episode you'll learn how to implement an html and javascript client to accept a one-time baleto payment with a custom form so baleto is an official payment method in brazil it's regulated by the brazilian federation of banks or like the central bank of brazil and to complete a transaction customers receive a voucher that says the amount that they're going to pay for goods and services it also has like a numeric code customers then pay for baleto before its expiration date at one of several different places including authorized agencies banks atms or like online banking portals then you as the merchant will receive payment confirmation after 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 you want to start adding support for accepting and creating these boleto vouchers on the front end so if you don't already have a server implemented head over and take a look at one of our example integrations in an officially supported server language also before we get too far if you're using react we have videos for accepting baleto payments with that client implementation and that'll also be linked down in the description all right let's get started so our server is up and running it has two endpoints that we're gonna interact with today one is slash config for fetching publishable keys the other is slash create payment intent and that's going to take in a payment method type we're going to pass beletto here and it will also take a currency we're going to pass hey house this endpoint is going to create a payment intent on the server and then return its client secret property we're going to use this client secret property to confirm the payment on the client all right so let's take a look at what we already have right now that we've got a simple index.html file here with a link out to baleto.html on the right side we see our demo preview so this is the baleto page that we'll go implement now so we've already scaffolded out a basic html structure next we're going to import stripe.js from js.stripe.com then import utils it's just gonna have a simple helper function for logging out status messages to this div down on line nine and finally we're gonna import baleto.js which again is uh yet to be implemented now to add boletto to our form we don't need any special elements any stripe elements instead we can collect some billing information from the customer and then we will submit that when we're confirming payment now for boletto at a minimum we need the name the email we're going to collect the tax id a and then the full address so the the address line 1 the city state postal code and the country for the customer great now if we refresh the browser on the right-hand side we'll see all of our form controls but if we hit that pay button nothing happens yet because we haven't wired up the javascript that's required for this payment form so let's go implement boletto.js next and in here we're going to just start out with a wrapper that says when the dom is fully loaded initialize a brand new instance of stripe we're going to pass in our publishable key here again this is a publishable key for a stripe account based in brazil so that we have access to the baleto payment method type then we can grab reference to the form element that we just created earlier and when the form is submitted we want to do two things first we're going to create a payment intent on the server and second we're going to confirm that payment intent on the client we're going to use the built-in fetch api to send a post request to create payment intent which will return a promise that's going to resolve with either an error property that we're just going to alias to back end error or that client secret property that we saw earlier again this create payment intent endpoint is expecting two arguments the payment method type and currency now in practice you might hard code the payment method types the list of payment method types that are accepted for your payment intent on the server directly in order to demonstrate the widest variety of payment method types we've opted to pass in the payment method type in currency combo from the client so that we can demonstrate yeah so we can demonstrate the widest variety of the combinations of those two now if the server responds with an error then we are going to log out that error message and return early otherwise we're going to confirm that payment intent using the confirm baleto payment method which is available with stripe.js now confirm boletto payment accepts two arguments the first is that client secret property that we just got back from the server and the second is a big options block that we're going to pass in all this data that we collected from the form including some billing details like the address the name and the email here in this options block we will also pass in um the tax id information we'll use document.query selector to quickly grab reference to all of those input controls that we created earlier and we will include those values in the options block that we just passed to confirm beletto payment all right so confirm beletto payment is going to return a promise that will resolve with either an error property or a payment intent again we'll do a quick check to see if there was an error and if so we'll add an error message displaying what was returned from stripe when we attempted to confirm this otherwise we'll simply log the status of the payment intent and the payment intents id all right great at this point we're ready to take it for a spin so let's refresh our page and hit pay and you'll see that a modal is opened immediately and this is the test mode voucher that you're going to see that's the belotto number that we're going to use to go and make a payment if you click on download pdf you'll see the full pdf document with the barcode which is also handy if you're going down and paying in person at a bank and ultimately once we have in test mode completed that payment by closing out the modal you'll see that the the payment has been made we can go check it out in the stripe dashboard it's going to start out in the state of incomplete and after about one minute it will transition to succeeded now one failure mode for beletto is that the voucher expires without being paid and so in order to test that scenario we can pass in a special email address where we add in the alias of expire with delay or you can just pass expire with delay at example.com in order to test this scenario and you'll see that in the stripe dashboard now it'll again the payment will start out as incomplete but again after about a minute or so it will transition into this failed state which allows you to sort of build your logic around the case where you have issued a beletto voucher but it never is actually paid and it does expire it's worth noting that on the server if you'd like to specify how many days until the polito voucher can expire you can do that you can also manually build your own voucher pages based on the payment intent that's coming back from from stripe when confirming so there's a number of different customization features and today we've really just gone through the basics for setting up and accepting baleto payments just as a super quick recap of what we covered today in baleto.html we imported three new script tags one is importing stripe.js the other is utils for adding some status messages here and finally uh we imported beletto.js for implementing the actual logic for creating that payment intent confirming it here on the client we also added a form where we collected the minimum details required to confirm a baleto payment the name email tax id address city state zip and the country now in beletto.js we initialized the brand new instance of the stripe object passing in our publishable key again this publishable key could come from config next we grabbed reference to the form and added a submit handler that said when the form is submitted we want to create a payment intent on the server passing in paletto and hey house and if there was an error then we're going to log that out to the console otherwise we're going to try to confirm that payment on the client passing in all the information we collected from the form while and in addition to the client secret that was returned from the server in order to see that voucher and then finally we just added a little logging here at the bottom so at this point you should be fully equipped to implement a custom form with html and javascript to accept a baleto payment thanks so much for watching and we'll see you in the next one --- [Back to all videos](https://www.cjav.dev/videos) --- ## Hey Agent, thanks for visiting!
