🔧 Implémentation technique

Architecture BNPL

Frontend:
  ├─ Panier visible "3x sans frais"
  ├─ Widget paiement BNPL prominently
  ├─ Simulation mensuelle (Optional)
  └─ Checkout

Backend:
  ├─ BNPL API call
  ├─ Approval/rejection handling
  ├─ Order creation upon approval
  └─ Webhook für payment status

Step 1: Integration Alma (Shopify)

// 1. Install Alma app from Shopify App Store
// 2. Get API credentials from Alma dashboard
// 3. Enable in Shopify Payments

// Alma handles checkout automatically
// No custom code needed for Shopify
// Alma button appears in payment methods

// Custom theme integration (if needed)
const almaScript = `
  <script src="https://cdn.alma.js"></script>
  <script>
    window.Alma.init({
      key: 'API_KEY_HERE'
    });

    // Display eligibility widget
    Alma.Widgets.mount('#payment-widget');
  </script>
`;

Step 2: Integration Klarna (Custom)

// 1. Get API keys from Klarna dashboard
// 2. Implement Klarna Checkout (hosted)

// Backend
app.post('/create-klarna-order', async (req, res) => {
  const klarnaClient = new KlarnaAPI({
    username: process.env.KLARNA_USER,
    password: process.env.KLARNA_PASS,
    baseURL: 'https://api.klarna.com'
  });

  const order = await klarnaClient.ordersApi.createOrder({
    purchase_country: 'FR',
    purchase_currency: 'EUR',
    locale: 'fr-FR',
    order_amount: 15000, // 150€ in cents
    order_lines: [
      {
        type: 'physical',
        name: 'Product Name',
        quantity: 1,
        unit_price: 15000
      }
    ],
    customer: {
      email: 'customer@example.com'
    },
    merchant_urls: {
      confirmation: 'https://example.com/confirmation',
      notification: 'https://example.com/webhook'
    }
  });

  // Redirect to Klarna Checkout
  res.json({ redirect_url: order.redirect_url });
});

// Frontend
const handleKlarnaPayment = async () => {
  const response = await fetch('/create-klarna-order', {
    method: 'POST',
    body: JSON.stringify(cartData)
  });
  window.location.href = response.redirect_url;
};

Step 3: Display eligibility messaging

// Calculate & show payment plans prominently
const displayPaymentOptions = (price) => {
  const plans = {
    alma_3x: {
      name: '3x sans frais',
      monthly: Math.ceil(price / 3),
      fee: 0
    },
    alma_4x: {
      name: '4x sans frais',
      monthly: Math.ceil(price / 4),
      fee: 0
    },
    klarna_6x: {
      name: '6 mois',
      monthly: Math.ceil(price / 6),
      fee: 0
    }
  };

  return (
    <div className="payment-options">
      {Object.entries(plans).map(([key, plan]) => (
        <div key={key} className="plan">
          <p>{plan.name}</p>
          <p className="price">{plan.monthly}€/mois</p>
        </div>
      ))}
    </div>
  );
};

Step 4: Webhook handling

// Alma webhook
app.post('/webhooks/alma', express.raw({type: 'application/json'}), (req, res) => {
  const signature = req.headers['x-alma-signature'];

  // Verify signature
  const isValid = verifyAlmaSignature(req.body, signature);
  if (!isValid) return res.status(401).end();

  const event = JSON.parse(req.body);

  if (event.event === 'payment.authorized') {
    // Mark order as paid
    updateOrderStatus(event.order_id, 'paid');
    // Trigger fulfillment
    triggerFulfillment(event.order_id);
  }

  res.status(200).end();
});

// Klarna webhook
app.post('/webhooks/klarna', (req, res) => {
  const {event_type, order_id} = req.body;

  if (event_type === 'order.captured') {
    updateOrderStatus(order_id, 'captured');
  } else if (event_type === 'order.cancelled') {
    updateOrderStatus(order_id, 'cancelled');
  }

  res.status(200).end();
});
