Hi orakaro!

Hi!

#

We have a built in Pricing table, have you tried it?

dusty frost Sep 29, 2022, 1:16 AM

#

Yes I did but it doesn't work with my app. I need to run my code but pass the price IDs to the server function and then push the user to the checkout screen

#

Are there docs that might help me do that? I haven't been able to find any on the site.

This sounds simple enough to me. It's only to send price Id as a parameter in a POST request from your frontend to backend

#

then in your call to create Checkout Session in backend, simply supply that parameter

#

Yes but on the backend I have to pass the price id--as a variable--to the checkout session. The docs said to hide the price id variables in the .env file (and not send them through the client) so if I have three options on the front end how do I make sure the correct price ID is sent on the back end?

#

Because I have a price id variable for each of my three tiers

#

And the docs only have the one price ID in the server code: https://stripe.com/docs/checkout/quickstart#line-items

Prebuilt Checkout page

The Doc is just an example 🙂 You can think of sending price id over like any normal POST parameter

#

The way it's written that way is because it's generally good practice to use price id from server-side. But nothing can stop you from sending it from client-side

Ya I think that's what I"m struggling with. Thank you for your quick responses and I should share that I'm a beginner/intermediate.

#

Okay quick question...

#

if I have ids "basic" "scaled" and "enterprise" coming from the client... how do I assign the corresponding priceID variable to the server code?

wraith helm Sep 29, 2022, 1:28 AM

#

um you build a map in your server-side language? Like {"basic" -> price_xxx, "scaled" -> price_yyy" ....}

dusty frost Sep 29, 2022, 1:30 AM

#

and I would do that in place of '{{PRICE_ID}}' ?

wraith helm Sep 29, 2022, 1:40 AM

#

no, you have the map beforehand, then from the parameter, take the corresponding price_xxx or price_yyy from the map, then pass the value to the place of {{PRICE_ID}}

Got it. I'll look into how to do that. Thank you.
