Advanced Customization
Using custom CSS, font, and text options with the Payment iFrame.
This section discusses customization options for developers who want more control over the look and feel of the Payment iFrame, for example, integrating with an existing form to handle a payment via Bluefin.
Note that using the following options will override some of the previous ones. For example, specifying a Font Family would be overridden by specifying a custom font and including it in the Custom CSS options.
The same would be true for specifying Card Number Label Override Options and then Custom Text Options - the Custom Text Options would take precedence.
The resulting iFrame will have a structure as outlined in the image below. Merchants can configure the CSS for any of the HTML elements via the IDs (in black) or the classes (in red). Note: the actual HTML will change based on other configuration options (CVV can be omitted and expiry can be dropdown) but the ID and class names will be inline with this example.
CSS Options
It is possible to style the iFrame to match the form it is being embedded into. A subset of the entire range of CSS properties is available to apply to the iFrame controls to achieve this.
The following table displays the selectors of the iFrame's controls that are available for styling.

Font Options font
font
It is possible to use custom fonts in the iFrame. Files' paths can be referenced and their family names included in custom CSS.
The actual name of the parameter as indicated does not have to be in the format shown, but it does have to be unique from other parameter names. Should two parameters be given the same value, only one would be used.
Both file and family must be specified for the custom font to be added to the page. In short, enter the file name of the font file and also provide the font-family.
For PCI compliance, only fonts hosted on Bluefin's server can be allowed. For security reasons, the font file will be added by Bluefin to the Bluefin server for inclusion on the iFrame. This will have to be in place before it can be referenced in the iFrame's custom CSS.
Currently, only the following font file formats are supported
- otf
- woff2
- woff
- ttf
Please note that the display of different font file types is dependent on browser type.
Parameter | Description | Options |
---|---|---|
font_1, font_2, font_n | Identifier for an individually referenced font. | file, family |
Option | Description |
---|---|
file | Name of font file, e.g., my-font.ttf / new-font.woff2 (display of font types is browser dependent). |
family | Family name of the font - this can then be used in the custom css. |
<div id="iframe_container"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
new PaymentiFrame({
create: true,
iframeId: "payment_iframe",
settings: {
account : "XXXXXXXXXXXX",
parentId : "iframe_container",
//devServer : "https://cert.payconex.net", //uncomment in dev
css : {
id_body : "font-family:'My ProximaNova',sans-serif;",
id_timeout_header : "font-family:'My ProximaNova bold',sans-serif;",
},
font : {
font_1 : {
file : "ProximaNova-Reg-webfont.woff",

Custom Text Options text
text
The following table outlines the possible inclusion of custom text values for the iFrame's input fields. If an option is not specified it will render the default value. If an option is specified with a blank value, it will render no text. In the case of the expiry options (expy_single, expy_double, expy_single_dropdown, expy_double_dropdown) if more than one option is specified, the first option in the list will be selected and rendered.
Specification of the payment_method parameter will determine which text values will be rendered. If a text value is specified for a payment method that is not in use, the text will be ignored.
With expi_single, expy_double, expy_single_dropdown, and expy_double_dropdown along with the other parameters, the relative expiry fields style will be applied.
Using multiple "expy" parameters in the text options is possible but only the first style/layout, will be applied to the iFrame.
Expy parameter overrides the rendering type of expy field passed to custom text parameter.
Parameter | Description | Options | Payment method |
---|---|---|---|
number | Custom text for the credit card number input & label. | label ,placeholder | cc |
cvv | Custom text for the cvv number input & label. | label ,placeholder | cc |
