DR Terms component

Learn how to use the DR terms component.

Use the drb2b_drTermsElement component to display the Digital River terms and conditions. The shopper must select the check box in this component to accept the Digital River terms and conditions. You can configure this component in the flow.

You can use the drb2b_drTermsElement component with the Bypass Validation designer attribute. If the Bypass Validation value is true, the system bypasses validation for the drb2b_drTermsElement component.

Note: If you choose to bypass the validation, you must add a custom validation using the event triggered by the drb2b_drTermsElement component to ensure the shopper agrees to the terms and conditions.

This component uses a visual force page where DigitalRiver.js and DR.CSS are loaded.

The Lightning Messaging service triggers an event every time a shopper selects or clears the check box next to the Digital River terms and conditions. The event data includes isSelected with a value of true or false. The true value indicates the shopper selected the check box and the false value indicates the shopper cleared the check box. The event data also contains the termsString variable which contains the text for the terms the shopper agrees to. The text includes any raw HTML tags returned by Digital River. This allows you to save the terms the shopper agreed to if needed.

You can subscribe to this event. This event is triggered when the shopper selects the check box to agree to the Digital River terms and conditions or a custom validation.

Subscribing to an event

Import the digitalriverv3__DRTermsMessageChannel__c message channel and message service into a custom javascript file as shown in below.

Import example

import { subscribe, MessageContext } from 'lightning/messageService';
import toggleCheckboxMS from '@salesforce/messageChannel/digitalriverv3__DRTermsMessageChannel__c';

Declare the messageContext variable as shown below.

messageContext example

 @wire(MessageContext) messageContext;

Subscribe to an event as shown below.

Subscribe example

 subscribeToMessageChannel() {
        if (!this.subscription) {
            this.subscription = subscribe(
                this.messageContext,
                toggleCheckboxMS,
                (message) => this.handleMessage(message),
            );
        }
    }
 
   
 
    handleMessage(message){
       // implement logic here
    }

The message contains the following parameters.

Parameter	Description
isSelected	The value is true or false depending on whether or not the shopper agreed to the terms and conditions by selecting the check box.
termsString	The value contains the HTML encoded text for the terms and conditions displayed to the shopper.

If you want to add the drb2b_drTermsElementcomponent to the Place Order page, you can only use one drb2b_orderSummarycomponent in the flow or template.

Using the Hide Terms UI attribute to hide terms

As mentioned, you use the drb2b_drTermsElement component to display order terms and conditions. The checkbox used in this component lets a shopper actively accept terms and conditions of the order.

You use this component in your shopping flow as follows:

• drb2b_drTermsElement component is provided with a designer Hide Terms UI attribute by the name. By default, the value of this designer attribute is False. You can hide the terms by setting the value of the attribute to True.

• When you do this, an event is published with the Terms string by using the digitalriverv3__DRTermsMessageChannel__c event. You subscribe to this event to use the terms the shopper agrees to or to implement a custom validation.

When the DR terms component UI is hidden, you are responsible for ensuring that the shopper agrees to the Digital River terms, as the component validation is disabled when the UI is hidden. Additionally, when the cart contains subscription products, you must make sure to fire an event after the shopper agrees to the terms. The shopper's acceptance of the terms then updates the DR checkout with those agreed-to terms.

Publishing an event make update checkout call

When subscription products are present in the cart if the Hide Terms UI designer attribute is set to true, you need to publish an event to ensure that the checkout is updated after the shopper agrees to the subscription terms. Use the following steps to publish an event and make an update checkout call with the terms string.

Import the DigitalRiverMessageChannel__c message channel and message service into the DR terms component JavaScript file. If you have already done this, you do not need to do it again. For example:

Import message example

import { publish,subscribe, MessageContext } from 'lightning/messageService';
import dr_lms from '@salesforce/messageChannel/DigitalRiverMessageChannel__c';

Declare the Message Context variable. If it is already imported, you do not need to do it again. For example:

Declare variable example

@wire(MessageContext) messageContext;

Publish the event. The publishing event purpose should be updateCheckoutWithTermsString. For example:

Publish event example

publish(this.messageContext, dr_lms, {
    purpose: 'updateCheckoutWithTermsString'
});

Note: The stored termString containing the Digital River standard terms is used to make the update checkout API call. Client-specific terms are not supported.

Use an event to customize client validations

By default, you can use the drb2b_drTermsElement component to validate that a shopper has agreed to Digital River’s terms and conditions. Sometimes, however, you made need to perform custom validations. An example use case could be that you need to introduce additional client specific terms that shoppers must agree to or you need to provide navigation elements on the page such as a Back button.

Be aware of the following when using the DR Terms component with custom validations:

• When you use the db2b_drTermsElement component, it fires an event that contains a Boolean value based on whether the shopper has checked the checkbox next to the Digital River terms. This event also contains an HTML encoded string of the terms the shopper should be presented with. This event will be triggered on load of terms component and when change in value of checkbox.

• You must subscribe to the event, do the validation, and handle successes and errors.

• When using this feature, you are responsible for validating that the shopper has agreed to the Digital River Terms in addition to performing any other validation logic.

• To support custom validations, you need to set the Bypass validation designer attribute to True on the drb2b_drTerms component. If you are using the component on the Place Order page, the Bypass Validation designer attribute on any drb2b_orderSummary components should be set to True as well.

Note: If you call your custom client custom validation from the Place Order page, it is recommended that you hide the Place Order button(s) included in the Order Summary component and instead display a custom button. After performing the custom validation, you should fire an event to call the place order logic.

Note: If you choose to bypass the validation, you must add a custom validation using the event triggered by the drb2b_drTermsElement component to ensure the shopper agrees to the terms and conditions.
