Credit card fields are special fields in iframes. Neither the FundraisingBox nor your server has direct access to the safety critical number and secure id. So these fields need a special treatment of handling and we recommend to use our jQuery-Plugin which does a lot of helpful automatic work for you.
Available now: PayPal credit card
From April 2, 2025, credit card payments is also possible via PayPal. This payment method must be activated in the FundraisingBox. Only one credit card payment can be activated.
If you have already activated credit card payments with Stripe or MicroPayment, you only need to adjust the HTML for the placeholders and hidden fields and add your style information as constructor options. Unlike Stripe, the field for credit card holders is also generated by PayPal.
Required fields
The plugin automatically loads the extra javascript if all required credit card fields with following IDs exist.
- payment_credit_card_owner
- payment_credit_card_number
- payment_credit_card_number_hidden
- payment_credit_card_secure_id
- payment_credit_card_secure_id_hidden
- payment_credit_card_token
Additional if micropayment is used:
- payment_credit_card_expire_date_month
- payment_credit_card_expire_date_year
Additional if Stripe is used:
- payment_credit_card_expiry
- payment_credit_card_expiry_hidden
- payment_credit_card_network
Additional if PayPal is used:
- payment_credit_card_expiry
- payment_credit_card_expiry_hidden
You have to use these IDs!

iframe-inputs
As you can see in the example above there is only an empty "payment_credit_card_number"-div, a "payment_credit_card_secure_id"-div, a "payment_credit_card_expiry"-div and, for PayPal, "payment_credit_card_secure_name"-div. Our plugin injects automatically the iframe-inputs into these divs.
Styling
Styling Stripe and MicroPayment
As you don't have direct access to the inputs in the iframe, you have to style the surrounding divs e.g. "#payment_credit_card_number" like they were inputs.
creditCardFieldTemplate-Option
You can provide a "template" for the iframe-inputs, in general we recommend to use the "credit_card_owner"-field. If a template is given, our plugin sets the border to "0", the width to "100%" and the background to "none" of the iframe-inputs. It also copies the height and the font-styles of the template to the iframe-inputs.
This automatic style propagation takes place on window resize as well.
By default the template is set to "payment_credit_card_owner".
myForm = $("#form").fundraisingBoxForm({
hash: "{your_form_hash}",
creditCardFieldTemplate: "payment_credit_card_owner"
});
Custom fonts
For security reasons custom fonts are not possible in the iframe-inputs.
If you want to style the iframe-inputs directly, you can use the "creditCardStyle()"-function (see Functions). But we do not recommend this.
Recommendation
Use the "creditCardCopyStyleFromTemplate()"-function (see Functions) when you toggle your credit card fieldset to ensure the correct stylings.
Focus
It's a good manner to highlight the currently focused field, but highlighting the iframe-inputs is not easily possible. So our plugin sets a "focus"-class to the "payment_credit_card_number"-div, "payment_credit_card_secure_id"-div and "payment_credit_card_expiry"-div if the respective iframe-input is focused.
You can now consider this class for your design.
Our plugin considers the other way around as well: if a label is clicked, the respective iframe-input is focused.
Styling PayPal
Add constructor options to your form in the function fundraisingBoxForm for your custom input style:
myForm = $('#form').fundraisingBoxForm({
...
paypalCreditCardFieldStyles: {
'border': '0.0625rem solid #909697',
'border-radius': '0.25rem',
'background': '#ffffff',
'font-family': 'inherit',
'font-size': '1rem',
'line-height': '1.5rem',
'padding': '1px 2px',
},
paypalCreditCardFieldInvalidStyles: {
'border': '0.0625rem solid purple',
'color': 'purple',
},
});`
See the complete list of allowed style options for PayPal cardFields: https://developer.paypal.com/sdk/js/reference/#style-card-fields
Create token
If the option "autoSubmit" is active (default) the plugin automatically call the "creditCardMakeToken()"-function (see Functions and trys to create the credit card token before sending the data to the payment session. If you disable autoSubmit you have to call the "creditCardMakeToken()" by yourself.
Readonly "Hidden"-fields
After creating the credit card token, the credit card data is returned in an obfuscated format and set as the value of hidden input fields.
For Stripe and Micropayment, the card number is masked except for the last four digits. For example, 1234123412341234 will be returned as ************1234.
For PayPal, the entire card number is masked with asterisks: ****************.
The secure ID (CVV) is always fully masked as ***.
If a session contains a credit_card_token, the following wrapper elements will be hidden:
payment_credit_card_number_wrapper
payment_credit_card_secure_id_wrapper
payment_credit_card_expiry_wrapper
To display the obfuscated credit card data to the user, use the input fields of the hidden fields:
payment_credit_card_number_hidden
payment_credit_card_secure_id_hidden
payment_credit_card_expiry_hidden
These hidden fields should be readonly.
Reset and Reinitialization
The function "creditCardReset()" will reset the token, show the wrapper elements and render the iframe-inputs and hides the "_hidden"-fields.
myForm.creditCardReset();
