default: true
displayPayButton boolean
default: true
displayQRCode boolean
default: true


Methods

Arguments:

  • el: DOM element or CSS selector.

Example: paymentComponent.mount(“#volt-payment-component”);


Events

change Triggered when the user’s input is changed; complete flag indicates the user data completeness. It should be used to control the external pay button state:
