I'm trying to add on this checkout page instead of showing "Purchasing at store.mc-1st.ro" to whathever the customer will buy, for example x1 VIP
What API do I need in order to be able to do so?

[neon sapphire]

Hello, this doc shows how to set up a Checkout Session with line items https://docs.stripe.com/payments/accept-a-payment?platform=web&ui=stripe-hosted&lang=php#redirect-customers

[neon sapphire]

Hello Pompey.
So as I understand I need to create a $checkout_session = $stripe->checkout->sessions->create for each item i have in my webstore?

[marble kindle]

Nope just once, you would add all of your cart items to the line_items array when creating the session

[neon sapphire]

so this should look like this?

  'line_items' => [[ 'VIP', 'VIP+' etc
    'price_data' => [
      'currency' => 'usd',
      'product_data' => [
        'name' => 'T-shirt',
      ],
      'unit_amount' => 2000,
    ],
    'quantity' => 1,
  ]],
  'mode' => 'payment',
  'ui_mode' => 'embedded',
  'return_url' => 'https://example.com/checkout/return?session_id={CHECKOUT_SESSION_ID}',
]);

Have you tried running that codee in test mode?

[neon sapphire]

nope, i'm seeking for clear information, that's why i asked before doing something

[marble kindle]

Is 'VIP', 'VIP+' etc a placeholder for other items? I think our PHP library will error if you put strings where key value pairs are expected

[neon sapphire]

yea, as a placeholder as example to be sure if i understood, but seems that i didn't xD

[marble kindle]

I would highly recommend testing in test mode first, we're happy to consult on errors that happen and it can be really clarifying to how these calls work

[neon sapphire]

If i add all of my items in the line_items, when the customer checks out a specific item, it won't be showing up all of the items listed into that line?

[marble kindle]

Can you tell me more about what you are having trouble understanding? Happy to clarify but I'm not clear on what you aren't clear on

[marble kindle]

Correct, the session only knows about the line item or items you pass it. Stripe doesn't have a concept of your cart outside of that

[neon sapphire]

oh so item names from my actual webstore and the code should identic so stripe will know what to display

[neon sapphire]

yes, not sure where actually to write the items, in line_items but if you can draw me an arrow where to begin and where to do next, I'm pretty new in matters of coding

[marble kindle]

Unfortunately I'm working in too many threads to use drawing software at the moment

Do you see the line_items parameter in your checkout create function? That parameter takes an array, you will want to add more items to that array
