Shopping (iOS)

FireworkVideoSDK contains a shopping property that enables video shopping integration. There are two main points of integration both located on the FireworkVideoShopping type.

FireworkVideoShoppingDelegate

Assign FireworkVideoShoppingDelegate delegate to receive important shopping events.

FireworkVideoSDK.shopping.delegate = <Your delegate>

The shopping lifecycle events provide opportinities to customize the product views, hydrate product information and handle when a user adds a product variant to the cart.

Product Hydration

The fireworkShopping(_:updateDetailsForProducts:forVideo:_:) method will be called when a video will be shown that contains products. It is at this point when the host app will be able to update the associated product information. In fireworkShopping(_:updateDetailsForProducts:forVideo:_:), you could use ProductHydrating API to hydrate products. For example, you could update product names, descriptions, and variants.

func fireworkShopping(
    _ fireworkShopping: FireworkVideoShopping,
    updateDetailsForProducts products: [ProductID],
    forVideo video: VideoDetails,
    _ productHydrator: any ProductHydrating) {
    // Fetch latest product info
    // based on product id list from host app server

    // Call hydration API
    for productID in products {
        productHydrator.hydrateProduct(productID) { productBuilder in
            // Update product info
            productBuilder
                .name("Latest product name")
                .description("Latest product description")
                .isAvailable(true)

            // Update product variants.
            // The strategy can be merge or replace.
            // With merge strategy, we will merge these new variants into existing variants. We use variant id to match the variant.
            // With `replace` strategy, we will replace existing variants with these new variants.
            productBuilder.variants(.merge) { variantsBuilder in
                // Build variant
                variantsBuilder.variant("variant id1") { variantBuilder in
                    variantBuilder.name("Latest variant name1")
                        .formattedPrice(100, currencyCode: "USD")
                        .formattedOriginalPrice(120, currencyCode: "USD")
                        .url("Latest variant url1")
                        .imageUrl("Latest variant image url1")
                        .isAvailable(true)
                        .options([
                            "Color": "Latest variant color1",
                            "Size": "Latest variant size1"
                        ])
                    return variantBuilder
                }

                // Build variant
                variantsBuilder.variant("variant id2") { variantBuilder in
                    variantBuilder.name("Latest variant name2")
                        .formattedPrice(110, currencyCode: "USD")
                        .formattedOriginalPrice(130, currencyCode: "USD")
                        .url("Latest variant url2")
                        .imageUrl("Latest variant image url2")
                        .isAvailable(true)
                        .options([
                            "Color": "Latest variant color2",
                            "Size": "Latest variant size2"
                        ])
                    return variantBuilder
                }
                return variantsBuilder
            }
            return productBuilder
        }
    }
}

Strategy for hydrating product variants

1. With merge strategy, we will merge these new variants into existing variants. We use variant id to match the variant.

2. With replace strategy, we will replace existing variants with these new variants.

Purchase tracking

The host app can record a purchase which will help get a full picture of the user journey flow.In order to do this, call FireworkVideoSDK.trackPurchase whenever the purchase happens.

let totalPurchaseValue: Double = // The total value of the purchase
FireworkVideoSDK.trackPurchase(
            orderID: "<Order ID of User Purchase>",
            value: totalPurchaseValue,
            currencyCode: Locale.current.currencyCode,
            countryCode: Locale.current.regionCode,
            [
                "additionalKey1": "additionalValue1",
                "additionalKey2": "additionalValue2",
                "additionalKey3": "additionalValue3"
            ]
        )
