With these payment methods, buyers will be able to make a deferred cash payment, always within the established deadline for its due date, and they will need to wait for it to be credited to consider the purchase completed.

<form id="form-checkout" action="/process_payment" method="post"> <div> <div> <label for="payerFirstName">Nombre</label> <input id="form-checkout__payerFirstName" name="payerFirstName" type="text"> </div> <div> <label for="payerLastName">Appelido</label> <input id="form-checkout__payerLastName" name="payerLastName" type="text"> </div> <div> <label for="email">E-mail</label> <input id="form-checkout__email" name="email" type="text"> </div> <div> <label for="identificationType">Tipo de documento</label> <select id="form-checkout__identificationType" name="identificationType" type="text"></select> </div> <div> <label for="identificationNumber">Número del documento</label> <input id="form-checkout__identificationNumber" name="identificationNumber" type="text"> </div> </div> <div> <div> <input type="hidden" name="transactionAmount" id="transactionAmount" value="100"> <input type="hidden" name="description" id="description" value="Nome do Produto"> <br> <button type="submit">Pagar</button> </div> </div> </form>
To facilitate the correct entry of data in the payment form, it is necessary to obtain the possible document types to be accepted.
The function below will allow you to automatically populate the available options, thanks to the inclusion of the select
element with the id: form-checkout__identificationType
found in the form used as an example in the previous step.
If you already have a development that includes the retrieval of document types, as indicated below, proceed to the Submit payment step.
If you do not have this function, add the following to your project.
javascript
function createSelectOptions(elem, options, labelsAndKeys = { label : "name", value : "id"}){ const {label, value} = labelsAndKeys; elem.options.length = 0; const tempOptions = document.createDocumentFragment(); options.forEach( option => { const optValue = option[value]; const optLabel = option[label]; const opt = document.createElement('option'); opt.value = optValue; opt.textContent = optLabel; tempOptions.appendChild(opt); }); elem.appendChild(tempOptions); } // Get Identification Types (async function getIdentificationTypes () { try { const identificationTypes = await mp.getIdentificationTypes(); const docTypeElement = document.getElementById('docType'); createSelectOptions(docTypeElement, identificationTypes) }catch(e) { return console.error('Error getting identificationTypes: ', e); } })()
