# Controllers Pre-Auth Integration

The code and diagrams below outline the necessary updates needed in order to integrate the Forter Cartridge into a Pre-Auth flow for a **Controllers-based SFCC storefront**.

## Update the COPlaceOrder.js

Add the following code to your existing `handlepayments (order) function` within your **COPlaceOrder.js** file:

```javascript
var argOrderValidate = {
                Order: order,
                orderValidateAttemptInput: 1
            },
            forterController = require('int_forter/cartridge/controllers/ForterValidate'),
            forterDecision   = forterController.ValidateOrder(argOrderValidate);
        // in case if no response from Forter, try the call one more time
        if (forterDecision.result === false && forterDecision.orderValidateAttemptInput == 2) {
        	var argOrderValidate = {
                    Order: order,
                    orderValidateAttemptInput: 2
                },
                forterController = require('int_forter/cartridge/controllers/ForterValidate'),
                forterDecision   = forterController.ValidateOrder(argOrderValidate);
        }
        
        if (forterDecision.JsonResponseOutput.processorAction == 'void') {
            if (!empty(forterDecision.PlaceOrderError)) {
                return {error : true, forterErrorCode : forterDecision.PlaceOrderError};
            } else {
                return {error : true};
            }
        }  
```

## Placement of `argOrderValidate`

The below screenshot and commented code below illustrate the recommended placement of the code within the `handlePaymentTransaction` function.
