Stripe Checkout Page in Python & FastAPI

How can this Custom Stripe Checkout Page template benefit my business?

The Custom Stripe Checkout Page template offers several benefits for businesses: - Seamless integration of Stripe payments into your Python application - Flexibility to handle various payment types, including one-time payments and subscriptions - Ability to track UTM parameters for marketing attribution - Customizable checkout experience to match your brand - Secure handling of payment information through Stripe's trusted infrastructure

Can I use this template for both physical and digital products?

Yes, the Custom Stripe Checkout Page template is versatile and can be used for both physical and digital products. Whether you're selling tangible goods, digital downloads, or subscription services, this template can be adapted to suit your needs. The key is to configure the appropriate Stripe product and price IDs in your backend to match your offerings.

How does this template help with marketing attribution?

The Custom Stripe Checkout Page template includes functionality to capture and pass UTM parameters (utm_source, utm_medium, utm_campaign, utm_term, utm_content) throughout the checkout process. This allows you to track the effectiveness of your marketing campaigns by attributing sales to specific channels or campaigns. The UTM parameters are captured in the frontend, sent to the backend, and then stored as metadata in the Stripe checkout session.

How can I modify the template to include custom fields in the checkout process?

To include custom fields in the checkout process using this template, you'll need to modify both the backend and frontend code. Here's an example of how you might add a "customer_name" field:

Backend (main.py): ```python class Data(BaseModel): # ... existing fields ... customer_name: str = Field(..., min_length=1)

@app.post('/create-checkout-session') def create_checkout_session(data: Data): # ... existing code ... session = stripe.checkout.Session.create( # ... existing parameters ... metadata={utm_params, 'customer_name': data.customer_name}, ) # ... rest of the function ... ```

Frontend (JavaScript): javascript async function initialize() { // ... existing code ... const customerName = document.getElementById('customer-name').value; const response = await fetch("LAZY SERVER LINK/create-checkout-session", { method: "POST", headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' }, body: JSON.stringify({ months, price: 'PRICE_ID', ...utmParams, customer_name: customerName }) }); // ... rest of the function ... }

Remember to add an input field for the customer name in your HTML as well.

How can I handle different subscription durations with this template?

To handle different subscription durations, you can modify the template to accept a duration parameter and use different Stripe price IDs based on the selected duration. Here's an example of how you might implement this:

Backend (main.py): ```python class Data(BaseModel): # ... existing fields ... duration: str = Field(..., regex='^(monthly|yearly)$')

@app.post('/create-checkout-session') def create_checkout_session(data: Data): price_id = 'PRICE_ID_MONTHLY' if data.duration == 'monthly' else 'PRICE_ID_YEARLY' # ... existing code ... session = stripe.checkout.Session.create( # ... existing parameters ... line_items=[{'price': price_id, 'quantity': 1}], ) # ... rest of the function ... ```

Frontend (JavaScript): javascript async function initialize() { // ... existing code ... const duration = document.querySelector('input[name="duration"]:checked').value; const response = await fetch("LAZY SERVER LINK/create-checkout-session", { method: "POST", headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' }, body: JSON.stringify({ months, price: 'PRICE_ID', // This will be overridden in the backend duration: duration, ...utmParams }) }); // ... rest of the function ... }

In this example, you would need to set up different price IDs in your Stripe account for monthly and yearly subscriptions, and replace 'PRICE_ID_MONTHLY' and 'PRICE_ID_YEARLY' with the actual IDs.
