React Native SDK+ Integration Guide

Target
Language
For Rokt Ecommerce partners. This complete guide is for ecommerce businesses integrating Rokt into transaction experiences they own. It is not an advertiser implementation guide. Advertisers should use the Rokt Ads integration guides.

This page explains how to implement the Rokt Ecommerce React Native SDK+. The SDK+ passes user and transaction data to Rokt on configured screens so Rokt can render relevant experiences, such as offers on confirmation screens.

Use the Target and Language selectors above to choose your deployment platform and the native code examples you want to follow.

note

You'll write a few lines of native code when you initialize the SDK+ in Step 2. Every other step uses JavaScript through the react-native-mparticle package.

1. Add the Rokt SDK+ to Your React Native App#

1Install the React Native package#

Add the React Native SDK+ as a dependency to your application:

Install the React Native package
npm install react-native-mparticle --save

2Import the package into your app#

Import the package into your React Native app code and get an instance of the SDK:

Import the React Native package
import MParticle from 'react-native-mparticle';

Continue setting up the SDK+ on your native project. Use the Target pill above to switch between iOS and Android.

The NPM install step above automatically pulls in the React framework and the core iOS framework. The Rokt SDK+ for iOS is added as a pod dependency in your ios/Podfile.

3Add the Rokt SDK pod to your Podfile#

Add the Rokt SDK+ pod to your ios/Podfile:

ios/Podfile
pod 'RoktSDKPlus', '~> 9.2'

Because Rokt's iOS SDK contains Swift code, you need to either keep React Native's default static linking with a pre_install exception, or switch your project to frameworks. Pick the path that matches your project:

Linkage

4Configure your Podfile#

Add the following pre_install block to your ios/Podfile:

ios/Podfile (pre_install block)
pre_install do |installer|
installer.pod_targets.each do |pod|
if pod.name == 'RoktSDKPlus' || pod.name == 'mParticle-Apple-SDK' || pod.name == 'mParticle-Rokt' || pod.name == 'Rokt-Widget'
def pod.build_type
Pod::BuildType.new(:linkage => :dynamic, :packaging => :framework)
end
end
end
end

5Install pods#

Run pod install to apply the changes:

Install pods
bundle exec pod install

2. Initialize the Rokt SDK+#

Initialize the Rokt SDK+ on the native side. The SDK+ must be initialized before any other SDK+ API calls. Use the Target pill above to switch between iOS and Android.

Insert the initialization snippet in your AppDelegate file. Replace your-key and your-secret with the values provided by your Rokt account manager.

caution

Call registerPaymentExtension after MParticle.sharedInstance().start(with:) and before selectShoppableAds. It is required for Shoppable Ads placements on iOS.

AppDelegate initialization (Swift)
import mParticle_Apple_SDK
import RoktPaymentExtension

func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplicationLaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {
// Initialize the SDK
let options = MParticleOptions(key: "your-key",
secret: "your-secret")
// Specify the data environment with environment:
// Set it to .development if you are still testing your integration.
// Set it to .production if your integration is ready for production data.
// The default is .autoDetect which attempts to detect the environment automatically
options.environment = .development
MParticle.sharedInstance().start(with: options)

// Register after MParticle.sharedInstance().start(), before selectShoppableAds
if let paymentExt = RoktPaymentExtension(
applePayMerchantId: "merchant.com.yourapp.rokt"
) {
MParticle.sharedInstance().rokt.registerPaymentExtension(paymentExt)
}
return true
}

When inserting the initialization snippet, you will see customizable fields for:

1Entering your Rokt key and secret#

Set your-key and your-secret in MParticleOptions(key:secret:) to the values provided by your Rokt account manager.

2Setting your data environment#

Set options.environment to .development while testing to route data to the Development environment, and .production to send live customer activity to Production.

3Registering the payment extension#

Register RoktPaymentExtension after MParticle.sharedInstance().start(with:) and before selectShoppableAds to enable Shoppable Ads payments (including Apple Pay). Replace merchant.com.yourapp.rokt with your Apple Pay merchant ID. Required for all Shoppable Ads placements on iOS. The Stripe publishable key is configured in your mParticle Rokt kit settings (mParticle dashboard) — you only pass the Apple Pay merchant ID in code. RoktPaymentExtension is a Swift type; if your AppDelegate is Objective-C, do this from a small Swift file.

note

To identify the user and set additional user attributes, see Step 3: Identify the User below. If you don't have the user's email at initialization, you can identify the user later — see Error handling for how to handle identity errors.

3. Identify the User#

The SDK+ initialization script identifies the current user using the identifiers you provided in the script's identifyRequest object. After SDK initialization, you should keep the user's identity in sync whenever they log in, log out, or otherwise provide an identifier (for example, during checkout) using the appropriate method as described below.

Supported user identifiersDirect link to Supported user identifiers

Show supported user identifiers
FieldTypeDescription
emailstringPass the customer's raw, unhashed email address.
mobilestringPass the customer's phone number in E.164 format.
customeridstringPass your internal customer/account identifier. Send on every screen for logged-in users.
otherstringPass a SHA-256-hashed email. Only use when the raw email cannot be provided — do not pass both email and other. (Android path only.)
other2stringPass a SHA-256-hashed mobile number. Only use when the raw mobile number cannot be provided — do not pass both mobile and other2. (Android path only.)
emailSha256stringPass a SHA-256-hashed email. Only use when the raw email cannot be provided — do not pass both email and emailSha256. (iOS path only.)
mobileSha256stringPass a SHA-256-hashed mobile number. Only use when the raw mobile number cannot be provided — do not pass both mobile and mobileSha256. (iOS path only.)

To identify the user:

1Create an IdentityRequest object#

Create an IdentityRequest object to contain the user's identifiers. You should integrate the user's raw, unhashed email address into the email field.

2Set additional attributes via the identity callback#

To set additional user attributes, use the identity callback. If the identifyRequest succeeds, any user attributes you set inside the callback are assigned to the identified user.

3Send the request using the method that matches the user's action#

Pass the identifyRequest (and optional identityCallback) to the method that matches the user's action:

  • MParticle.Identity.login: call when the user logs in or creates an account.
  • MParticle.Identity.identify: call when you obtain the user's email mid-session without a login transition (for example, a guest enters their email at checkout).
  • MParticle.Identity.logout: call when the user logs out.

Calling these methods transitions the SDK's record of the current user's state. The login and logout methods also automatically log a corresponding event to improve Rokt's attribution.

For example, to identify a user named Jane Smith with the email address j.smith@example.com, mobile number +13125551515, and customer ID cust_10482:

Identify Jane Smith
// 1. Create the identifyRequest object
const request = new MParticle.IdentityRequest();
// Preferred: pass the customer's raw, unhashed email.
// If you can only provide a SHA-256-hashed email, remove .email and use other instead — do not pass both.
request.email = 'j.smith@example.com';
request.other = 'SHA-256 hashed email'; // only if raw email unavailable
// If you can only provide a SHA-256-hashed mobile number, use other2 instead of mobile — do not pass both.
// (Called 'other2' on Android and 'mobileSha256' on iOS; both use this same field.)
request.other2 = 'SHA-256 hashed mobile number'; // only if raw mobile unavailable
request.mobile = '+13125551515';
request.customerId = 'cust_10482';

// 2. User attributes are set using the identity callback
const identityCallback = (error, userId) => {
if (error) {
console.debug(error);
} else {
const user = new MParticle.User(userId);
user.setUserAttribute('firstname', 'Jane');
user.setUserAttribute('lastname', 'Smith');
}
};
// 3. Call one of the following methods that best matches the user's action:
MParticle.Identity.login(request, identityCallback); // Call when the user logs in or creates an account
MParticle.Identity.identify(request, identityCallback); // Call when you obtain the user's email mid-session, but not during a login
MParticle.Identity.logout({}); // Call when the user logs out

4. Set User Attributes#

Set user attributes progressively as the user navigates your app, not just at checkout. The more attributes you set, the better Rokt can resolve the customer and deliver relevant offers.

Set user attributes
import MParticle from 'react-native-mparticle';

// Retrieve the current user. This will only succeed if you have identified the user during SDK+ initialization or by calling the identify method.
MParticle.Identity.getCurrentUser((currentUser) => {
if (currentUser) {
// Once you have the current user, you can set user attributes with:
currentUser.setUserAttribute('custom-attribute-name', 'custom-attribute-value');
// Note: all user attributes (including list attributes and tags) must have distinct names.

// Rokt recommends setting as many of the following user attributes as possible:
currentUser.setUserAttribute('firstname', 'John');
currentUser.setUserAttribute('lastname', 'Doe');
// Phone numbers can be formatted either as '1234567890', or '+1 (234) 567-8901'
currentUser.setUserAttribute('mobile', '3125551515');
currentUser.setUserAttribute('age', '33');
currentUser.setUserAttribute('gender', 'M');
currentUser.setUserAttribute('billingcity', 'Brooklyn');
currentUser.setUserAttribute('billingstate', 'NY');
currentUser.setUserAttribute('billingzipcode', '123456');
currentUser.setUserAttribute('dob', 'yyyymmdd');
currentUser.setUserAttribute('title', 'Mr');
currentUser.setUserAttribute('language', 'en');
currentUser.setUserAttribute('predictedltv', '136.23');

// You can create a user attribute to contain a list of values
currentUser.setUserAttributeArray('favorite-genres', ['documentary', 'comedy', 'romance', 'drama']);

// To remove a user attribute, call removeUserAttribute and pass in the attribute name.
currentUser.removeUserAttribute('attribute-to-remove');
}
});

All user attributes (including list attributes) must have distinct names.

5. Track Funnel Events#

Track screen views, commerce events, and custom events so Rokt can understand where each customer is in their journey.

Event category

Call MParticle.logScreenEvent() with the name of the screen (e.g. "homepage", "product_detail_page"). Include any additional custom attributes in the info object.

Log a screen view
import MParticle from 'react-native-mparticle';

MParticle.logScreenEvent('homepage', {
'custom-attribute': 'custom-value',
});

6. Show a Placement#

Call selectPlacements on every payment and confirmation screen you want Rokt to render content on. Include one of the following page identifiers to specify the screen type and whether it's for testing or production:

  • stg.rokt.conf: A confirmation screen in a staging (or testing) environment.
  • prod.rokt.conf: A confirmation screen in a production environment.
  • stg.rokt.payments: A payments screen in a staging (or testing) environment.
  • prod.rokt.payments: A payments screen in a production environment.

Call selectPlacements as early as the screen loads and once all relevant attributes are available. At minimum, pass email, firstname, lastname, billingzipcode, and confirmationref. See Placement attributes for the full list.

Pay+

For Pay+ placements, include paymenttype and paymentServiceProvider in the selectPlacements call on each screen. paymentServiceProvider communicates what payment methods are available on the payment screen; paymenttype communicates what method the user paid with.

Placement attributesDirect link to Placement attributes

Pass these attributes in the attributes map of selectPlacements. Always supply the most recent value — attributes passed here override any earlier setUserAttribute calls.

7. Appendix#

Appendix A: App configurationDirect link to Appendix A: App configuration

Applications can pass configuration settings through RoktConfig so the SDK+ uses your app's custom configuration instead of system defaults.

ColorMode objectDirect link to ColorMode object

ValueDescription
lightApplication is in Light Mode
darkApplication is in Dark Mode
systemApplication defaults to System Color Mode

EdgeToEdgeDisplay (Android only)Direct link to EdgeToEdgeDisplay (Android only)

This boolean controls whether the Rokt SDK+ renders in edge-to-edge display mode on Android (default true). Set to false if your app does not support edge-to-edge display.

CacheConfig objectDirect link to CacheConfig object

ParameterDescription
cacheDurationOptional duration in seconds for which the Rokt SDK+ should cache the experience. Maximum allowed value is 90 minutes; default is 90 minutes if not provided or invalid.
cacheAttributesOptional attributes to be used as cache key. If null, all attributes sent in selectPlacements will be used as the cache key.
RoktConfig with ColorMode and CacheConfig
import MParticle from 'react-native-mparticle';

// Cache the experience for 1200 seconds, using email and orderNumber as the cache key.
const roktConfig = MParticle.Rokt.createRoktConfig(

);

Appendix B: RoktLayoutView componentDirect link to Appendix B: RoktLayoutView component

For embedded placements, the React Native SDK+ provides the RoktLayoutView component for a declarative approach to integrating Rokt placements in your app's view hierarchy. RoktLayoutView supports embedded placement types without the need to manually manage node handles.

Embedded placement with RoktLayoutView
import React from 'react';
import { findNodeHandle, View } from 'react-native';
import MParticle, { RoktLayoutView } from 'react-native-mparticle';

const MyConfirmationScreen = () => {
const placeholder1 = React.createRef();

const handleSelectPlacements = () => {
const placeholders = {
RoktEmbedded1: findNodeHandle(placeholder1.current),
};

const attributes = {
'email': 'j.smith@example.com',
'firstname': 'Jenny',
'lastname': 'Smith',
'billingzipcode': '90210',
'confirmationref': '54321',
};

MParticle.Rokt.selectPlacements(
'RoktExperience',
attributes,
placeholders,
);
};

return (
<View>
{/* Your confirmation screen content */}
<RoktLayoutView ref={placeholder1} placeholderName="RoktEmbedded1" />
</View>
);
};

ParametersDirect link to Parameters

ParameterTypeDescription
refRefReact ref used to get the native node handle for the placeholder map.
placeholderNamestringThe embedded view identifier (e.g. "RoktEmbedded1"), must match the key in the placeholders map passed to selectPlacements.

Appendix C: Error handlingDirect link to Appendix C: Error handling

The IDSync API is intended to be central to your app's state and is designed to be fast and highly-available. Similar to how your app may prevent users from logging in, logging out, or modifying their state without an internet connection — treat these APIs as gating operations to maintain a consistent user state. The SDK+ will not retry API calls automatically, but provides callback APIs so you can do so according to your business logic.

If you do not implement error handling, you may see data consistency issues at scale.

IDSync error handling
import MParticle from 'react-native-mparticle';

const request = new MParticle.IdentityRequest();
request.email = 'j.smith@example.com';

MParticle.Identity.identify(request, (error, userId) => {
if (error) {
// Inspect error.code to determine the cause:
// - Network errors: retry the request
// - Throttle errors (429): retry with backoff
console.debug('Identity error:', error);
} else {
// Proceed with the identified user
const user = new MParticle.User(userId);
user.setUserAttribute('firstname', 'Jane');
}
});

iOS error codesDirect link to iOS error codes

On iOS, the native MPIdentityErrorResponseCode enum defines the following client-side codes. Inspect error.code in the native onIdentifyComplete callback to determine the cause:

MPIdentityErrorResponseCodeDescription
MPIdentityErrorResponseCodeRequestInProgressAn IDSync HTTP request was not performed because one is already in progress.
MPIdentityErrorResponseCodeClientSideTimeoutThe IDSync HTTP request failed due to a TCP connection timeout.
MPIdentityErrorResponseCodeClientNoConnectionThe IDSync HTTP request failed due to lack of network coverage.
MPIdentityErrorResponseCodeSSLErrorThe IDSync HTTP request failed due to an SSL configuration issue.
MPIdentityErrorResponseCodeOptOutThe IDSync HTTP request was not performed because the SDK+ is disabled due to opt-out.
MPIdentityErrorResponseCodeUnknownThe IDSync HTTP request failed due to an unknown error.

In addition to the client-side codes above, error.code may contain a server-generated HTTP status code:

ValueDescription
400The IDSync HTTP call failed due to an invalid request body. Inspect the error details for more information.
401The IDSync HTTP call failed due to an authentication error. Verify that your API key is correct.
403The IDSync HTTP call failed because this operation is not provisioned for your account. Contact your Rokt account manager to enable it.
429The IDSync HTTP call was throttled and should be retried with exponential backoff. This may indicate a user "hotkey" or an incorrect implementation resulting in higher than expected IDSync volume.
5xxThe IDSync HTTP call failed due to a Rokt server-side issue. Contact your account representative for additional information.

Android error codesDirect link to Android error codes

On Android, the IDSync API always returns the HTTP status code and body of the underlying HTTP response. For client-side failures (device offline, timeout, invalid request), the SDK+ returns IdentityApi.UNKNOWN_ERROR. For throttling (HTTP 429), it returns IdentityApi.THROTTLE_ERROR. Handle both in your failure listener:

Android IDSync error handling (Kotlin)
MParticle.getInstance()?.Identity()?.identify(identifyRequest)
?.addFailureListener { identityHttpResponse ->
if (identityHttpResponse?.httpCode == IdentityApi.UNKNOWN_ERROR) {
// Device is likely offline — retry the request
} else if (identityHttpResponse?.httpCode == IdentityApi.THROTTLE_ERROR) {
// Throttled (429) — retry with backoff
}
}

Appendix D: Passing session ID from web to nativeDirect link to Appendix D: Passing session ID from web to native

When a user journey spans both web and native platforms, you can maintain a consistent Rokt session by passing the session ID from the Web SDK+ to the React Native SDK+. This is useful for hybrid flows where users complete an action in a WebView (such as a payment page) and return to the native app for confirmation.

Getting the session ID from Web SDK+Direct link to Getting the session ID from Web SDK+

After calling selectPlacements, the session ID is available on the selection context:

Retrieve sessionId from the selection context
const selection = await launcher.selectPlacements({
identifier: "checkout",
attributes: {
email: "user@example.com",
// ... other attributes
}
});

const sessionId = await selection.context.sessionId;
note

The session ID is a unique GUID assigned to the current user journey. It is useful for debugging and for correlating a user's activity across your web and native surfaces.

Pass the session ID to your native app using a deep link:

Deep-link to native app
const deepLink = `myapp://confirmation?sessionId=${encodeURIComponent(sessionId)}`;
window.location.href = deepLink;

Setting the session IDDirect link to Setting the session ID

Extract the session ID from the deep link in your native platform code and pass it to the SDK+ before calling selectPlacements. Handle this in your native AppDelegate (iOS) or Activity (Android) before the React Native layer loads:

Set sessionId from deep link (React Native)
import { Linking } from 'react-native';
import MParticle from 'react-native-mparticle';

// Listen for incoming deep links
Linking.addEventListener('url', ({ url }) => {
const sessionId = new URL(url).searchParams.get('sessionId');
if (sessionId) {
void MParticle.Rokt.setSessionId(sessionId);
}
});

NotesDirect link to Notes

  • Call setSessionId before selectPlacements to ensure the session is used.
  • Empty strings are ignored and will not update the session.
  • Always URL-encode the session ID when passing as a query parameter.

8. Test Your Integration#

To confirm the SDK+ initializes and events log correctly:

1Enable verbose SDK+ logging#

Enable verbose SDK+ logging before initialization so you can see what's being sent.

Enable verbose SDK+ logging
// For iOS verbose logging, add to your Swift AppDelegate:
// MParticle.sharedInstance().logLevel = .verbose

// For Android verbose logging, add to your Application class before MParticle.start():
// MParticle.setLogLevel(MParticle.LogLevel.VERBOSE)

2Build and run against a development key#

Build and run your app with the environment set to Development.

3Trigger selectPlacements#

Trigger selectPlacements on the screen where the placement should render and confirm the placement loads.

4Verify events#

Verify the events are logged and the identifyRequest call succeeds.

TroubleshootingDirect link to Troubleshooting

If the placement doesn't render or events don't appear, check the native console (Xcode for iOS, Logcat for Android) for Rokt SDK+ errors. Common issues:

Initialization errorsDirect link to Initialization errors

  • Confirm the key and secret in your native initialization match the values from your Rokt account manager.
  • Confirm the native SDK+ start call runs before any selectPlacements or event logging calls.
