Install the Stripe app for Salesforce B2C Commerce Shopfront architecture
Learn about the Stripe app for Salesforce B2C Commerce Shopfront reference architecture.
Stripe Payment Element modifies the default Commerce Cloud credit card collection and processing by using Stripe.js, a JavaScript library, to securely tokenise credit card data. Payments are then processed using the tokenised data, instead of raw credit card information.
During checkout, the cartridge creates a PaymentIntent for any new cards or alternate payment methods that a customer enters. This tokenised data generates a Stripe Charge at the point of purchase.
Stripe.js
When customers enter credit card or other payment information on the storefront, Stripe.js tokenizes it in interactions between Stripe and the client (browser). Unmasked credit card data is therefore never sent to the Commerce Cloud servers.
Stripe PaymentIntent
The PaymentIntent workflow guides you through the process of collecting a payment from your customer. A PaymentIntent transitions through multiple statuses throughout its lifetime as it interfaces with Stripe.js to perform authentication flows and creates, at most, one successful charge.
The system creates a Stripe Charge (authorise or capture, based on Business Manager configuration) from a successfully created and submitted Basket. All Stripe Charges are created against a Stripe payment source.
AVS auto-fail transactions
Site administrators can select from a variety of AVS statuses to auto fail an order. If the Stripe charge returns any of the selected statuses for either address_ or address_, the order auto-fails and the Stripe charge reversed. You can also manage these settings in the Stripe Dashboard.
Compatibility
Available since Commerce Cloud Platform Release 16.8, SFRA version 4.4. The cartridge is available for installation on storefronts that support both controller and SFRA SiteGenesis implementations.
Privacy
Commerce Cloud doesn’t store any unmasked credit card data. The cartridge tokenizes all payment data within direct client-to-Stripe communications and obscures any sensitive credit card data before it arrives on the Commerce Cloud servers. Similarly, all credit card data that Commerce Cloud retrieves from the Stripe servers is either masked, tokenized, or both.
