Intro to Stripe

Stripe is a payment platform. This integration lets your WeWeb backend work with Stripe so you can sell products, collect one-time or recurring payments, and react to payment events—all without handling card numbers yourself.

What you can do

• One-time payments — Charge a customer once (e.g. for a product or service) using Stripe Checkout (hosted page) or a custom payment form (Payment Intents). Create, confirm, capture, and cancel a payment from your backend.
• Subscriptions — Charge repeatedly (e.g. monthly plans) via Checkout or by creating subscriptions from your backend, then pause, resume, or cancel them as plans change.
• Products and prices — Create and manage your catalog in Stripe from WeWeb.
• Invoices — Create invoices, add line items (one-off charges, credits), then finalize, send, pay, or void them.
• Refunds — Refund a payment in full or in part, and follow it through to its outcome.
• Tables — Show Stripe records (customers, invoices, subscriptions, and more) in a Data Grid, without copying them into your database.
• Webhooks — Run workflows when something happens in Stripe (e.g. payment succeeded, subscription canceled).

Learn step by step

Follow these pages in order if you’re new to Stripe in WeWeb:

1. Setup — Connect Stripe to WeWeb and avoid common mistakes.
2. Choose how to collect payments — Stripe Checkout (hosted page) vs Payment Intents (custom form).
3. Stripe Checkout — Send customers to Stripe’s page to pay (easiest path).
4. Payment Intents and subscriptions — One-time payments with a form in your app, and recurring subscriptions.
5. Webhooks — React to Stripe events (e.g. grant access when payment succeeds).
6. Workflow examples — Real-world flows (one-time payment, subscription, refund, grant access).

When you need the full list of actions and every parameter:

• Stripe as a data source — Show Stripe records in tables and Data Grids.
• Actions reference — All Stripe actions and their inputs/outputs.
• Errors and FAQs — Error codes, troubleshooting, and limitations.

Quick setup

1. In Stripe, create or copy your API keys (use test keys for development).
2. In WeWeb, open the Data & API tab, then open the Integrations subtab and add Stripe. Create a connection and fill in:
   • Publishable Key
   • Secret Key or Restricted Key
3. Do this for each environment you use (Editor, Staging, Production).
4. Test with a simple action (e.g. List Products) to confirm the connection works.
