How can I integrate Stripe with Webflow and ensure it works properly?

You can integrate Stripe with Webflow using Webflow’s native eCommerce settings or by using third-party tools for advanced setups. Here’s how to do both and ensure everything functions correctly.

1. Use Webflow’s Native eCommerce (Recommended for Products)

• Go to Project Settings → eCommerce.
• Under Payment Providers, click Connect Stripe.
• You’ll be redirected to Stripe’s website—log in or create a Stripe account.
• Follow the prompts to authorize the Webflow integration.
• Once done, you'll return to Webflow and see Stripe listed as a connected provider.

2. Test Your Stripe Integration

• Enable test mode on Stripe by toggling on the Test mode switch inside your Stripe dashboard.
• In Webflow, use the Preview mode or publish your site to a staging domain.
• Place a test order using Stripe’s test card numbers (e.g., 4242 4242 4242 4242).
• Check your order in both Webflow’s Orders tab and your Stripe Dashboard under Payments.

3. Use Stripe for Non-eCommerce Payments (e.g., Donations, Subscriptions)

If you're not using Webflow eCommerce and just want to collect payments:

• Use a third-party integration tool like:
• Memberstack – for gated content and recurring billing.
• Outseta – for subscription management and user accounts.
• Jetboost + custom Stripe Checkout buttons – for simple payments.
• Or embed a Stripe Checkout link:
• In Stripe, create a Payment Link or a Hosted Checkout Session.
• Copy the public link and add it to a Button’s URL field in Webflow.
• Make sure to open the link in the same or new tab, depending on the user flow you prefer.

4. Verify the Webflow–Stripe Connection

• Check your Stripe Dashboard to confirm payments are recorded.
• Confirm order data shows up in Webflow’s Orders tab.
• Ensure email confirmations (from Webflow or Stripe) are being delivered correctly.
• Test mobile responsiveness and load time for payment pages (especially with third-party embeds).

5. Go Live with Real Payments

• In Webflow, toggle off the Test Mode under eCommerce settings before going live.
• In Stripe, flip the switch from test to Live mode.
• Use real cards to place a live transaction and verify that orders go through.

Summary

To integrate Stripe with Webflow, connect it under Project Settings → eCommerce and test with Stripe’s sandbox tools. For non-eCommerce use, embed hosted Stripe links or use tools like Memberstack. Always conduct thorough testing before switching to live mode.
