Fraud Webview Integrations

Overview

For apps that incorporate hybrid or mobile browsers, Forter offers a webview integration solution. As part of the webview integration, please make sure to also include the Forter JavaScript for webview/browser-based components of your app. Your specific Forter JS snippet can be found in your Forter portal. The Webview integration solution places the mobileUid in a global JS variable that is later collected by the Forter javaScript script.

WKWebview

Forter will provide a specific script that will be executed AFTER the WKWebView is initiated. For the official developer documentation on iOS WKWebView embedding and best practices, click (here)https://developer.apple.com/documentation/webkit/wkwebview

HYBRID APPS WITH WEB BROWSER CHECKOUT PAGE

In the case of Hybrid apps where the checkout page is a web browser, both the SDK webview method should be called AND the Forter JavaScript snippet should be placed in your web page's HTML. In cases of webview or web-based checkout pages, the backend API request should have orderType of the request body should have an "WEB" and NOT mobile so that Forter data models understand that the order was placed on a mobile WEB browser and not a native mobile screen.

Example Webview Order Request

Note the orderType is WEB and the request populates the forterTokenCookie field instead of the forterMobileUID

{
  "orderType": "WEB",
  "eventTime": 1648651702558,
  "connectionInformation": {
    "customerIP": "12.182.159.90.51072",
    "forterTokenCookie": "30867f63af3542cb97881066f290bd", // generated by the Forter JS script NOT the SDK
    "userAgent": "teststore/21.1211 CFNetwork/1329 Darwin/21.3.0"
  },
