Is it possible to retrieve the items, price, and quantity from the shopping cart in my Python code when using a Stripe Gateway checkout on Webflow for integration with iDeal in the Netherlands?

No, it is not currently possible to retrieve the cart items, price, and quantity directly in your Python code from Webflow when using Stripe Gateway checkout. Webflow does not expose a direct API or webhook that shares cart-level metadata before the checkout with Stripe, especially when integrating external payment types like iDEAL.

1. Webflow Ecommerce Limitations

• Webflow does not offer public APIs to access cart-level data (items, quantity, price) during or before checkout.
• Cart data is client-side only, and not sent to your server or accessible by backend scripts.
• Stripe checkout integration in Webflow is handled entirely by Webflow. You cannot intercept or customize the payload sent to Stripe, including adding line items or cart data manually.

2. Stripe Checkout with iDEAL on Webflow

• When using Stripe as a payment gateway in Webflow, any supported Stripe payment method (like iDEAL) can be enabled in your Stripe dashboard.
• Webflow sends the cart data to Stripe, but you have no direct access in your own code to modify or read that data before submission.

3. Alternative Workaround Options

If you need to use Python to process cart data for custom workflows or external integrations:

• Option A: Build your own checkout outside Webflow
  Use a custom front-end to collect cart data, then create a custom Stripe Checkout Session via your Python backend. This gives you full control over line items, metadata, and payment methods (including iDEAL).

• Option B: Use Webflow Forms with Zapier/Make to Capture Cart Data
  If cart functionality is minimal, recreate it using forms and pass data to your backend or automation tool.

• Option C: Webflow Ecommerce Webhooks
  Use Webflow Ecommerce Webhooks — for example, the Order Created webhook fires after checkout. Though after-the-fact, it includes order details (items, quantity, total). You can process this data in Python on receipt.

4. iDEAL Support via Stripe on Webflow

• Stripe automatically supports iDEAL if your account and customer region meet the requirements.
• Webflow does not allow you to customize the Stripe Checkout session, so if iDEAL is presented depends entirely on Stripe.

Summary

You cannot directly access Webflow cart data in your Python code before checkout when using Stripe (including iDEAL). To gain full control, either use a custom checkout with Stripe’s API or process data via Webflow’s post-purchase webhooks.
