@warm flume you can use https://stripe.com/docs/api/checkout/sessions/create#create_checkout_session-line_items-price_data

[warm flume]

What I'm looking at at that link is this:

const session = await stripe.checkout.sessions.create({
  success_url: 'https://example.com/success',
  cancel_url: 'https://example.com/cancel',
  line_items: [
    {price: 'price_H5ggYwtDq4fbrJ', quantity: 2},
  ],
  mode: 'payment',
});

It still seems like the price has to be pre-entered manually by me in the console. Is this correct?

Can I just specify a decimal amount instead?

[proud tide]

the price parameter is the id of an existing Price object price_123 that you would have created in your account yes.
If you want to pass a custom price amount each time, you have to use price_data which I just linked you to above

So something like this:

const session = await stripe.checkout.sessions.create({
  success_url: 'https://example.com/success',
  cancel_url: 'https://example.com/cancel',
  line_items: [
    price_data : {
       currency : "usd",
       product : "test_product",
       tax_behavior: "inclusive"
    }
  ],
  mode: 'payment',
});

[proud tide]

well it's an array of hashes so const session = await stripe.checkout.sessions.create({ success_url: 'https://example.com/success', cancel_url: 'https://example.com/cancel', line_items: [ { price_data : { ... } } ], mode: 'payment', }); but yes

[warm flume]

And should this endpoint be a POST or GET?

[proud tide]

what do you think?

[warm flume]

Trying GET seems to give me a better result

[proud tide]

that's really up to you. I think it should be a POST since your code is explicitly creating a resource (A Checkout Session). But that's up to you

[warm flume]

That does make sense. I tested it out and it seems to work fully which is beautiful. That was super helpful!
