👋 Welcome to your new thread!

⏲️ We'll be here soon! Typically we respond in a few minutes, but sometimes we might take a bit longer if the server is busy or if you have a particularly tricky question.

⏱️ We close idle threads, which makes them read-only. Once a thread is closed it won't be reopened, but you can always start a new thread if you have another question.

🔗 This thread will always be available, even after it's closed. You can find it again using Discord's search, or you can save this link: https://discord.com/channels/841573134531821608/1332296839411662869

👋 happy to help

#

in that case why not just use the PaymentElements?

#

is there any pci compliance issues changing to this method?

#

we like the embedded form because it covers pci compliance

feral otter
#

all of our integrations are PCI compliant

forest wadi
#

ok thank you, how easy is it to switch do i totally replace the checkout.js code with this? is there an example project i could download?

feral otter
#

it's fairly simple, you can follow the guide I sent you

Set the SDK to use the custom_checkout_beta=v1 beta version header.

#

could you explain where this goes please? it doesnt seem to say where you would set this?

hi! I'm taking over this thread.

#

could you explain where this goes please? it doesnt seem to say where you would set this?
there's a code sample just below that shows exactly this

that completely depends on how you set things up on your end.

#

this code is to initialize Stripe, to allow you to create a Checkout Session just after.

forest wadi
#

ok but on that point, the next step says:
fetch('/create-checkout-session', {method: 'POST'})

#

but nowhere does it explain what /create-checkout-session is, is that mean to be the php page on our server again, or is it totally different?

mint dagger

#

but there it calls it server.php

#

sorry it's just a bit confusing compared to the embedded form documentation

mint dagger
#

but there it calls it server.php
yep, if you want to follow the documentation exactly:

  • on your server, have a file called server.php that contains an endpoint to /create-checkout-session to initialize Stripe and create a Checkout Session
  • on your frontend, make a fetch to that endpoint to retrieve the Checkout client secret
#

but if you don't want to use an endpoint, you could also directly create the Checkout Session when the page loads. that's up to you.

forest wadi
#

ok and does the server.php still need to echo json like with the embedded version? Because it doesn't show it is in the docs

#

but if i remove that line its saying "Uncaught (in promise) SyntaxError: JSON.parse: unexpected end of data at line 1 column 2 of the JSON data"

#

but if i leave it in its saying "Uncaught ReferenceError: clientSecret is not defined"

mint dagger
#

the /create-checkout-session needs to return the client secret as JSON yes. this way when you call fetch from the frontend, your can retrieve the secret.

forest wadi
#

why is that not shown in this doc though? is there an example project I could download as that would be easier

mint dagger
#

it is mentioned in the doc:

Add an endpoint on your server that creates a Checkout Session and returns its client secret to your front end.
but it's true we don't show the code for this. I can raise that as feedback to the team working on the documentation.

forest wadi
#

ok thanks, I will keep trying but it's just not working at all at the moment and I've copied every bit of the code from the docs, will try in a fresh environment and see if it helps

mint dagger

let me know if I can help.
