Usage guide

1. Add JitPack repository to the project level build.gradle file:

   // project gradle file
   allprojects {
       repositories {
           maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
           maven { url = uri("https://maven.fpregistry.io/releases") }
       }
   }
   

2. Add Risk SDK dependency to the module gradle file:

   // module gradle file
   dependencies {
       implementation 'com.github.checkout:checkout-risk-sdk-android:<latest_version>'
   }
   

   You can find more about the installation and available versions on

   Please keep in mind that the Jitpack repository should to be added to the project gradle file while the dependency should be added in the module gradle file. (More about build configuration files is available here).

3. Obtain a public API key from Checkout Dashboard.

4. Initialise the package with the getInstance method passing in the required configuration (public API key and environment) early-on.

   // Example usage of package
   val yourConfig = RiskConfig(publicKey = "pk_qa_xxx", environment = RiskEnvironment.QA)
   // Initialise the package with the getInstance method early-on
   val riskInstance =
       Risk.getInstance(
           context,
           RiskConfig(
               BuildConfig.SAMPLE_MERCHANT_PUBLIC_KEY,
               RiskEnvironment.QA,
               false,
           ),
       ).let {
           it?.let {
               it
           } ?: run {
               null
           }
       }
   
   

5. When the shopper selects Pay, publish the device data with the publishData method on the Risk instance and retrieve the deviceSessionId.

   // Publish the device data with the publishData method
   riskInstance?.publishData().let {
       if (it is PublishDataResult.Success) {
           println("Device session ID: ${it.deviceSessionId}") // dsid_XXXX
       }
   }
   

Public API

The package exposes two methods:

1. getInstance - This method returns a singleton instance of Risk. When the method is called, preliminary checks are made to Checkout’s internal API(s) that retrieve the public keys used to initialise the package for collecting device data. If the checks fail or the merchant is disabled, null will be returned, else, if the checks are successful, the Risk instance is returned to the consumer of the package which can now be used to publish the data with the publishData method.

   Arguments

   data class RiskConfig(val publicKey: String, val environment: RiskEnvironment, val framesMode: Boolean = false)
   
   // Instance creation of Risk Android package
   public class Risk private constructor(...) {
       public companion object {
           ...
           public suspend fun getInstance(applicaitonContext: Context, config: RiskConfig): Risk? {
               ...
           }
       }
   }
   
   enum class RiskEnvironment {
       QA,
       SANDBOX,
       PROD
   }
   

   Responses

   class Risk private constructor(...) {
       companion object {
           ...
           suspend fun publishData(...): ... {
               ...
           }
       }
   }
   

2. publishData - This is used to publish and persist the device data.

   Arguments

   public suspend fun publishData(cardToken: String? = null): PublishDataResult {
   ...
   }
   

   Responses

       public sealed class PublishDataResult {
           public data class Success(val deviceSessionId: String) : PublishDataResult()
   
           public data object PublishFailure : PublishDataResult()
       }

Demo projects

Our sample application showcases our prebuilt UIs and how our SDK works. You can run this locally e.g. with Android Studio after adding your public key as an environment variable. See steps below:

• Add environment variable: For example if your public key is pk_test_123 you would add the following to your ~/.bash_profile or ~/.zshrc file:
  export SAMPLE_MERCHANT_PUBLIC_KEY=pk_test_123.
• Once you clone the repository, open it in Android Studio and click on the Run button.
