Build two-step confirmation
Add an optional review page or run validations after a user enters their payment details.
While we recommend the standard integration for most scenarios, this integration allows you to add an extra step in your checkout. This provides the buyer an opportunity to review their order details or for you to run additional validations before confirming the order.
Set up Stripe
First, you need a Stripe account. Register now.
Use our official libraries for access to the Stripe API from your application:
Enable payment methods
Mise en garde
This integration path doesn’t support BLIK or pre-authorized debits that use the Automated Clearing Settlement System (ACSS).
View your payment methods settings and enable the payment methods you want to support. You need at least one payment method enabled to create a PaymentIntent.
By default, Stripe enables cards and other prevalent payment methods that can help you reach more customers, but we recommend turning on additional payment methods that are relevant for your business and customers. See Payment method support for product and payment method support, and our pricing page for fees.
Collect payment detailsClient-side
You’re ready to collect payment details on the client with the Payment Element. The Payment Element is a prebuilt UI component that simplifies collecting payment details for a variety of payment methods.
The Payment Element contains an iframe that securely sends payment information to Stripe over an HTTPS connection. Avoid placing the Payment Element within another iframe because some payment methods require redirecting to another page for payment confirmation.
The checkout page address must start with https://
rather than http://
for your integration to work. You can test your integration without using HTTPS, but remember to enable it when you’re ready to accept live payments.
The Payment Element renders a dynamic form that allows your customer to pick a payment method. The form automatically collects all necessary payments details for the payment method selected by the customer.
You can customize the Payment Element to match the design of your site by passing the appearance object into options
when creating the Elements
provider.
Collect addresses
By default, the Payment Element only collects the necessary billing address details. To collect a customer’s full billing address (to calculate the tax for digital goods and services, for example) or shipping address, use the Address Element.
Create a ConfirmationTokenClient-side
Use createPaymentMethod through a legacy implementation
If you’re using a legacy implementation, you might be using the information from stripe.
to finalize payments on the server. Although we encourage you to follow this guide to Migrate to Confirmation Tokens, you can still access our old documentation to Build a two-step confirmation experience.
When the customer submits your payment form, call stripe.createConfirmationToken to create a ConfirmationToken to send to your server for additional validation or business logic before confirmation. You can inspect the payment_
field to run the additional logic.
Show the payment details on the confirmation page
At this point, you have all of the information you need to render the confirmation page. Call the server to obtain the necessary information and render the confirmation page accordingly.
Create a PaymentIntentServer-side
Run custom business logic immediately before payment confirmation
Navigate to step 5 in the finalize payments guide to run your custom business logic immediately before payment confirmation. Otherwise, follow the steps below for a simpler integration, which uses stripe.
on the client to both confirm the payment and handle any next actions.
When the customer submits your payment form, use a PaymentIntent to facilitate the confirmation and payment process. Create a PaymentIntent on your server with an amount
and currency
enabled. In the latest version of the API, specifying the automatic_
parameter is optional because Stripe enables its functionality by default. You can manage payment methods from the Dashboard. Stripe handles the return of eligible payment methods based on factors such as the transaction’s amount, currency, and payment flow. To prevent malicious customers from choosing their own prices, always decide how much to charge on the server-side (a trusted environment) and not the client.
Included on a PaymentIntent is a client secret. Return this value to your client for Stripe.js to use to securely complete the payment process.
Submit the payment to StripeClient-side
Use stripe.confirmPayment to complete the payment using details from the Payment Element.
Provide the confirmation_
parameter with the ID of the ConfirmationToken you created on the previous page, which contains the payment information collected from the Payment Element.
Provide a return_url to this function to indicate where Stripe redirects the user after they complete the payment. Your user might be initially redirected to an intermediate site, such as a bank authorization page, before being redirected to the return_
. Card payments immediately redirect to the return_
when a payment is successful.
If you don’t want to redirect for card payments after payment completion, you can set redirect to if_
. This only redirects customers that check out with redirect-based payment methods.
Disclose Stripe to your customers
Stripe collects information on customer interactions with Elements to provide services to you, prevent fraud, and improve its services. This includes using cookies and IP addresses to identify which Elements a customer saw during a single checkout session. You’re responsible for disclosing and obtaining all rights and consents necessary for Stripe to use data in these ways. For more information, visit our privacy center.
