Stripe Integration
Add payment functionality to your Creatr web applications using Stripe Payment Links.
Overview
Stripe integration enables you to add payment capabilities to your Creatr-generated web applications without complex coding. By using Stripe Payment Links, you can quickly create payment options for products, services, subscriptions, or donations—all without handling sensitive payment information directly in your application.
What are Stripe Payment Links?
Stripe Payment Links are pre-built checkout pages hosted by Stripe that you can easily integrate into your website. They offer:
- Zero coding required: No need to build custom checkout forms
- Secure handling: All payment processing happens on Stripe’s secure servers
- Multiple payment methods: Support for credit cards, digital wallets, and more
- Customization options: Ability to match your brand with logos and colors
- Instant setup: Create and deploy payment options in minutes
