Checkout.com Risk SDK

BR-DGE support the use of the Checkout.com Risk SDK, allowing you to send a deviceSessionId to Checkout through our REST API. By embedding the Risk.js SDK into your payment page, Checkout.com can collect information about your customer's device, which is then used to drive decision making in the Checkout.com risk engine.

BR-DGE currently support sending a Checkout.com deviceSessionId when making a payment request to the BR-DGE REST API on our /v1/payments/ endpoint all other endpoints do not support this feature.

How to use the Checkout.com Risk SDK with BR-DGE

⚠️

You may need to contact your Checkout.com account manager, or [email protected] to enable access to the Risk SDK.

• Embed the Risk SDK into your payment page following the guide from Checkout.com: Integrating Risk.js

• Capture the deviceSessionId from your payment page as described in Step 4 of the Checkout.com guide, and pass this to your backend server.

• Send the deviceSessionId to BR-DGE as part of your payment request to our /v1/payments/ endpoint

...
  "riskInstruments": {
    "checkoutRiskJs": {
      "deviceSessionId": "dsid_ipsmclhxwq72phhr32iwfvrflm"
    }
  }
...

• BR-DGE will then pass this value to Checkout.com as part of the payment request.

• Checkout will associate the deviceSessionId with the payment request, and use the captured data to enrich the request in their system.

Additional Information.

The Checkout Risk SDK can only be used to generate a deviceSessionId for payments that are routed to Checkout.com. If you are not routing payments to Checkout.com you do not need to integrate this functionality.

BR-DGE will not send the Risk SDK deviceSessionId to any Payment Service Providers (PSP) other than Checkout.com, even if you provide it as part of your payment request.
