Implementation example. V&E plug-in

function VNEDemo_CheckVne($config, $accountAttributes, $orderItems, $paytoolItems)
{
    $pin_validated = \FraudSDK\mapGetValue($accountAttributes, 'VNEDEMO_PIN_VALIDATED', NULL);
    if ($pin_validated === '1')
    {
        return \FraudSDK\createCheckVneResult()
               ->setSucceed();
    }

    $msisdn = \FraudSDK\mapGetValue($accountAttributes, 'VNEDEMO_PHONE', NULL);

    if (is_null($msisdn))
    {
        return \FraudSDK\createCheckVneResult()
               ->setFailed()
               ->setMessage('Please, specify MSISDN.')
               ->hideAttribute('VNEDEMO_PIN')
               ->showAttribute('VNEDEMO_PHONE');
    }

    $pin = \FraudSDK\mapGetValue($accountAttributes, 'VNEDEMO_PIN', NULL);
    if (!is_string($pin) || (trim($pin) == ''))
    {
        return \FraudSDK\createCheckVneResult()
               ->setFailed()
               ->setMessage('PIN code is sent to you via SMS. Please fill in corresponding field.')
               ->showAttribute('VNEDEMO_PHONE')
               ->showAttribute('VNEDEMO_PIN');
    }

    if ($pin !== '7777')
    {
        return \FraudSDK\createCheckVneResult()
               ->setFailed()
               ->setMessage('Invalid PIN Code!')
               ->showAttribute('VNEDEMO_PHONE')
               ->showAttribute('VNEDEMO_PIN');
    }

    return \FraudSDK\createCheckVneResult()
           ->setAttributeValue('VNEDEMO_PIN', '')
           ->setAttributeValue('VNEDEMO_PIN_VALIDATED', '1')
