React Native Klarna In-App SDK

This library wraps Klarna's In-App SDK and exposes its functionality as React Native components. It currently supports Klarna Payments via a Payment View component.

This repository also includes a test application that you can use to see how it works.

Looking for the pure native Klarna In-App SDK? Check out the Klarna In-App SDK repo instead.

Requirements

• iOS 10 or later.
• Android 4.4 or later.

Klarna In-App SDK documentation

Overview of the SDK

What Does React Native Klarna In-App SDK Offer?

This library allows React Native apps to add views with Klarna content to their app. We currently support Klarna Payments, allowing you to add payment views to your checkout and authorizing a session to create an order natively.

Why should you use the SDK?

The SDK removes any possible friction in your app's checkout flow by leveraging native functionality in iOS and Android. Some of the things the SDK does are:

• Plays nicely with 3rd-party apps. Many customers complete their purchase through their banking application or other 3rd-party apps. We make this experience seamless not just by opening these apps, but returning your users automatically when they’re done.
• Safeguards your users' identity. The SDK adds an extra layer of security lowering the risk of fraudulent purchases. It also insures that your customer doesn’t have to write in any redundant info. (e.g. address or credentials) on successive purchases.
• Improves 3D Secure flow. If certain payment methods require opening banking pages, we’ll display an in-app browser. Your customer can safely authenticate with their bank without ever leaving your app.
• Open links without making your customers leave your app. As with 3D Secure, we open most resources in an in-app browser or a fullscreen overlay. This insures that your customer doesn’t ever have to leave your app.

Getting started

$ npm install react-native-klarna-inapp-sdk --save

Mostly automatic installation

$ react-native link react-native-klarna-inapp-sdk

Manual installation

iOS

We strongly encourage you to use CocoaPods to manage the library and follow the instructions below to add the SDK as a dependency to the React Native app. If you add the SDK to CocoaPods elsewhere in the application it may cause the SDK to not be visible to the library.

1. After running $ npm install react-native-klarna-inapp-sdk --save go to [your project]/ios folder.
2. Make sure you have a Podfile ready, if not use pod init. Check that platform :ios, ‘10.0’.
3. Go to [your project]/node_modules/react-native-klarna-inapp-sdk/react-native-klarna-inapp-sdk.podspec and make sure that s.dependency ‘KlarnaMobileSDK’, ’~> 2.0.12 and s.platform = :ios, “10.0”.
4. Add react-native-klarna-inapp-sdk as a dependency to your podfile ([your project]/ios folder)  pod ‘react-native-klarna-inapp-sdk’, :podspec => ‘../node_modules/react-native-klarna-inapp-sdk/react-native-klarna-inapp-sdk.podspec’.
5. Go back to [your project]/ios and run pod install.

Note: If you encounter the build failure error Library not loaded: @rpath/libswiftCore.dylib, then you might need to create a Swift Bridging Header. to do so, please follow the steps below:

• In XCode, create a new .swift file in the project.
• A prompt window would ask you if you want to configure the Bridging Header, choose yes.
• Clean the project and DerivedData.
• Build the project.

Android

1. Open up android/app/src/main/java/[...]/MainApplication.java

• Add import com.klarna.inapp.sdk.KlarnaPaymentViewPackage; to the imports at the top of the file
• Add new KlarnaPaymentViewPackage() to the list returned by the getPackages() method

1. Append the following lines to android/settings.gradle:

   include ':react-native-klarna-inapp-sdk'
   project(':react-native-klarna-inapp-sdk').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir, 	'../node_modules/react-native-klarna-inapp-sdk/android')
   

2. Insert the following lines inside the dependencies block in android/app/build.gradle:

   implementation project(':react-native-klarna-inapp-sdk')
   

Note: If you encounter any build failure errors regarding the androidx.annotations package missing, you should enable react-native-jetifier in the gradle.properties file inside your project. See how to enable this here.

Warning regarding Android integration

Both the iOS and Android integrations depend on the native SDK.

We've experienced issues with React Native 59 and above where 3rd party Gradle repositories won't be recognized in the Android project's build.gradle. To address this, you'll need to add a reference to the repository in your own app's build.gradle.

You can do it by adding the lines between the comments below:

allprojects {
    repositories {
        mavenLocal()
        maven {
            // All of React Native (JS, Obj-C sources, Android binaries) is installed from npm
            url("$rootDir/../node_modules/react-native/android")
        }
        maven {
            // Android JSC is installed from npm
            url("$rootDir/../node_modules/jsc-android/dist")
        }
        google()
        mavenCentral {
            // We don't want to fetch react-native from Maven Central as there are
            // older versions over there.
            content {
                excludeGroup "com.facebook.react"
            }
        }
        // Add the lines below vvv
        maven {
            url 'https://x.klarnacdn.net/mobile-sdk/'
        }
        // Add the lines above ^^^
    }
}

Usage

You can import the KlarnaPaymentView from the library. You'll then be able to add it as a component to your app. This component exposes callbacks as props and methods you can call via the compoent's ref.

The view will self-size height-wise and grow it fill it containing view's width.

Props

It has the following props:

Name	Type	Description
category	String	The payment method category you want to render in your view.
onInitialized	() => {}	The initialize call succeeded.
onLoaded	() => {}	The load call succeeded.
onLoadedPaymentReview	() => {}	The load payment review call succeeded.
onAuthorized	({}) => {}	The authorize call succeeded.
onReauthorized	({}) => {}	The reauthorize call succeeded.
onFinalized	({}) => {}	The finalize call succeeded.
onError	({}) => {}	An error occurred.

---

---

Prop callback parameters

The onAuthorized, onReauthorized, onFinalized and onError will provide an object (via nativeEvent) with the following parameters:

---

authorized: Boolean

Determines whether the previous operation was successful and yielded an authorization token.

Available on:

• onAuthorized
• onReauthorized
• onFinalized

---

authToken: String / undefined

If authorize(), reauthorize() or finalize() succeeded, they will return a token you can submit to your backend.

Available on:

• onAuthorized
• onReauthorized
• onFinalized

---

finalizeRequired: Boolean / undefined

If authorize() requires that you additionally call finalize(), .

Available on:

• onAuthorized

---

error: Object / undefined

If a method failed, onError() will let you know via an error object.

Available on:

• onError

---

---

View methods

Each payment view exposes a set of methods via a view's ref. You can see in the test app or in the below example how these can be called. The methods are the following:

---

initialize()

Initializes the view with a session token. You have to have added the view to your application and supplied a payment method category.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
sessionToken	String	The session token you get from Klarna.
returnUrl	String	An app-defined URL scheme the component uses to return customers to your app.

Return URL

You can read more about how the return URL works and how to add it tou your iOS application here and for your Android application here.

---

load()

Loads the view. This will render content in the view.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
sessionData	String / undefined	A JSON object with updated session data serialized into a string.

---

loadPaymentReview()

Renders a description of the payment terms your customer has agreed to.

Once a session is authorized, you can then either render a payment review in the existing payment view or initialize() a new payment view with the same session token and call this method.

Note:

This only works with specific payment methods and countries.

---

authorize()

Authorizes the payment session.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
autoFinalize	Boolean / undefined	A flag used to turn on/off auto-finalization for direct bank transfer.
sessionData	String / undefined	A JSON object with updated session data serialized into a string.

---

reauthorize()

If the details of the session (e.g. cart contents, customer data) have changed, call this to update the session and get a new authorization token.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
sessionData	String / undefined	A JSON object with updated session data serialized into a string.

---

finalize()

If a specific payment method needs you to trigger a second authorization, call finalize when you're ready.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
sessionData	String / undefined	A JSON object with updated session data serialized into a string.

Example

In addition to the test app in /TestApp, the you can see an abridged version below.

import KlarnaPaymentView from 'react-native-klarna-inapp-sdk';

class MyCheckoutView extends React.Component {

    constructor(props) {
        super(props);
        this.state = {
            paymentViewLoaded: false
        };
    }

    componentDidMount() {
        // To initialize the component, you'll need call the component's initialize method with your
        // backend's session token and a return URL for your application. 
        // 
        // This should occur at some point when the payment view is added to your application's view, 
        // but it should only be repeated if initialization fails.
        this.refs['my_ref'].initialize('my_session_token', 'my_apps_return_url')
    }

    onInitialized = () => {
        // Once the view is initialized, you can render content into it.
        this.refs['my_ref'].load()
    }

    onLoaded = () => {
        // Once the view is loaded, the user should be able to see the payment method. They can then
        // choose to use it (it's up to you to determine how that is recognized) and tap a "buy-like"
        // button.
        this.setState({paymentViewLoaded: true})
    }

    buyButtonPressed = () => {
        // When the button is tapped, call authorize() on the view.
        this.refs['my_ref'].authorize()
    }

    onAuthorized = (event) => {
        // If successfully authorized, the authorization token can be used by your backend to create
        // an order. 
        // 
        // You can also load a payment review view to allow the user to evaluate their
        // payment choice. 
        let params = event.nativeEvent

        if (params.authorized) {
            submitAuthToken(params.authToken)
        }
    }

    render() {
        return(
            // Other parts of the view
            // ...
            // The payment view
            <KlarnaPaymentView
                category={'pay_later'}
                ref={'my_ref'}
                onInitialized={this.onInitialized}
                onLoaded={this.onLoaded}
                onAuthorized={this.onAuthorized} />
            // ...
            // Your buy button
            <Button 
                disabled={!this.state.paymentViewLoaded}
                onPress={this.buyButtonPressed} />
        );
    }
}
