Hi there!

#

What do you mean by "redirect"?

.then(async (res) => {
            const { error } = await stripe.confirmPayment({
              elements,
              confirmParams: {
                // Return to checkout pending page  (fileName is used to later download the file from the server)
                return_url: `${process.env.REACT_APP_WEBSITE_DOMAIN}/createAudit/`
              }
            });

#

this one

#

is it fine to put the localhost into the .env variable?

#

or does it need to be a reachable url from outwards?

While you are testing things, it's totally fine to use a localhost URL.

nova jetty While you are testing things, it's totally fine to use a localhost URL.

means when going live i have to provide the actual return url?

#

so instead localhost:3000/createAudit https://myurl.io/createAudit

#

?

The return_url you set is where your customer will be redirected after their payment is completed. So you need to provide a valid URL that customer can access.
While you are building your integration, using localhost makes a lot of sense. But once you are live I would recommend using a real URL with your own domain.
