TEMPORARILY SHUT DOWN
Bouncer has been acquired by Stripe! As a result, this library will be non-functional while we transition our network endpoints to Stripe infrastructure. We expect to have the transition completed by the end of Q3 2021.
Requirements
TensorFlowJS script tag
Bouncer SDK script tag
Demo
A demo checkout page is available at https://cardscan-web.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/index.html​
SDK Size
We try to keep our SDK as small as possible while maintaining good performance.

Installation
Bouncer CardScan can be included in your web app either by script imports or as an NPM package.
Script imports
In your HTML, add the following script tags
1
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@tensorflow/[email protected]/dist/tf.min.js"></script>
2
<script src="https://cardscan-web.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/bouncer_cardscan.bundle.js"></script>
Copied!
Importing these scripts expose a global JavaScript variable bouncerCardScan.
NPM Package
Bouncer CardScan is available at https://www.npmjs.com/package/web-cardscan. To add this to your project, run the following in your terminal:
1
$ npm i --save web-cardscan
Copied!
To access bouncer cardscan, use the following import:
1
import * as bouncerCardScan from "web-cardscan";
Copied!
Using
First, add the Bouncer modal to your page's DOM by calling the setUpScan method once your page's DOM has completed loading:
1
window.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', bouncerCardScan.setUpScan);
Copied!
Once you're ready to scan, call the BouncerCardScan.scanCard method and provide callback methods for the success and canceled cases. API keys can be created through the Bouncer API console.
Example
First, check to make sure that CardScan is supported on the user's browser with the following call:
1
const isBouncerScanSupported = bouncerCardScan.isSupported();
Copied!
The following javascript will launch the Bouncer CardScan modal and collect the results.
1
const onCardScanComplete = function(
2
    number,
3
    cardholderName,
4
    expiryMonth,
5
    expiryYear,
6
    verificationResult
7
) {
8
    // The user scanned a card
9
}
10
​
11
const onCardScanCanceled = function() {
12
    // the user closed the scan modal without scanning a card
13
}
14
​
15
const onScanError = function(error) {
16
    // An error occurred during the scan. return true to stop the scan, false to attempt to continue scanning.
17
}
18
​
19
function launchCardScan() {
20
    bouncerCardScan.scanCard("<your_api_key_here>", onCardScanComplete, onCardScanCanceled, onScanError);
21
}
Copied!
The verificationResult parameter can be used to determine the legitimacy of the card scanned. See Verifying High Risk Cards for more information.
Localization
This library supports full string localization. Strings are stored in the BouncerConfiguration object, accessible via bouncerCardScan.getConfig().localize(). The following strings are available for localization:
Variable
Default Value
instructionsLoading
Loading...
instructionsScan
Scan Your Card
instructionsReading
Reading card...
instructionsCapturing
Almost done...
instructionsProcessing
Processing...
instructionsWrongCard
Wrong card!
instructionsTroubleScanning
We're having trouble scanning this card
securityNotification
Your card info is secure
networkError
Network Error
cardDetails
{issuer} {iin} **** {lastFour}
cannotScan
I can't scan this card
For example, to change the text for the instructions, set the value of instructionsScanString before starting the scan.
1
// localize the instructions to Spanish
2
bouncerCardScan.getConfig().localize({
3
    instructionsLoading: "Cargando...",
4
    instructionsScan: "Escanea tu tarjeta",
5
    cannotScan: "No puedo escanear esta tarjeta"
6
});
7
​
8
// At some point later, launch the CardScan modal
9
bouncerCardScan.scanCard(...)
Copied!
Strings which are not defined in the configuration are left at their previous value. For example, you could call localize multiple times:
1
// localize some strings
2
bouncerCardScan.getConfig().localize({
3
    instructionsLoading: "Cargando...",
4
    instructionsScan: "Escanea tu tarjeta"
5
});
6
​
7
// localize more strings
8
bouncerCardScan.getConfig().localize({
9
    cannotScan: "No puedo escanear esta tarjeta"
10
});
11
​
12
// At some point later, launch the CardScan modal
13
bouncerCardScan.scanCard(...)
Copied!
To disable a string (make it not appear in the scanner), set the value to null or "".
1
// localize some strings
2
bouncerCardScan.getConfig().localize({
3
    instructionsLoading: null,
4
    instructionsScan: ""
5
});
Copied!
