HTML request fields
Helcim.js will intercept your form data based on the respective HTML input elements field ID value. It will then send that information as a payload to the Helcim API to process either a Verify, Pre-Auth, or Purchase transaction, depending on the selection in your Helcim.js configuration.
Below is a list of all fields that can be set as part of a Helcim.js implementation to be included in your request.
Credit card information input fields
HTML input fields for sensitive credit card information should not have an HTML field name, only an HTML field "id".
This will allow the JavaScript to retrieve the values using getElementById, but prevent the fields from being submitted back to your server. After processing the transaction Helcim.js will attempt to mask sensitive data before submitting the HTML form back to your website.
Required input fields
The following table outlines the HTML input fields that are required in order to process a payment through your Helcim.js integration.
This includes the field to pass your Helcim.js Configuration token, in addition to relevant fields to collect credit card information and complete address verification.
| Field ID | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| token | hidden | The value of this hidden field should be your Helcim.js Configuration token. |
| cardNumber | text | The value of this field should be the credit card number to be used for processing. It must not include any spaces or special characters. |
| cardExpiry | text | The value of this field should be the credit card expiry, in the MMYY format. It must not include any spaces or special characters separating the month and year values. Alternatively you may send cardExpiryMonth and cardExpiryYear separately, as outlined below. |
| cardExpiryMonth | text | The value of this field should be the credit card expiry month, in the MM format, such as 01 for January, or 11 for November. When sending cardExpiryMonth in this manner, you should also send the cardExpiryYear in it's relevant input field. |
| cardExpiryYear | text | The value of this field should be the credit card expiry year, in the YY or YYYY format. When sending cardExpiryYear in this manner, you should also send the cardExpiryMonth in it's relevant input field. |

| cardHolderName | text | The value of this field should be the credit card holders name, as it appears on their card. |
| cardHolderAddress | text | This value of this field should be the credit card holders address. This value is used to complete address verification for additional fraud protection, but does not impact the outcome of the transaction. |
