minimum needed configuration dictionary
      let parameters: [String: Any] =
        [
          "operator": ["publicKey": "pk_test_HJN863LmO15EtDgo9cqK7sjS", "hashString": ""],
          "order": [
            "id": "",
            "amount": 0.1,
            "currency": "BHD",
            "description": "description",
            "reference": "",
          ],
          "customer": [
            "id": "",
            "name": [["lang": "en", "first": "TAP", "middle": "", "last": "PAYMENTS"]],
            "contact": [
              "email": "[email protected]",
              "phone": ["countryCode": "+965", "number": "88888888"],
            ],
          ],
        ]
    
      override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        // Do any additional setup after loading the view.
    
        // Add it as a subview
        view.addSubview(benefitPayButton)
        // Make it adjusts to constraints at run time
        benefitPayButton.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
        // Set the constraints as recommended by us to have full width + leading & trailing paddings.
        // Let us center vertically for demo purposes
        // Height is to be set to 48
        NSLayoutConstraint.activate([
          benefitPayButton.leadingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: self.view.leadingAnchor, constant: 10),
          benefitPayButton.trailingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: self.view.trailingAnchor, constant: -10),
          benefitPayButton.centerYAnchor.constraint(equalTo: self.view.centerYAnchor),
        ])
    
        // let us configure the button
        benefitPayButton.initBenefitPayButton(configDict: parameters, delegate: self)
    
      }
    
    }
    
    extension ViewController: BenefitPayButtonDelegate {
    
    }
    

    Receiving Callback Notifications
    Now we have created the UI and the parameters required to to correctly display BenefitPayButton form. For the best experience, your class will have to implement BenefitPayButtonDelegate protocol, which is a set of optional callbacks, that will be fired based on different events from within the benefit button. This will help you in deciding the logic you need to do upon receiving each event. Kindly follow the below steps in order to complete the mentioned flow:

  1. Go back to UIViewController/UiView file you want to get the callbacks into.
  2. Head to the class declaration line
  3. Add BenefitPayButtonDelegate
  4. Override the required callbacks as follows:
  ///  Will be fired whenever there is an error related to the button connectivity or apis
  ///  - Parameter  data: includes a JSON format for the error description and error
  func onError(data: String) {
	print("\n\n========\n\nonError \(data))")
  }
	///  Will be fired whenever the charge is completed, regardless of its status.
	///  - Parameter  data: includes a JSON format for the charge details
  func onSuccess(data: String) {
	print("\n\n========\n\nonSuccess \(data))")
  }
  ///  Will be fired whenever the benefit pay button is rendered and loaded
  func onReady() {
    print("\n\n========\n\nonReady")
  }

  }

}

extension ViewController: BenefitPayButtonDelegate {
  func onError(data: String) {
    print("\n\n========\n\nonError \(data))")
  }

  func onSuccess(data: String) {
    print("\n\n========\n\nonSuccess \(data))")
  }
  
  func onReady() {
    print("\n\n========\n\nonReady")
  }
}

Advanced Integration

The advanced configuration for the BenefitPay-iOS integration not only has all the features available in the simple integration but also introduces new capabilities, providing merchants with maximum flexibility. You can find a code below, where you'll discover comprehensive guidance on implementing the advanced flow as well as a complete description of each parameter.

Parameters

Each parameter is linked to the reference section, which provides a more in depth explanation of it.

ParameterDescriptionRequiredTypeSample
operatorIt has the key obtained after registering your package name, also known as Public key. Also, the hashString value which is used to validate live charges.TrueDictionarylet operator:[String:Any]\: ["publicKey":"pk_test_YhUjg9PNT8oDlKJ1aE2fMRz7", "hashString":""]
OrderOrder details linked to the charfe.TrueDictionarylet order:[String:String] = \["id":"", "amount":1, "currency":"SAR", "description": " description","reference":"","metadata":[:]]
customerCustomer details for charge process.TrueDictionarylet customer = \["id":"","name":\[["lang":"en","first":"TAP","middle":"","last":"PAYMENTS"]], "contact":\["email":"[[email protected]](mailto:[email protected])", "phone":["countryCode":"+965","number":"88888888"]]]
interfaceLook and feel related configurations (optional).FalseDictionary let interface:[String:String] = ["locale": "en", "theme": "light", "edges": "curved", "colorStyle": "colored", "loader": true]
postWebhook for server-to-server updates (optional).FalseDictionary let post:[String:String] = ["url":""]

Initialisation of the input

You can use a Dictionary to send data to our SDK. The benefit is that you can generate this data from one of your APIs. If we make updates to the configurations, you can update your API, avoiding the need to update your app on the App Store.

  /// The   configuration dictionary
  let parameters: [String: Any] =  [
      "operator": ["publicKey": "pk_test_HJN863LmO15EtDgo9cqK7sjS", "hashString": ""],
      "order": [
        "id": "",
        "amount": 0.1,
        "currency": "BHD",
        "description": "description",
        "reference": "",
        "metadata": [:],
      ],
      "invoice": ["id": ""],
      "merchant": ["id": ""],
      "customer": [
        "id": "",
        "name": [["lang": "en", "first": "TAP", "middle": "", "last": "PAYMENTS"]],
        "contact": [
          "email": "[email protected]",
          "phone": ["countryCode": "+965", "number": "88888888"],
        ],
      ],
      "interface": [
        "locale": "en",
        "theme":"light",
        "edges": "curved",
        "colorStyle": "colored",
        "loader": true,
      ],
      "post": ["url": ""],
    ]

Receiving Callback Notifications (Advanced Version)

The below will allow the integrators to get notified from events fired from the BenefitPayButton.

  ///  Will be fired whenever there is an error related to the button connectivity or apis
  ///  - Parameter  data: includes a JSON format for the error description and error
  func onError(data: String) {
	print("\n\n========\n\nonError \(data))")
  }
	///  Will be fired whenever the charge is completed, regardless of its status.
	///  - Parameter  data: includes a JSON format for the charge details
  func onSuccess(data: String) {
	print("\n\n========\n\nonSuccess \(data))")
  }

	///  Will be fired whenever the order is created. use it, if you want to retrieve its data from your backend for state manegement purposes
	///  - Parameter  data: Order id.
  func onOrderCreated(data: String) {
	print("\n\n========\n\nonOrderCreated \(data))")
  }
	///  Will be fired whenever the charge is created. use it, if you want to retrieve its data from your backend for state manegement purposes
	///  - Parameter  data: json data representing the charge model.

  func onChargeCreated(data: String) {
	print("\n\n========\n\nonChargeCreated \(data))")
  }
  ///  Will be fired whenever the benefit pay button is rendered and loaded
  func onReady() {
    print("\n\n========\n\nonReady")
  }
  ///  Will be fired whenever the customer clicked on the benefit pay button. Now the button will be in loading state to render the benefit pay popup
  func onClicked() {
    print("\n\n========\n\nonClicked")
  }
  
  ///  Will be fired whenever the customer cancels the payment. This will reload the button once again
  func onCanceled() {
    print("\n\n========\n\nonCanceled")
  }

Full Code Sample

Once all of the above steps are successfully completed, your UIViewController file should look like this:
