How can Stripe be implemented with Webflow to design a payment form that redirects users to the Stripe payment page with a button click?
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:
-
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.
-
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.
-
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>
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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');
.
-
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. -
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
whereSESSION_ID
is the ID of your Stripe Checkout session. -
Style the form and button: Customize the appearance of your payment form and button using the Webflow Designer tools.
-
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.
