PaymentAddress

The PaymentAddress interface of the Payment Request API is used to store shipping or payment address information.

It may be useful to refer to the Universal Postal Union web site's Addressing S42 standard materials, which provide information about international standards for postal addresses.

Properties

PaymentAddress.addressLine Read only

An array of DOMString objects providing each line of the address not included among the other properties. The exact size and content varies by country or location and can include, for example, a street name, house number, apartment number, rural delivery route, descriptive instructions, or post office box number.

PaymentAddress.country Read only

A DOMString specifying the country in which the address is located, using the ISO-3166-1 alpha-2 standard. The string is always given in its canonical upper-case form. Some examples of valid country values: "US", "GB", "CN", or "JP".

PaymentAddress.city Read only

A DOMString which contains the city or town portion of the address.

PaymentAddress.dependentLocality Read only

A DOMString giving the dependent locality or sublocality within a city, for example, a neighborhood, borough, district, or UK dependent locality.

PaymentAddress.organization Read only

A DOMString specifying the name of the organization, firm, company, or institution at the payment address.

PaymentAddress.phone Read only

A DOMString specifying the telephone number of the recipient or contact person.

PaymentAddress.postalCode Read only

A DOMString specifying a code used by a jurisdiction for mail routing, for example, the ZIP code in the United States or the PIN code in India.

PaymentAddress.recipient Read only

A DOMString giving the name of the recipient, purchaser, or contact person at the payment address.

PaymentAddress.region Read only

A DOMString containing the top level administrative subdivision of the country, for example a state, province, oblast, or prefecture.

PaymentAddress.regionCode Read only

A DOMString specifying the region of the address, represented as a "code element" of an ISO3166-2 country subdivision name (e.g. "QLD" for Queensland, Australia, "CA" for California, and so on).

PaymentAddress.sortingCode Read only

A DOMString providing a postal sorting code such as is used in France.

Obsolete properties

The following properties are obsolete and should no longer be used, but may still be present in some browser versions.

PaymentAddress.languageCode Read only

A DOMString indicating the language code of the address. This identifies the language in which the address is given, and is intended to aid in localization of the display of the address.

Methods

PaymentAddress.toJSON()

A standard serializer that returns a JSON representation of the PaymentAddress object's properties.

Examples

In the following example, the PaymentRequest() constructor is used to create a new payment request, which takes three objects as parameters — one containing details of the payment methods that can be used for the payment, one containing details of the actual order (such as items bought and shipping options), and an optional object containing further options.

The first of these three (supportedInstruments in the example below) contains a data property that has to conform to the structure defined by the BasicCardRequest dictionary.

const supportedInstruments = [
  {
    supportedMethods: "basic-card",
  },
];

const details = {
  total: { label: "Donation", amount: { currency: "USD", value: "65.00" } },
  displayItems: [
    {
      label: "Original donation amount",
      amount: { currency: "USD", value: "65.00" },
    },
  ],
  shippingOptions: [
    {
      id: "standard",
      label: "Standard shipping",
      amount: { currency: "USD", value: "0.00" },
      selected: true,
    },
  ],
};

const options = { requestShipping: true };

async function doPaymentRequest() {
  const request = new PaymentRequest(supportedInstruments, details, options);
  // Add event listeners here.
  // Call show() to trigger the browser's payment flow.
  const response = await request.show();
  // Process payment.
  const json = response.toJSON();
  const httpResponse = await fetch("/pay/", { method: "POST", body: json });
  const result = httpResponse.ok ? "success" : "failure";

  await response.complete(result);
}
doPaymentRequest();

Once the payment flow has been triggered using PaymentRequest.show() and the promise resolves successfully, the PaymentResponse object available inside the fulfilled promise (instrumentResponse above) will have a PaymentResponse.details property that will contain response details. This has to conform to the structure defined by the BasicCardResponse dictionary, and may look something like this:

{
  "cardNumber' : '9999999999999999",
  "cardholderName' : 'Pat Straw",
  "cardSecurityCode" : "999",
  "expiryMonth" : "07",
  "expiryYear" : "2021",
  "billingAddress" : {
    "country" : "GB",
    // etc. billing address is a PaymentAddress object
  }
}
