Rendering a checkout button

Learn how to configure a checkout button that can be used to create a Prebuilt Checkout modal

PreviousThank you componentNextPerforming actions on the checkout button

Last updated 8 months ago

The exposes renderButton(), which allows you to define a checkout button's location, style, and text. It can also hide existing buttons and initiate the creation of a .

The function accepts two parameters, a and .

digitalRiverCheckout.renderButton(buttonContainer, buttonOptions);

Button container

The required button container represents the id for the in which you want to render your checkout button.

<div id="button-container"></div>
...
const buttonContainer = '#button-container';

Button options

In button options, you can:

  • Define how you'd like to handle:

const buttonOptions = {
  style: {
    backgroundColor: '#B52',
    borderRadius: '4px',
    color: '#fff',
    fontSize: '1rem',
    fontWeight: '400',
    fontFamily: 'Montserrat,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif',
    ':hover': {
      color: 'rgb(0, 167, 225)'
    }
  },
  buttonText: 'Proceed to checkout',
  hiddenElement: ['.cart-actions > a.button', '.previewCartAction-checkout > a.button'],
  afterRender: false,
  onInit: (actions) => {},
  onClick: async (actions) => {
    try {
      actions.loading.start();
      const checkoutSessionId = await createCheckoutSession();
      actions.loading.stop();
      if (!checkoutSessionId) {
        return;
      }
      const modalConfig = getConfigObj();
      actions.checkout.modal.open(checkoutSessionId, modalConfig);
    } catch (error) {
      actions.loading.stop();
    }
  },
  onCancel: () => {}
};

Style the button

The style object can be used to define the visual appearance of a checkout button:

  • backgroundColor: Sets the background color

  • borderRadius: Determines the roundness of the button's corners

  • color: Sets the color of the text

  • fontSize: Sets the font size of the text

  • fontWeight: Sets the font weight of the text

  • fontFamily: Specifies the button's font family. If the browser doesn't support the first font, it moves through the list, from left to right, looking for one it does.

  • ':hover': This object contains a nested color property which determines the color of the button when it's hovered over.

const buttonOptions = {
  style: {
    backgroundColor: '#B52',
    borderRadius: '4px',
    color: '#fff',
    fontSize: '1rem',
    fontWeight: '400',
    fontFamily: 'Montserrat,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif',
    ':hover': {
      color: 'rgb(0, 167, 225)'
    }
  },
  ...
};

Customize the button's text

The buttonText allows you to customize the characters displayed on the button. The default value is Check out.

const buttonOptions = {
  ...
  buttonText: 'Proceed to checkout',
  ...
};

Hide elements

const buttonOptions = {
  ...
  hiddenElement: ['.cart-actions > a.button', '.previewCartAction-checkout > a.button'],
  ...
};

In the example, '.cart-actions > a.button' and '.previewCartAction-checkout > a.button' target elements that have a class value of "button" and are descendants of elements with classes of "cart-actions" and "previewCartAction-checkout", respectively.

After button render actions

const buttonOptions = {
  ...
  afterRender: false,
  ...
};

Button initialization event

const buttonOptions = {
  ...
  onInit: (actions) => {},
  ...
};

Button click event

const buttonOptions = {
  ...
  onClick: async (actions) => {
    try {
      actions.loading.start();
      const checkoutSessionId = await createCheckoutSession();
      actions.loading.stop();
      if (!checkoutSessionId) {
        return;
      }
      const modalConfig = getConfigObj();
      actions.checkout.modal.open(checkoutSessionId, modalConfig);
    } catch (error) {
      actions.loading.stop();
    }
  },
  ...
};

Checkout cancel event

const buttonOptions = {
  ...
  onCancel: () => {}
};

The hiddenElement array represents one or more strings that you want to locate and then hide before rendering the checkout button. This allows you to conceal add to cart, cart preview, and similar buttons that might exist on the page.

The afterRender boolean determines whether or not the gets dynamically added to the .

The onInit property can be assigned a callback method, which accepts , that executes when the checkout button first renders.

The onClick property can be assigned a callback method, which accepts , that executes when the user clicks the checkout button.

In most cases, to handle this event, you'll define an asynchronous function that creates a and then passes its identifier to .

For details, refer to on the page.

The onCancel property can be assigned a callback method that executes when users close the before completing the purchase.

The property in the also allows you to listen for modal closed events.
