Frequently Asked Questions
How can this Stripe integration benefit my WordPress-based business?
This Stripe integration for WordPress can significantly enhance your online business operations. It allows you to create custom payment pages directly within your WordPress site, offering a seamless checkout experience for your customers. Whether you're selling products, services, or subscriptions, this integration supports various payment models. By using this template, you can maintain brand consistency throughout the checkout process and potentially increase conversion rates by keeping customers on your site.
Can I use this template for both one-time payments and recurring subscriptions?
Yes, absolutely. The Stripe integration template is versatile and can handle both one-time payments and recurring subscriptions. In the backend code, you'll notice that the create_checkout_session
function sets up a Stripe checkout session with mode='subscription'
. However, this can be easily modified to support one-time payments by changing the mode to 'payment'
. This flexibility allows you to implement various pricing strategies to suit your business model.
How does this integration handle UTM parameters for tracking marketing efforts?
The Stripe integration template is designed with marketing attribution in mind. It automatically captures UTM parameters (source, medium, campaign, term, and content) from the URL and passes them to the Stripe checkout session. This information is then stored in the session's metadata, allowing you to track the effectiveness of your marketing campaigns. You can access this data in your Stripe dashboard or through webhooks for further analysis and reporting.
How can I customize the appearance of the Stripe checkout form in WordPress?
The Stripe checkout form's appearance can be customized using Stripe's built-in options. In the frontend JavaScript code, you can modify the initEmbeddedCheckout
function to include appearance options. Here's an example:
javascript
const checkout = await stripe.initEmbeddedCheckout({
clientSecret,
appearance: {
theme: 'stripe',
variables: {
colorPrimary: '#0570de',
colorBackground: '#ffffff',
colorText: '#30313d',
colorDanger: '#df1b41',
fontFamily: 'Ideal Sans, system-ui, sans-serif',
spacingUnit: '2px',
borderRadius: '4px',
},
},
});
This allows you to match the checkout form's style with your WordPress theme for a cohesive look and feel.
How can I handle errors or failed payments in this Stripe integration?
The template includes error handling for both the backend and frontend. On the backend, Stripe errors are caught and logged, then returned as HTTP exceptions. You can extend this by implementing more detailed error responses or notifications.
For the frontend, you can add error handling to the initialize
function. Here's an example:
javascript
async function initialize() {
try {
// ... existing code ...
} catch (error) {
console.error('Error:', error);
// Display error message to user
document.getElementById('error-message').textContent = 'An error occurred. Please try again.';
}
}
Additionally, you can set up Stripe webhooks to handle post-payment events like successful payments, failed payments, or disputes, allowing you to take appropriate actions such as updating order statuses or sending notifications.

Introduction to the Stripe Integration Template for WordPress
This template is designed to help you integrate Stripe payment processing into a WordPress site. It provides a backend service using FastAPI to create and manage Stripe checkout sessions, and frontend code to embed the Stripe checkout experience into your WordPress page. This guide will walk you through the steps to set up and use this template on the Lazy platform.
Getting Started
To begin using this template, click "Start with this Template" on the Lazy platform. This will pre-populate the code in the Lazy Builder interface, so you won't need to copy or paste any code manually.
Initial Setup
Before testing the app, you'll need to set up some environment secrets within the Lazy Builder:
- STRIPE_SECRET_KEY: Your Stripe secret API key. You can find this in your Stripe dashboard under Developers > API keys.
- YOUR_DOMAIN: The domain of your website where the Stripe checkout will be redirected after payment. For example, "https://www.yourwebsite.com".
These values are not stored in your operating system but are set in the Environment Secrets tab within the Lazy Builder.
Test: Pressing the Test Button
Once you have set up the environment secrets, press the "Test" button in the Lazy Builder. This will deploy the app and launch the Lazy CLI. If the code requires any user input, you will be prompted to provide it through the Lazy CLI.
Entering Input
If the code requires user input, you will be prompted for it after pressing the "Test" button. Follow the instructions in the Lazy CLI to enter the necessary information.
Using the App
After deployment, Lazy will provide you with a dedicated server link to use the API. If you're using FastAPI, Lazy will also provide a link to the API documentation.
Integrating the App into WordPress
To integrate the backend service into your WordPress site, you'll need to add the provided frontend code to your WordPress payment page. Here's how:
- Log in to your WordPress dashboard and navigate to the page where you want to add the payment functionality.
- Edit the page and insert the provided frontend script just before the
</body>
tag. - Replace
"PUBLISHABLE STRIPE API KEY"
with your actual publishable API key from Stripe. - Replace
"LAZY SERVER LINK"
with the endpoint URL of your published app that you received after pressing the "Test" button. - Replace
"PRICE_ID"
with the actual price ID you want to use for the transaction. You can find this in your Stripe dashboard under Products.
Here is the script you need to add to your WordPress page:
`
` After adding this script to your WordPress page, your custom Stripe payment page will be ready to accept payments.
Remember to test the payment flow thoroughly to ensure everything is working as expected before going live with your new payment page.
