Customizing the Extra_Card_Data intent

We have a payment solution for the restaurants. For the restaurant server to sign in to our app they typically use server cards that have the login information on track2 of their cards.

We are using Intents.EXTRA_CARD_DATA to get the track2 data which is working fine.

But at the top of the screen (where they swipe the card) it displays a dollar amount of 0.00. Is there any way to get rid of that and replace it with custom text? That number does not make sense in this context and we would like to make it more intuitive for the servers.

Hi @mseth,

Yes, You can put the extra EXTRA_CARD_DATA_MESSAGE in your intent with a String of the message you want to display. It will replace the 0.00 that you saw on the screen. See: https://clover.github.io/clover-android-sdk/com/cl...

Here is sample code of what it should look like: 
Intent intent = new Intent(Intents.ACTION_SECURE_CARD_DATA);
intent.putExtra(Intents.EXTRA_TRANSACTION_TYPE, Intents.TRANSACTION_TYPE_CARD_DATA);
intent.putExtra(Intents.EXTRA_CARD_DATA_MESSAGE, "PLEASE SWIPE SERVER CARD");

startActivityForResult(intent, SECURE_CARD_DATA_RESPONSE_CODE);

Hope that helps,

Raymond
