yodasgerbil - Checkout Redirect

[lofty spire]

Hello! Can you provide more details about what you need help with specifically?

Thanks

I am able to create the session

exports.handler = async (event) => {
const body = JSON.parse(event.body);
const session = await stripe.checkout.sessions.create({
success_url: 'http://localhost:8888/thank-you',
cancel_url: 'http://localhost:8888/404',
payment_method_types: ['card'],
line_items: body,
mode: 'payment',
});

but not sure how to call the stripe checkout page with the created session id

After that code runs session.url should contain the link you redirect your customer to.

[turbid kernel]

right, I see the url in the returned session.

do I then call the redirectToCheckout function like this?

.then(async response => {
const { id } = await response.json()
const { error } = await stripe.redirectToCheckout({ sessionId: id })
alert(error.message)
})
.catch(err => alert(err.message))

No, you don't need to call redirectToCheckout at all if you're using the URL from the Checkout Session.

Your frontend code would get the URL and send your customer to it.

So the steps would be:

1. Send session.url to your frontend code
2. Send your customer to that URL
