Developer Request: Listening to Payment Method During Checkout
Collecting votes
Currently it is not possible to listen to or detect the customer’s selected payment method within the realtime checkout flow. Developers would like access to a parameter or field in the realtime checkout data that clearly indicates which payment method was chosen. For example, recognize manual payment selection and display additional fees or discounts accordingly.
Having this parameter exposed in the realtime checkout payload or events would enable developers to:
- Implement plugins that react to the selected payment method during checkout.
- Dynamically apply additional fees or discounts based on the payment method.
- Update the order summary in real time (totals, taxes, fees) before the order is completed.
- Display tailored messages or UI changes according to the customer’s chosen payment option.
In the meantime you can approximate this behavior by handling fees that are relevant to specific payment methods outside the realtime checkout flow. For example, you can apply manual adjustments after the order is placed or define separate payment or order-handling rules in your business processes.
We are always working to update and improve our products, and your feedback is greatly appreciated.
