Because the PaymentUIComponents exist inside an elements.io hosted iframe, the only way to communicate with your PaymentUIComponents is by listening to an event. PaymentUIComponents might emit any of the events below. All events have a payload object that has an elementType property with the type of the PaymentUIComponents that emitted the event.
cardComponent.on('change', function(event) {
// handle event here
});
{
brand: ‘visa’,
componentType: ‘card’,
empty: false,
valid: true,
potentiallyValid: true
}
