Prerequisites

1. Make sure you have created Cashfree Account and API keys are generated.
2. You have created an order.

1. Include JS SDK in your client code

To integrate the Cashfree Checkout, you must include our JavaScript SDK within your JS file.

You can do this by

Option 1: Including the Script Tag. Import the URL in the snippet below to your HTML file.

<script src="https://sdk.cashfree.com/js/v3/cashfree.js"></script>

Option 2: Install from npm

npm install @cashfreepayments/cashfree-js

2. Initialise the SDK

You need to initialise the variable using the Cashfree() function. There are two modes applicable for this - "sandbox" or "production". Sandbox is used for test environment, whereas production is used for production mode.

const cashfree = Cashfree({
    mode:"sandbox" //or production
});

3. Open Cashfree Checkout

To open the checkout, you can use cashfree.checkout()method.
This method can take in following parameters -

• paymentSessionId(required)- This is received in the response of Create Order API.

• redirectTarget(optional) - This lets you decide how to open the Cashfree Checkout. Values allowed and their descriptions are mentioned in the table below.

  Value	Description
  _blank	Opens the payment link in a new window or tab.
  _self(default)	Opens the payment link in the same frame as it was clicked.
  _modal	Opens the payment link in a pop-up window on the current page.
  _top	Opens the linked document in the full body of the window.
  <framename>	Opens the linked document in the named iframe.

Open Cashfree Checkout in following ways:

For _self and _blank redirect targets:

let checkoutOptions = {
    paymentSessionId: "your-payment-session-id",
    redirectTarget: "_blank" //optional (_self or _blank)
}

cashfree.checkout(checkoutOptions)

This method is straightforward for opening the checkout in the same frame (_self) or a new window/tab (_blank).

For the _modal redirect target:

When using _modal, the checkout opens in a pop-up window on the current page. The usage differs slightly as you should handle the promise returned by cashfree.checkout() to execute additional code after the payment attempt:

let checkoutOptions = {
    paymentSessionId: "your-payment-session-id",
    redirectTarget: "_modal"
};

cashfree.checkout(checkoutOptions).then(() => {
    console.log("Payment is attempted, check for status!!");
});
