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

​
Integration Process

​
1. Create a Stripe Account

Before integrating, you’ll need to sign up for a Stripe account if you don’t already have one.
  1. Log in to your Stripe Dashboard
  2. Navigate to Products → Payment Links
  3. Click “Create a Payment Link”
  4. Configure your product or service:
    • Set a name, description, and price
    • Add images and customize the appearance
    • Configure one-time payments or recurring subscriptions
  5. Customize checkout options:
    • Add form fields for collecting customer information
    • Set up post-payment redirects
    • Configure email receipts
  6. Click “Create link” to generate your payment URL
Once you have created your payment link, you can add it to your Creatr application in several ways:

​
Option 1: Add a Payment Button

Use Creatr’s prompt capabilities to add a payment button: 
"Add a 'Buy Now' button that links to my Stripe payment URL: https://buy.stripe.com/your-payment-link"

​
Option 2: Create a Complete Product Page

For a more comprehensive solution: 
"Create a product page with images, description, and a checkout button that links to my Stripe payment URL: https://buy.stripe.com/your-payment-link"

​
Option 3: Embed Multiple Payment Options

For websites offering various products or services: 
"Create a pricing page with three tiers (Basic, Pro, Enterprise) and connect each tier's 'Subscribe' button to these Stripe payment links: [Basic: URL1, Pro: URL2, Enterprise: URL3]"

​
Tips for Effective Implementation

​
Testing Your Integration

Always test your payment flow using Stripe’s test mode before going live:
  • Use Stripe’s test card numbers to simulate transactions
  • Verify that post-payment redirects work correctly
  • Check that confirmation emails are being sent

​
Optimizing Conversion Rate

  • Use clear, action-oriented button text (“Buy Now”, “Subscribe”, “Pay”)
  • Place payment buttons in prominent locations
  • Include trust indicators near payment options (security badges, testimonials)
  • Ensure mobile compatibility for all payment flows

​
Managing Orders

After payment, you can:
  • Set up email notifications for new orders
  • Access payment details in your Stripe Dashboard
  • Export transaction data for your records
