Basic Integration
ChargeAfter SDK is non-obtrusive by design, it is very light-weight (30KB), and loads async in order to prevent the possibility of slowing down the containing website.
The minimum requirements are a public API key provided by ChargeAfter.
The code snippet below shows how to add the ChargeAfter Payment SDK to your website.

<body>
<script>
// the script goes to the end of the body section
function onLoadChargeAfterSDKScript() {
var config = {
// Required: if not provided the SDK will not be initilized
apiKey: 'public-api-key',
// Optional
storeId: 'your-store-id',
// Optional
delegatedMerchantId: '<merchant id to act on behalf of>',
// Optional
onLoaded: function() {
// now we can work with chargeafter sdk
// ChargeAfter.payments.present('apply')
// ChargeAfter.payments.present('checkout',{...})
// not required, automaticly handled by the SDK and widget
// ChargeAfter.promotions.present('sku')
},
// Optional functionality that triggers when user flow finishes
// and modal closes
onComplete: function(payload, context) {
// payload includes same data as Apply/Checkout callbacks
const {data, status, token} = payload;
// 'APPLY' | 'CHECKOUT'
const source = context.source;
/**
only applicable for applications initiated from widget
sku?: string;
price?: string | number;
category?: string;
tag?: string;
*/
const promotion = context.promotion;
}
};
ChargeAfter.init(config);
}
var script = document.createElement('script');

script.type = 'text/javascript';
script.async = true;
