Step 3: Embed the Legl payment button
Legl provides an embedded checkout that can be added to your website.
Contact the support team ([email protected]) to obtain your exact firm parameter to replace the firmname placeholder below.
Add the following code to your website:
(function(w,d,slug){
d.__proto__.cE = d.__proto__.createElement;
d.__proto__.qS = d.__proto__.querySelector;
var s = d.cE('script');
var l = d.cE("link");
var b = d.qS('body');
var url = 'https://firmname.legl.com/pay/';
l.setAttribute('type', 'text/css');
l.setAttribute('href', url+'embedded.css');
l.setAttribute('rel', 'stylesheet');
b.insertBefore(l, b.firstChild);
s.src = url + 'embedded.js';
s.setAttribute("defer","");
s.setAttribute("type","text/javascript");
s.setAttribute("data-legl-domain",url);
s.setAttribute('crossorigin',true);
b.insertAdjacentElement('afterend',s);
})(window, document,'firmname');If you would like to use your own button styling, use the following ID in addition to the JavaScript above:
id='legl-pay-button-firmname'
