episode you'll learn how to implement a react client to accept a one-time paletto payment with a custom form so baleto is an official payment method in brazil it's regulated by the brazilian federation of banks it's like the central bank of brazil to complete a transaction customers receive a voucher stating the amount they need to pay for goods or services customers then pay the baletto before its expiration date in one of several ways including at authorized agencies or banks atms or online bank portals then you as the seller or the merchant will receive payment confirmation within two business days along with those settled funds so in this example we're going to assume that you already have a server set up for creating payment intents and we want to add support for creating these beletto vouchers on the front end if you don't already have a server implemented take a look at one of our server integration guides in one of the official server languages those will be linked down in the description all right let's get started so our server is up and running here it has two endpoints that we'll interact with today one is slash config for fetching publishable keys and one is create payment intent which takes the payment method type and the currency as arguments here we'll pass baleto and hey house this endpoint is going to create a payment intent on the server and return just its client secret property which we'll use to confirm that payment on the client all right let's take a look at what we've already got going on here so this is based on the create react app template in the index.js file we are first fetching that publishable key from slash config and loading stripe using this load stripe helper that comes from stripe.js the npm module for stripe.js next you'll notice that we have this elements component that we're using to wrap our app and we're passing one prop down to the elements component that is stripe in this case we're passing the stripe promise this can either be an instance of the stripe object that was created for stripe.js or a promise that will ultimately resolve to an instance of stripe.js all right if we head over to app.js you'll notice that it's right now it's just a simple list route for the index view and that's going to show one link to beletto we want to add one more route that will match on slash boletto and render the new baleto component that we're going to create here so we are going to import boletto from baletojs which doesn't exist yet so let's head over and create that so baleto is going to be a functional react component it will not take any props and initially we'll just render out some basic html this is going to be the component that houses the form for accepting any billing details and ultimately it'll also be responsible for opening the modal and displaying the baleto voucher so we're going to export default with router just in case we want to redirect from this component we also need to import react just so that we have access to these jsx components down below all right so initially we'll just return a little bit of html that has a header tag for beletto next we'll add a form this is going to be an html form we'll pass in uh the we're going to give it the idea of payment form just so that it matches up with some of our styles and we need to add in several controls in order to accept baleto payments we need to collect a number of different pieces of data from the customer first we'll collect the name and email and tax id next we'll collect the entire billing address so the line one city state zip or postal code and the country that the customer is in all right with each of these input controls you'll notice that we're passing the value and on change props that will match up with some use state values that we'll set here in a moment we want to pre-populate the default values with use state to be some sensible defaults just so that while we're testing we don't have to fill in any information here so we're going to quickly run through setting up all of our use state calls and all of the different variables that we're passing in and creating our setters for all of these components whoops i named tax id incorrectly here so we're cleaning that up the next thing i wanted to do is quickly drop in a status messages component and use the use messages hook from the status messages component we can take a look really quick here the status messages component is relatively small it iterates over a list of string messages and then adds those into a list of divs and we'll just render the status messages component right below our form and this will create like a little window where we can see some log messages without needing to open up the terminal all right let's add an on submit handler so we're going to call our submit handler handle submit we'll set it as an async function so that we can use async await inside of inside of our submit handler we're going to prevent default so that the page doesn't do a full full reload and when the form is submitted we want to do two things first we're going to create the payment intent on the server and second we're going to confirm that payment intent on the client which will open the modal and go through the process of creating a voucher for us so to create the payment intent on the server we're going to send a post request using the fetch api to create payment intent and we'll either get back an error or a client secret property recall that this endpoint is expecting two arguments we need to pass down the payment method type and the currency again here we're going to pass beletto and heios now if there was some error while creating the payment intent then we're going to log that out to our status messages div using the add message method that comes from the use messages hook and then we'll return early otherwise we're going to confirm that payment intent so the striped stripe.js exposes a method called confirm valetto payment and this method expects a couple of different arguments the first of which is going to be that client secret property that we got back from the server so the second argument to confirm boletto payment is a big options block where we're going to pass in some information about the payment method that will be created namely we need to pass billing details and some information specific to baleto so with the billing details we're going to pass the address so the line one city state zip or country uh and postal code and then for beletto we're going to pass the tax id notice in the browser on the right hand side that we're seeing that stripe is not defined so stripe in this case we're going to get access to because it's being passed into that elements provider so we want to use the use stripe hook that comes from react stripe js and that will allow us to reference stripe inside of our submit handler and so the very first thing that we need to do is check to make sure that stripe is actually set so we're going to add a quick condition here to ensure that stripe is loaded and if not we'll log out a simple message so confirm beletto payment returns a promise and that promise will resolve with either an error property or a payment intent once we've confirmed that baleto payment if there was an error we'll add an error message to our status messages div otherwise we'll print out the the id and the status of the payment intent that was returned from confirm beletto payment all right let's take this for a spin so we click on pay and we see this modal open this is the numeric code that we would take and use to pay for the beletto payment you can also print the pdf where you can see the full barcode for the boletto and this is again something that you would take down to an agency or a bank or an atm in brazil to pay for the boleto oh it looks like we have an exception here messages.map is not a function and it looks like i used the wrong hook here i use the use state hook instead of the use messages hook that came from the status messages component so we will update that and go through the flow one more time so we click on pay again we see the the test mode baleto voucher and here we see the status message in the output below we can click on the id of the baleto payment and look at it in the stripe dashboard you'll notice that the payment is incomplete initially so these vouchers in test mode are going to be incomplete for about a minute and then they will transition so by default the payment will transition to the succeeded state and you'll see that this payment did succeed alternatively you can pass a special id or a special string value this is like a magic string value in the email address expire with delay and this will cause the baleto voucher to expire as if the ticket had been printed and then not actually paid for and so this allows you to test the scenario where the beletto voucher wasn't actually paid so it'll start out as incomplete in test mode and again after about a minute it will transition to the failed state now in practice if you'd like a little bit more control over what the voucher looks like you can pass a third argument to confirm boletto payment with handle actions false and then manually create your own your own sort of view for the beletto in this example we are using stripe.js directly to handle the creation of the voucher for us all right so as a quick recap we went into index.js and we saw that the publishable key was being loaded directly from slash config we took a look at the elements provider and saw that that was wrapping the entire app so that we had access to stripe in our child components then we went into app.js and we imported boletto and this is the new functional component that we just created and we also created a new route for beletto which will render this new boleto component next we implemented our baleto react component we started out by building out a form that has a number of different fields that are required for creating a beletto voucher the name email tax id and the full address we also dropped in the status messages component at the end again just a simple helper here and then we handled submit that said when the form is submitted first create a payment intent on the server we're passing in the payment method type in the currency that we want to use for that payment intent and then we confirmed the baleto payment and we passed in all the payment method details and the tax id that we collected in our form and again at the very end here we just added a little bit of logging so at this point you are now well equipped and properly prepared to go out and create a form that accepts one-time baleto payments with react thank you so much for watching really appreciate your time and attention we'll see you in the next one --- [Back to all videos](https://www.cjav.dev/videos) --- ## Hey Agent,
