# Accept in-app payments Build a customized payments integration in your iOS, Android, or React Native app using the Payment Sheet. The Payment Sheet is a customizable component that displays a list of payment methods and collects payment details in your app using a bottom sheet. > #### Accounts v2 API support > > The Payment Sheet doesn’t support *customer-configured Accounts* (Account configurations represent role-based functionality that you can enable for accounts, such as merchant, customer, or recipient). It only supports `Customer` objects. # Accept a payment and save the payment method Use the [Payment Intents API](https://docs.stripe.com/api/payment_intents.md) to save payment details from a purchase. There are several use cases: - Charge a customer for an e-commerce order and store the details for future purchases. - Initiate the first payment of a series of recurring payments. - Charge a deposit and store the details to charge the full amount later. > #### Card-present transactions > > Card-present transactions, such as payments through Stripe Terminal, use a different process for saving the payment method. For details, see [the Terminal documentation](https://docs.stripe.com/terminal/features/saving-payment-details/save-after-payment.md). ## Compliance You’re responsible for your compliance with all applicable laws, regulations, and network rules when saving a customer’s payment details for future use, such as displaying a customer’s payment method to them in the checkout flow for a future purchase or charging them when they’re not actively using your website or app. Before saving or charging a customer’s payment method, make sure you: - Add terms to your website or app that state how you plan to save payment method details, such as: - The customer’s agreement allowing you to initiate a payment or a series of payments on their behalf for specified transactions. - The anticipated timing and frequency of payments (for example, if the charges are for scheduled installments, subscription payments, or unscheduled top-ups). - How you determine the payment amount. - Your cancellation policy, if the payment method is for a subscription service. - Use a saved payment method for only the purpose stated in your terms. - Collect explicit consent from the customer for this specific use. For example, include a "Save my payment method for future checkbox. - Keep a record of your customer’s written agreement to your terms. ## Set up Stripe [Server-side] [Client-side] ### Server-side This integration requires endpoints on your server that talk to the Stripe API. Use our official libraries for access to the Stripe API from your server: #### Ruby ```bash # Available as a gem sudo gem install stripe ``` ```ruby # If you use bundler, you can add this line to your Gemfile gem 'stripe' ``` ### Client-side The [React Native SDK](https://github.com/stripe/stripe-react-native) is open source and fully documented. Internally, it uses the [native iOS](https://github.com/stripe/stripe-ios) and [Android](https://github.com/stripe/stripe-android) SDKs. To install Stripe’s React Native SDK, run one of the following commands in your project’s directory (depending on which package manager you use): #### yarn ```bash yarn add @stripe/stripe-react-native ``` #### npm ```bash npm install @stripe/stripe-react-native ``` Next, install some other necessary dependencies: - For iOS, go to the **ios** directory and run `pod install` to ensure that you also install the required native dependencies. - For Android, there are no more dependencies to install. > We recommend following the [official TypeScript guide](https://reactnative.dev/docs/typescript#adding-typescript-to-an-existing-project) to add TypeScript support. ### Stripe initialization To initialize Stripe in your React Native app, either wrap your payment screen with the `StripeProvider` component, or use the `initStripe` initialization method. Only the API [publishable key](https://docs.stripe.com/keys.md#obtain-api-keys) in `publishableKey` is required. The following example shows how to initialize Stripe using the `StripeProvider` component. ```jsx import { useState, useEffect } from 'react'; import { StripeProvider } from '@stripe/stripe-react-native'; function App() { const [publishableKey, setPublishableKey] = useState(''); const fetchPublishableKey = async () => { const key = await fetchKey(); // fetch key from your server here setPublishableKey(key); }; useEffect(() => { fetchPublishableKey(); }, []); return ( {/* Your app code here */} ); } ``` > Use your API [test keys](https://docs.stripe.com/keys.md#obtain-api-keys) while you test and develop, and your [live mode](https://docs.stripe.com/keys.md#test-live-modes) keys when you publish your app. ## Enable payment methods View your [payment methods settings](https://dashboard.stripe.com/settings/payment_methods) and enable the payment methods you want to support. You need at least one payment method enabled to create a *PaymentIntent* (The Payment Intents API tracks the lifecycle of a customer checkout flow and triggers additional authentication steps when required by regulatory mandates, custom Radar fraud rules, or redirect-based payment methods). 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](https://docs.stripe.com/payments/payment-methods/payment-method-support.md) for product and payment method support, and our [pricing page](https://stripe.com/pricing/local-payment-methods) for fees. ## Set up a return URL [Client-side] When a customer exits your app (for example to authenticate in Safari or their banking app), provide a way for them to automatically return to your app. Many payment method types *require* a return URL. If you don’t provide one, we can’t present payment methods that require a return URL to your users, even if you’ve enabled them. To provide a return URL: 1. [Register](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode/defining-a-custom-url-scheme-for-your-app#Register-your-URL-scheme) a custom URL. Universal links aren’t supported. 1. [Configure](https://reactnative.dev/docs/linking) your custom URL. 1. Set up your root component to forward the URL to the Stripe SDK as shown below. > If you’re using Expo, [set your scheme](https://docs.expo.io/guides/linking/#in-a-standalone-app) in the `app.json` file. ```jsx import { useEffect, useCallback } from 'react'; import { Linking, View } from 'react-native'; import { useStripe } from '@stripe/stripe-react-native'; export default function MyApp() { const { handleURLCallback } = useStripe(); const handleDeepLink = useCallback( async (url: string | null) => { if (url) { const stripeHandled = await handleURLCallback(url); if (stripeHandled) { // This was a Stripe URL - you can return or add extra handling here as you see fit } else { // This was NOT a Stripe URL – handle as you normally would } } }, [handleURLCallback] ); useEffect(() => { const getUrlAsync = async () => { const initialUrl = await Linking.getInitialURL(); handleDeepLink(initialUrl); }; getUrlAsync(); const deepLinkListener = Linking.addEventListener( 'url', (event: { url: string }) => { handleDeepLink(event.url); } ); return () => deepLinkListener.remove(); }, [handleDeepLink]); return ( ); } ``` Additionally, set the `returnURL` when you call the `initPaymentSheet` method: ```js await initPaymentSheet({ ... returnURL: 'your-app://stripe-redirect', ... }); ``` For more information on native URL schemes, refer to the [Android](https://developer.android.com/training/app-links/deep-linking) and [iOS](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode/allowing_apps_and_websites_to_link_to_your_content/defining_a_custom_url_scheme_for_your_app) docs. ## Collect payment details [Client-side] The integration can use the default payment flow or a custom flow. | Default | Custom flow | | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | ![PaymentSheet](https://b.stripecdn.com/docs-statics-srv/assets/ios-overview.9e0d68d009dc005f73a6f5df69e00458.png) | ![Custom flow](https://b.stripecdn.com/docs-statics-srv/assets/ios-multi-step.cd631ea4f1cd8cf3f39b6b9e1e92b6c5.png) | | Displays a sheet to collect payment details and complete the payment. The button in the sheet says **Pay $X** and completes the payment. | Displays a sheet to collect payment details only. The button in the sheet says **Continue** and returns the customer to your app, where your own button completes payment. | #### Default ### Initialize PaymentSheet When you’re ready to take a payment, for example, when a customer checks out, initialize the PaymentSheet with an `intentConfiguration`. The `intentConfiguration` object contains details about the specific payment, such as the amount and currency, and a `confirmHandler` callback. ```jsx import {View, Button} from 'react-native'; import { useStripe, useEffect, IntentCreationCallbackParams } from '@stripe/stripe-react-native'; export default function CheckoutScreen() {const { initPaymentSheet, presentPaymentSheet } = useStripe(); const initializePaymentSheet = async () => { const { error } = await initPaymentSheet({ merchantDisplayName: "Example, Inc.", intentConfiguration: {mode: { amount: 1099, currencyCode: 'USD',setupFutureUse: 'OffSession',},confirmHandler: confirmHandler } }); if (error) { // handle error } }; useEffect(() => { initializePaymentSheet(); }, []); const confirmHandler = async ( confirmationToken, intentCreationCallback: (params: IntentCreationCallbackParams) => void ) => { // explained later } const didTapCheckoutButton = async () => { // implement later } return (
