How to integrate FlutterFlow with Stripe?

 

Step 1: Prerequisites

 
  • Before starting, ensure you have:
    • A FlutterFlow account
    • A Stripe account
    • Basic knowledge of Flutter and FlutterFlow
 

Step 2: Set Up Your Stripe Account

 
  • Create a Stripe Account: Go to Stripe and sign up for a new account if you don't have one.
  • API Keys: Navigate to the API keys section of your Stripe Dashboard.
    • You'll need both your Publishable Key and Secret Key.
    • Make sure you copy them as you’ll need to enter these keys into FlutterFlow later.
 

Step 3: Create Your FlutterFlow Project

 
  • Create a New Project: Log into your FlutterFlow account and create a new project if you haven’t already.
  • Configure Project Settings: Adjust necessary settings such as project name, description, and default language.
 

Step 4: Install FlutterFlow Stripe Integration

 
  • Navigate to widgets: In the FlutterFlow dashboard, go to the Widgets tab.
  • Add Stripe Package: Search for "Stripe" in the available packages and click on it to add. Follow the prompts to install the package in your project.
 

Step 5: Configure Stripe in Your FlutterFlow Project

 
  • Open Project Settings: Go to your project settings in FlutterFlow.
  • Enter API Keys: In the "API & Permissions" section, enter your Stripe Publishable Key and Secret Key that you copied earlier.
 

Step 6: Design Your Payment UI

 
  • Payment Screen: Design a screen dedicated to handling payments.
    • Add necessary widgets such as text fields, buttons, and labels.
    • Payment Form: Use the pre-built Stripe Card widget to create a payment form.
    • Add the Stripe Card widget to collect card information from users.
 

Step 7: Create Custom Actions

 
  • Add Custom Action: In the Actions section of FlutterFlow, add a new custom action.
  • Select Stripe: Choose Stripe from the list of available integrations.
  • Configure Action: Define the action settings:
    • Payment Amount: Set the amount you want to charge.
    • Currency: Define the currency type.
    • Description: Add a description for the payment.
  • Success and Error Handling: Define what happens after payment is successful or if it fails. Configure necessary widgets or actions to update UI accordingly.
 

Step 8: Integrate Payment Logic

 
  • Connect Payment Form: Link your payment form to the custom action defined in Step 7.
  • OnSubmit: Ensure that when the form is submitted, the payment action is triggered.
  • API Calls: Use FlutterFlow's custom API call feature to make requests to Stripe endpoints if needed. You may need to configure headers and payloads properly.
 

Step 9: Test Your Integration

 
  • Run in Test Mode: Before going live, run your application in test mode.
  • Use Test Keys: You can use Stripe's test API keys for this purpose.
  • Test Cards: Stripe provides test card numbers to simulate real card transactions.
  • Validate: Ensure all workflows function correctly - from entering payment details to receiving confirmation after a successful transaction.
 

Step 10: Go Live

 
  • Switch to Live Keys: Once tests are successful, switch from test API keys to your live Stripe API keys.
  • Deploy Application: Deploy your Flutter application as usual.
 

Step 11: Monitor Transactions

 
  • Stripe Dashboard: Use the Stripe Dashboard to monitor transactions, refunds, and any potential issues.
  • Logs and Alerts: Configure any necessary logging and alerting mechanisms to stay informed about the status of payments.
 

Step 12: Maintain and Update

 
  • Update Packages: Regularly check for updates to the Stripe package in FlutterFlow.
  • Revise Logic: Any change in your pricing or payment logic would require updates in FlutterFlow configurations.
 

By following these detailed steps, you should be able to successfully integrate Stripe with your FlutterFlow project, allowing you to accept payments seamlessly.

FlutterFlow and Stripe integration usecase

Scenario

A subscription-based e-learning platform wants to streamline its payment process to provide users with seamless access to premium content. They decide to use FlutterFlow to build a mobile app and integrate Stripe for handling subscriptions and one-time payments. They aim to automate the payment handling process, giving users easy access to premium features upon successful payment, and maintain secure records of all transactions within Stripe.

Solution: Integrating FlutterFlow with Stripe

App and Payment Flow Creation:

  • The e-learning platform uses FlutterFlow to design a user-friendly mobile app that allows users to browse and select premium content.
  • A "Subscribe" button or product purchase option is incorporated into the app’s interface.

Setting Up the Integration:

  • The platform installs the Stripe API integration within FlutterFlow, configuring it with their Stripe API keys (live and test keys).
  • They create workflows in FlutterFlow that initiate the Stripe payment process when a user selects a subscription plan or makes a one-time purchase.

Payment Processing Workflow:

  • When a user taps the "Subscribe" button, the FlutterFlow workflow is triggered.
  • A payment form appears where users can enter their credit card details or choose saved payment methods.
  • Upon form submission, FlutterFlow uses the Stripe API to process the payment.
  • Stripe verifies and processes the payment, returning a transaction status to the FlutterFlow app.

Post-Payment Access:

  • If the payment is successful, another workflow in FlutterFlow grants the user access to premium content by updating their user profile in the app’s database.
  • If the payment fails, an error message is displayed, and the user is prompted to reattempt the payment or contact support.

User and Transaction Management:

  • All transaction details such as payment status, amount, and user ID are automatically captured and stored in Stripe for record-keeping.
  • Subscription renewal notifications and failed payment alerts are managed via Stripe and can trigger user notifications within the FlutterFlow app.

Monitoring and Analytics:

  • The e-learning platform's finance team uses Stripe's dashboard to monitor all transactions, track subscription renewals, and generate revenue reports.
  • User engagement and payment data collected in FlutterFlow help the marketing team tailor promotions and offers to increase user retention and conversion rates.

Benefits

  • Efficiency: The integration automates payment processing, reducing manual handling and the risk of errors.
  • Security: Stripe manages all payment data securely, ensuring compliance with GDPR and other regulations.
  • User Experience: A seamless in-app payment flow enhances user experience, encouraging more users to subscribe or make one-time purchases.
  • Revenue Tracking: Comprehensive transaction data in Stripe provides clear insights into revenue streams, aiding in financial planning and strategy.
  • Scalable: The integration easily scales with the platform’s growth, accommodating increasing user numbers and transaction volumes.

Conclusion

By integrating FlutterFlow with Stripe, the e-learning platform can efficiently handle user payments, grant access to premium content immediately upon successful transactions, and maintain a secure and scalable payment system, ultimately enhancing user experience and driving revenue growth.
