Hello! It sounds like you're not a developer, correct?

vagrant gull Oct 17, 2024, 10:14 PM

#

No I am not! I am just trying to make a website with a checkout system

plush flame Oct 17, 2024, 10:14 PM

#

Most of Stripe is designed to be used by developers, but we do have no-code approaches and guides here: https://docs.stripe.com/no-code

#

Have you looked through that section?

Yea, I find that quite interesting since its the main payment gateway option when you google it and is suggested for people other than developers.

I have looked at this yea - from what I ascertained is that the only non code options were payment links and was it creating a pricing table? Something like that...

#

I am using Tilda for my website host platform and they also suggest using stripe - notably they aren't a code centered platform.. not that thats stripes fault, I just thought it was far more user friendly

#

There are several different options, but if you need more advanced functionality than what's offered there you would either need to use code or choose a third-party option that supports the functionality that you need.

Is there any way to easily add what I was asking for above (options for shipping and promotional code) ? Is that more advanced functionality?

plush flame Oct 17, 2024, 10:20 PM

#

You should be able to turn those on for Payment Links you create without code.

vagrant gull Oct 17, 2024, 10:20 PM

#

Its interesting how you can literally use this page to see how a checkout would look but you can't implement the changes to your own website? https://checkout.stripe.dev/preview

plush flame Oct 17, 2024, 10:21 PM

#

That's designed to show developers what's possible when using code.

odd aurora Oct 17, 2024, 10:21 PM

#

@vagrant gull there's a ton you can do but you have to write code. Or hire a developer or freelancer to do this for you

plush flame Oct 17, 2024, 10:21 PM

#

Yeah, if you create a Payment Link in the Dashboard there are options to enable shipping address collection and allow promotion codes.

vagrant gull Oct 17, 2024, 10:22 PM

#

plush flame You should be able to turn those on for Payment Links you create without code.

Ok, but payment links are one off links I have to send to people correct? Not a permanent payment gateway that my website can consistenly use? Or have I missunderstood that..?

odd aurora Oct 17, 2024, 10:23 PM

#

you can have one PaymentLink and send the link to multiple end customers if they buy the same thing

vagrant gull Oct 17, 2024, 10:23 PM

#

If I have 20+ products on my website I would need to make payment links for each of the products?

odd aurora Oct 17, 2024, 10:24 PM

#

Well that wouldn't really work. Instead you are talking about a cart system that someone would have to build for you

vagrant gull Oct 17, 2024, 10:27 PM

#

Yet stripe already has a cart system that is set up but the customisation is ridiculously hard to do if you don't now code... seems ridiculous... I'm not angry by the way, I know you guys are just doing your job and thank you so much for your time and patience!

Anyway... I would say stripe would probably retain a lot more customers if they allowed for a bit more userbility for plebs like me, theres more of us around than developers and plenty don't have money to hire developers.

odd aurora Oct 17, 2024, 10:29 PM

#

That's fair but there are thousands of third-party systems that are built on top of Stripe and allow to use our APIs in a no-code way so we usually recommend looking at those partners to find a good fit

vagrant gull Oct 17, 2024, 10:30 PM

#

Ok, that sounds like the next step in my journey - can you please let me know which third party apps you would suggest and if you have had any experience with Tilda perhaps one that is suited to Tilda, no worries if not

odd aurora Oct 17, 2024, 10:32 PM

#

I don't know sorry. I've never even heard of Tilda so I can't really recommend anything specific. In this server we focus on helping developers who write their whole code end to end and have questions about the API.
I'd recommend looking at https://stripe.partners/ to try and find somethign that fits your needs. Or maybe asking Tilda's support team what advice they have for a non developer

vagrant gull Oct 17, 2024, 10:34 PM

#

Ok, thank you very much for your time! I really appreciate it - I will attempt these options
