Hi 👋
what kind of guidance?

#

@late rover let's chat in this thread

late rover Jun 9, 2022, 5:28 PM

#

Thank you!

#

We're trying to avoid the entrance of payment info but would still like BASIC customer info to be sent to Stripe

#

Is that possible?

visual cedar Jun 9, 2022, 5:31 PM

#

So you don't want to store payment info (CC, bank details, etc.) but still want to create Customer records in Stripe?

#

How are you integrating?

late rover Jun 9, 2022, 5:31 PM

#

Ideally.

#

We're planning to use WooCommerce but currently just have a very basic system setup with Gravity forms

#

We're concerned that we'll lose potential customers if we require payment info to be entered but we still want their basic info sent to Stripe

#

Unfortunately I'm not familiar with either of those platforms. If you want to store Customer data you can create a Customer record by making a call to our Customer API.

#

OK. So this code could potentially be integrated into our form so that the customer info would be sent over to Stripe upon submission?

#

From your server, since it needs the Stripe secret API key but yeah. Then you could look up customers on the email they entered.

#

Well we have that key already setup for our paid Stripe functionality

#

Gravity Forms has an - integration - section that allows for this info to be be entered

visual cedar Jun 9, 2022, 5:41 PM

#

Sure, I just mean that you'll want to make the API call from the server. Some people get confused between client requests with Stripe.js and server-side requests

late rover Jun 9, 2022, 5:41 PM

#

I see. That makes sense. I mostly just need assurance that we CAN send basic info to Stripe without payment info being submitted.

#

I have a meeting with our CMO in 18 minutes 🙂

visual cedar Jun 9, 2022, 5:45 PM

#

Well I can confirm you can create a Customer and store basic data without a payment method.

late rover Jun 9, 2022, 5:45 PM

#

OK. And I'm just talking about a pretty basic Wordpress site

#

Thanks for the help!

#

Sorry I didn't get back. It shouldn't matter as long as you can send the data back to your server and then make the API call.

#

I'm not super familiar with what WordPress lets you do

late rover Jun 9, 2022, 6:05 PM

#

All good! You are SO MUCH more helpful than Stripe "support"

#

🙏
