# Mobile SDK Overview

## Overview

Coinflow publishes first-party SDKs for **Swift**, **Android (Kotlin)**, **Flutter**, and **React Native** that embed the card tokenization form directly into native mobile apps. Every SDK renders the same PCI-compliant card form used on the web, surfaces a single `tokenize()` call, and returns a payment token your backend can charge.

Use a mobile SDK when you want the card entry experience to stay inside your app — no redirect out to a browser, no WebView wiring you have to maintain yourself.

## When to use a mobile SDK

#### Mobile SDK (embedded)

Renders the card form directly inside your app. You control the surrounding UI and the moment tokenization happens.

**Best for:**

* Apps that need full control over checkout UI/UX
* Subscription sign-up, card-on-file capture, replacing a saved card
* Tokenization flows where you charge later server-side

[View the Swift, Android, and Flutter guides below](#available-sdks)

#### Browser redirect

Generates a hosted checkout URL and opens it in the user's browser. No frontend code required.

**Best for:**

* The simplest possible integration
* Apps that already use universal links / deep links for return flows
* One-time purchase flows where leaving the app is acceptable

## What the SDK does

1. Renders the Coinflow card form inside a native view.
2. Captures the card data inside Coinflow's PCI scope — sensitive data never touches your app code.
3. Exposes a single `tokenize()` call you invoke when the user taps your Pay button.
4. Returns a `TokenizeResponse` containing the payment `token` (and optionally `expMonth` / `expYear`).
5. You forward that token to your backend, which calls Coinflow's checkout API to charge the card.

> **Info**
>
> The SDK only handles **card capture and tokenization**. The actual charge happens server-side via the standard Coinflow checkout API using the returned token.

## Common concepts

### Merchant ID

Every SDK takes a `merchantId` string. This is issued by Coinflow when you sign up and is visible in the merchant dashboard. The same value works for both sandbox and production.

> **Info**
>
> `your-merchant-id` is an **example placeholder**. Contact the Coinflow integrations team or check the merchant dashboard for your actual merchant ID before going live.

### Environment

Every SDK takes an `env` enum that selects which Coinflow backend the form talks to:

* **Sandbox** — test cards, no real money. Use during integration and QA.
* **Prod** — live cards, real money.

### Variants

Each SDK exposes three form variants:

| Variant          | Captures            | Use case                                                             |
| ---------------- | ------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `cardForm`       | Number, expiry, CVV | Standard one-shot card entry                                         |
| `cardNumberForm` | Number + expiry     | Step 1 of a two-step flow; returns a token used later with `cvvForm` |
| `cvvForm`        | CVV only            | Re-collecting CVV for a saved card-on-file token                     |

### Theming

Each SDK accepts an optional `MerchantTheme` that styles the form to match your app — colors, fonts, input shape, and placeholder text. All fields are optional. See each platform's integration guide for the full field list.
