      • Exclude any separators or currency symbols.

    • Examples:

      • A payment amount of $100 should be conveyed as 10000, where the trailing two digits represent cents.

      • Conversely, $1.01 is represented as 101.

  2. Description:

    • Description: Provides contextual information detailing the purpose or reason behind the payment. It could relate to the product/service name, a brief summary, or any relevant description the merchant deems necessary.

  3. Currency Code

  4. Activity

    • Description: The current activity. Payment page is started as a new activity. In order to start payment activity Embed SDK needs the current acitivity of the app.

  5. RFU Map

  6. TransactionResultListener:

    • Description: This interface is vital as it captures and manages transaction outcomes, be it success or failure scenarios.

Usage: To implement the doSale function in your application, ensure you're capturing the correct parameters, especially the format for the "Amount" and supplementing the necessary information in the "Description."

By adhering to these guidelines, you enable a precise and seamless transaction process, elevating the user experience within your application.

PayContactlessEmbed.getInstance().doSale(@NonNull String amount, @Nullable String description, @Nullable String currencyCode, @NonNull FragmentActivity activity, @Nullable Map<String, String> rfuMap, @NonNull TransactionResultListener listener)

Please set empty map value for rfuMap instead of null on SDK version 3.4.11. This issue will be fixed with the next version.

If currency parameter is set null, the default currency is used for transaction. The default currecny is Naira in SDK.

When a transaction is completed, the TransactionResult class is received on onCompleted method, these class fields can be used for the payment result screens.
