Consumer Authentication
Choose an Integration Approach
By now, you should have completed the Getting Started section to incorporate the baseline integration of our Cardinal Cruise JavaScript. The next step is to choose an integration approach for CCA.
Cardinal Cruise Standard
The Cardinal Cruise Standard integration is purely a JavaScript approach that is all encompassing. When enabling this approach for CCA, this integration will handle the device data collection, initiating the transaction for CCA, presenting the authentication session if required, and returning the results of authentication once completed. This is a simple and easy approach is our recommended integration approach for CCA.
Cardinal Cruise Hybrid
The Cardinal Cruise Hybrid integration decouples the integration to allow a merchant more flexibility and control based on the number of their systems involved. The Cardinal Cruise Hybrid integration uses Songbird.js for device data collection, will require a backend server-to-server API call to initiate the transaction (if an authentication session is required), then feed the API results into Songbird.js for rendering the authentication session. This approach is typically recommended for customers who have already integrated to our API calls and want to upgrade to our Cardinal Cruise solution, have different layers in their payment processing infrastructure, or who use tokenization on the front end.
