Integrating Stripe Terminal with Webflow's E-commerce System

Currently, Webflow's native E-commerce system does not have built-in support for integrating with Stripe Terminal. Stripe Terminal is specifically designed for in-person payments using physical card readers, while Webflow's E-commerce system primarily focuses on online transactions.

However, if you want to use Stripe Terminal with Webflow, you can consider using custom code and external integrations to achieve the desired functionality. Here is a possible approach to integrating Stripe Terminal with Webflow's E-commerce system:

Use Stripe.js: Since Webflow allows custom code injection, you can include the Stripe.js library to handle the payment processing on the client-side.
Build a custom checkout process: Create a custom checkout page in Webflow where customers can add products to their cart and proceed to the Stripe Terminal payment process. You would need to use the Stripe Payment Intent API to generate a payment intent and handle the card information securely.
Utilize Webflow's E-commerce system for order management: Even though Stripe Terminal will handle the actual payment, you can still use Webflow's E-commerce system to manage the order details, notifications, and inventory management.
Sync inventory: To solve the inventory syncing issue between the E-commerce system and the Point of Sale (POS) solution, you might need to consider an additional integration. While Square + Foxy + Webflow integration will solve certain aspects of the POS and inventory management, it does not bridge the gap between Webflow's E-commerce system and Stripe Terminal.

To bridge the gap, you can explore options like using third-party inventory management software or custom development to synchronize inventory between Webflow's E-commerce system and your POS system. This would require creating custom API integrations or utilizing third-party tools that can handle inventory syncing between the two systems.

In summary, integrating Stripe Terminal with Webflow's E-commerce system requires custom development and external integrations. While Square + Foxy + Webflow can provide some POS and inventory management capabilities, it does not directly solve the inventory syncing issue between Webflow's E-commerce system and Stripe Terminal.
