hi there! Are you creating a Checkout Session serverside first before using stripe.redirectToCheckout?

lilac eagle Jul 21, 2022, 6:54 AM

#

I am not. But I am now considering it so that I can set the PaymentIntent.

I was following instructions here (#3) to add custom-code to my webflow website: https://stripe.com/docs/payments/checkout/client#customize-checkout-button

#

What would be what you are thinking here @neat plaza ?

Would I create the Checkout Session and then pass it in as a "sessionId" to "redirectToCheckout"?

#

onesec, let me take a look at that page

#

hmmm, yeah, you don't have a choice, you're going to need to create the Session in your server first cause redirect to Checkout doesn't have capture method as a parameter to pass through

#

https://stripe.com/docs/api/checkout/sessions/create#create_checkout_session-payment_intent_data-capture_method

#

i'd suggest referring to this guide : https://stripe.com/docs/checkout/quickstart

#

there is an alternative also, you could use payment links

#

so if you have a set Price/Product, you could create a single Payment Link via the API : https://stripe.com/docs/payments/payment-links/api. Then redirect the user to that Payment Link

#

Hmm. I only have access to vanilla html/js + jquery.

#

Since I am trying to build this on webflow, I don't necessarily have access to their backend service.

#

to clarify, is it a set list of items that you're selling?

lilac eagle Jul 21, 2022, 7:13 AM

#

Nope. Just one item

#

But that one item I can only sell X times

#

so what I'd suggest you do, is to maybe just use cURL and your secret key. Then create the payment link for that particular item with capture_method=manual : https://stripe.com/docs/api/payment_links/payment_links/object#payment_link_object-payment_intent_data-capture_method

#

then you'll get a URL in the response

#

you can just redirect to that URL when the customer clicks a button on your website

#

the reason why you have to create the Payment Link via the API is because the Dashboard doesn't currently support this parameter for Payment Links

#

it may in the future, but it doesn't right now

I will try that. Thanks @neat plaza ! If I still need help on this thread in the coming days, would I continue this thread or start a new one?

I'm not sure how the staff on this discord operates and if y'all take turns. I don't want to constantly ping you @neat plaza if you're off.

the thread will auto archive after a while. I'd recommend just asking your (probably) new question in the channel again
