To implement Stripe with Webflow and design a payment form that redirects users to the Stripe payment page with a button click, follow these steps:

  1. Set up a Stripe account: If you don't have a Stripe account already, sign up for one at stripe.com. Once registered, you'll have access to your Stripe API keys.

  2. Obtain your Stripe API keys: In your Stripe dashboard, navigate to the Developers section and find your API keys. You'll need both the Publishable Key and the Secret Key.

  3. Add the Stripe JavaScript library to your project: In your Webflow project, go to Project Settings > Custom Code and enter the following code before the closing head tag:

<script src="https://js.stripe.com/v3/"></script>
  1. Create a button element: Head to your desired page in the Webflow Designer and add a button element to your form. This will serve as the button that redirects users to the Stripe payment page.

  2. Modify the Button settings: Select the button element and go to the Settings panel on the right-hand side. Under the Link settings, choose "External URL" as the link type. In the URL field, enter "#" (or any valid URL) for now. We'll update it with the Stripe URL later.

  3. Add a custom code block: Drag and drop a Code Block element below your button element. This code block will house the JavaScript code to redirect users to the Stripe payment page.

  4. Insert the Stripe JavaScript code: Double-click the Code Block element to open the code editor. Enter the following code:

<script>  // Replace 'PUBLISHABLE_KEY' with your own stripe publishable key  const stripe = Stripe('PUBLISHABLE_KEY');  // Replace 'BUTTON_CLASSNAME' with the class name of your button element  const button = document.querySelector('.BUTTON_CLASSNAME');  button.addEventListener('click', () => {    // Replace this URL with the URL to your actual Stripe Checkout session    const sessionUrl = '';    fetch(sessionUrl)      .then((response) => {        return response.json();      })      .then((session) => {        return stripe.redirectToCheckout({ sessionId: session.id });      })      .then((result) => {        if (result.error) {          console.error(result.error.message);        }      })      .catch((error) => {        console.error(error);      });  });</script>

Replace 'PUBLISHABLE_KEY' with your actual Stripe publishable key, and 'BUTTON_CLASSNAME' with the class name of your button element. For example, if your button has the class payment-button, the code should be updated to const button = document.querySelector('.payment-button');.

  1. Configure the Stripe Checkout session: You'll need to set up a Stripe Checkout session on your server-side code, providing the necessary details such as the amount, currency, and any additional data. Once you have the session URL, replace const sessionUrl = ''; with the actual URL.

  2. Connect the Stripe redirect: Go back to the button Settings panel in the Webflow Designer. Update the URL field with the appropriate Stripe redirect URL. For example, use https://checkout.stripe.com/pay/SESSION_ID where SESSION_ID is the ID of your Stripe Checkout session.

  3. Style the form and button: Customize the appearance of your payment form and button using the Webflow Designer tools.

  4. Publish your project: Once you're satisfied with the design and functionality, publish your Webflow project to make it live.

By following these steps, you can implement Stripe with Webflow to create a payment form that redirects users to the Stripe payment page with a button click.
