Yes, Webflow has the ability to output x-www-form-urlencoded formatting for form data payloads when connecting to Stripe. This can be achieved by setting up a custom webhook integration in Webflow and configuring the payload data to be in the x-www-form-urlencoded format.

Here is how you can set it up:

  1. Start by creating a form in Webflow and add input fields for the required data (such as name, email, payment amount, etc.) that you want to send to Stripe.

  2. Connect your form to a third-party service (such as Zapier or Integromat) that allows you to set up custom webhooks.

  3. In your chosen service, create a new webhook integration and set it up to receive data from your Webflow form.

  4. Configure the webhook integration to transform the received data into x-www-form-urlencoded format. This can usually be done using the built-in tools in the webhook service or through custom scripting.

  5. Set up the destination for the transformed data to be sent to Stripe. This can be done by configuring the webhook to make a POST request to the appropriate Stripe API endpoint with the transformed payload.

  6. Complete the setup by testing the integration to ensure that the data is being sent to Stripe in the correct format.

By following these steps, you can successfully output x-www-form-urlencoded formatting for form data payloads when connecting Webflow to Stripe.
