2 Create a Checkout Session Server-side

To create a setup mode Session, use the mode parameter with a value of setup when creating the Session. See the Checkout Session API reference for a complete list of parameters that you can use for Session creation.

Append the {CHECKOUT_SESSION_ID} template variable to the success_url to get access to the Session ID after your customer successfully completes a Checkout Session.

Finally, use the setup_intent_data.metadata dictionary to pass your customer’s existing Stripe subscription_id to the Checkout Session. Note that there other ways to pass this data to your server, but we’ll use metadata for this guide.

curl https://api.stripe.com/v1/checkout/sessions \
  -u sk_test_4eC39HqLyjWDarjtT1zdp7dc: \
  -d "payment_method_types[]"=card \
  -d mode=setup \
  -d customer=cus_FOsk5sbh3ZQpAU \
  -d "setup_intent_data[metadata][subscription_id]"=sub_8epEF0PuRhmltU \
  -d success_url="https://example.com/success?session_id={CHECKOUT_SESSION_ID}" \
  -d cancel_url="https://example.com/cancel"

3 Redirect to Checkout Client-side

Checkout relies on Stripe.js, Stripe’s foundational JavaScript library for building payment flows.

To get started, include the following script tag on your website—always load it directly from https://js.stripe.com. You can’t include it in a bundle or host it yourself. See Stripe samples for examples.

<script src="https://js.stripe.com/v3/"></script>

npm install @stripe/stripe-js

Next, create an instance of the Stripe object by providing your publishable API key as the first parameter:

var stripe = Stripe('pk_test_TYooMQauvdEDq54NiTphI7jx');

import {loadStripe} from '@stripe/stripe-js';

const stripe = await loadStripe('pk_test_TYooMQauvdEDq54NiTphI7jx');

To use Checkout on your website, you must add a snippet of code that includes the Session id from the previous step. When your customer is ready to save or update their payment method, call redirectToCheckout and provide the Session id as a parameter.

var checkoutButton = document.getElementById('checkout-button');

checkoutButton.addEventListener('click', function() {
  stripe.redirectToCheckout({
    // Make the id field from the Checkout Session creation API response
    // available to this file, so you can provide it as argument here
    // instead of the {{CHECKOUT_SESSION_ID}} placeholder.
    sessionId: '{{CHECKOUT_SESSION_ID}}'
  }).then(function (result) {
    // If `redirectToCheckout` fails due to a browser or network
    // error, display the localized error message to your customer
    // using `result.error.message`.
  });
});
const checkoutButton = document.getElementById('checkout-button');

checkoutButton.addEventListener('click', () => {
  stripe.redirectToCheckout({
    // Make the id field from the Checkout Session creation API response
    // available to this file, so you can provide it as argument here
    // instead of the {{CHECKOUT_SESSION_ID}} placeholder.
    sessionId: '{{CHECKOUT_SESSION_ID}}'
  })
  // If `redirectToCheckout` fails due to a browser or network
  // error, display the localized error message to your customer
  // using `error.message`.
});

To get started, install the Stripe.js module. Always load Stripe.js directly from https://js.stripe.com. You can’t include it in a bundle or host it yourself.

npm install @stripe/stripe-js

Add Stripe.js to your page

Call loadStripe with your publishable key. It returns a Promise that resolves with the Stripe object once Stripe.js has loaded.

When your customer is ready to save or update their payment method, call redirectToCheckout and provide the Session id as a parameter.

import React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
import { loadStripe } from '@stripe/stripe-js';
// Make sure to call `loadStripe` outside of a component’s render to avoid
// recreating the `Stripe` object on every render.
const stripePromise = loadStripe('pk_test_TYooMQauvdEDq54NiTphI7jx');

function App() {
  const handleClick = async (event) => {
    // Call your backend to create the Checkout session.
    const { sessionId } = await fetchCheckoutSession();
    // When the customer clicks on the button, redirect them to Checkout.
    const stripe = await stripePromise;
    const { error } = await stripe.redirectToCheckout({
      sessionId,
    });
    // If `redirectToCheckout` fails due to a browser or network
    // error, display the localized error message to your customer
    // using `error.message`.
  };
  return (
    <button role="link" onClick={handleClick}>
      Checkout
    </button>
  );
}
ReactDOM.render(<App />, document.getElementById('root'));

This code is typically invoked from an event handler that triggers in response to an action taken by your customer, such as clicking on a payment button.

4 Retrieve the Checkout Session Server-side

After a customer successfully completes their Checkout Session, you need to retrieve the Session object. There are two ways to do this:

  • Asynchronously: Handle checkout.session.completed webhooks, which contain a Session object. Learn more about setting up webhooks.
  • Synchronously: Obtain the sessionId from the URL when a user redirects back to your site (appended to the success_url) and retrieve the Session object.

var service = new SessionService();
var session = service.Get("cs_test_MlZAaTXUMHjWZ7DcXjusJnDU4MxPalbtL5eYrmS2GKxqscDtpJq8QM0k");

The right choice depends on your tolerance for dropoff, as customers may not always reach the success_url after a successful payment. It’s possible for them close their browser tab before the redirect occurs. Handling webhooks prevents your integration from being susceptible to this form of dropoff.

After you have retrieved the Session object, get the value of the setup_intent key, which is the ID for the SetupIntent created during the Checkout Session. A SetupIntent is an object used to set up the customer’s bank account information for future payments.

Example checkout.session.completed payload:

{
  "id": "evt_1Ep24XHssDVaQm2PpwS19Yt0",
  "object": "event",
  "api_version": "2019-03-14",
  "created": 1561420781,
  "data": {
    "object": {
      "id": "cs_test_MlZAaTXUMHjWZ7DcXjusJnDU4MxPalbtL5eYrmS2GKxqscDtpJq8QM0k",
      "object": "checkout.session",
      "billing_address_collection": null,

}

Note the customer ID, subscription_id, and payment_method ID for the next steps.

6 Set a default payment method Server-side

There are two ways to ensure that a payment method is used for future invoices:

  • Set it as the Customer’s invoice_settings.default_payment_method
  • Set it as the Subscription’s default_payment_method

Setting invoice_settings.default_payment_method on the Customer will cause all future invoices for that customer to be paid with the specified payment method.

Setting default_payment_method on the Subscription will cause all future invoices for that subscription to be paid with the specified payment method, overriding any invoice_settings.default_payment_method set on the associated Customer.

Set invoice_settings.default_payment_method on the Customer

Using the customer ID and the PaymentMethod ID you retrieved, set the invoice_settings.default_payment_method for the Customer using the /v1/customers/:id endpoint.

curl https://api.stripe.com/v1/customers/cus_FOsk5sbh3ZQpAU \
  -u sk_test_4eC39HqLyjWDarjtT1zdp7dc: \
  -d "invoice_settings[default_payment_method]"=pm_1F0c9v2eZvKYlo2CJDeTrB4n

  'cus_FOsk5sbh3ZQpAU',
  {
    invoice_settings: {default_payment_method: 'pm_1F0c9v2eZvKYlo2CJDeTrB4n'},
  }
)

# Set your secret key. Remember to switch to your live secret key in production!
# See your keys here: https://dashboard.stripe.com/account/apikeys
stripe.api_key = 'sk_test_4eC39HqLyjWDarjtT1zdp7dc'

stripe.Customer.modify(
  'cus_FOsk5sbh3ZQpAU',
  invoice_settings={'default_payment_method': 'pm_1F0c9v2eZvKYlo2CJDeTrB4n'}

  ]
);

// Set your secret key. Remember to switch to your live secret key in production!
// See your keys here: https://dashboard.stripe.com/account/apikeys
Stripe.apiKey = "sk_test_4eC39HqLyjWDarjtT1zdp7dc";

Customer customer = Customer.retrieve("cus_FOsk5sbh3ZQpAU");
Map<String, Object> invoiceSettings = new HashMap<>();
invoiceSettings.put("default_payment_method", "pm_1F0c9v2eZvKYlo2CJDeTrB4n");
Map<String, Object> params = new HashMap<>();
params.put("invoice_settings", invoiceSettings);
customer.update(params);

// Set your secret key. Remember to switch to your live secret key in production!
// See your keys here: https://dashboard.stripe.com/account/apikeys
const Stripe = require('stripe');
const stripe = Stripe('sk_test_4eC39HqLyjWDarjtT1zdp7dc');

const customer = await stripe.customers.update('cus_FOsk5sbh3ZQpAU', {
  invoice_settings: {
    default_payment_method: 'pm_1F0c9v2eZvKYlo2CJDeTrB4n',
  },
});

    },
}

c, _ := customer.Update("cus_FOsk5sbh3ZQpAU", params)

// Set your secret key. Remember to switch to your live secret key in production!
// See your keys here: https://dashboard.stripe.com/account/apikeys
StripeConfiguration.ApiKey = "sk_test_4eC39HqLyjWDarjtT1zdp7dc";

var options = new CustomerUpdateOptions
{
    InvoiceSettings = new CustomerInvoiceSettingsOptions
    {
        DefaultPaymentMethod = "pm_1F0c9v2eZvKYlo2CJDeTrB4n",
    },
};
var customerService = new CustomerService();
customerService.Update("cus_FOsk5sbh3ZQpAU", options);

All future invoices for this customer will now charge the new PaymentMethod created with the setup mode Checkout Session.
