Client-side events

In order to provide a better customer experience you can listen to custom client-side events and take appropriate action. All events are dispatched using the global document object as target and cannot be cancelled and does not bubble.

Please Note

Do not rely on client-side events for business critical functionality. Use the api to retrieve information. For example:

  1. Instead of relying only on walleyCheckoutPurchaseCompleted, listen for the Completed Purchase callback.
  2. When receiving a walleyCheckoutCustomerUpdated, get checkout information of what has been updated.

Javascript examples​

// Start listening to the customer updated event
document.addEventListener("walleyCheckoutCustomerUpdated", listener);

// Start listening to the locked event
document.addEventListener("walleyCheckoutLocked", listener);

// Start listening to the unlocked event
document.addEventListener("walleyCheckoutUnlocked", listener);

// Start listening to the resumed event
document.addEventListener("walleyCheckoutResumed", listener);

// Start listening to the purchase completed event
document.addEventListener("walleyCheckoutPurchaseCompleted", listener);

// Start listening to the shipping updated event
document.addEventListener("walleyCheckoutShippingUpdated", listener);

// Start listening to the CRM updated event
document.addEventListener("walleyCheckoutCrmUpdated", listener);
