I am wondering what is the status of using Stripe so that your Glide app users can buy a product and/or subscription through the Glide app. I’ve seen from some discussion here and a lesson in Glide University that there was some buy button at some point, that I suppose doesn’t exist anymore because I can’t find it.
Currently, does the Stripe integration has to happen through another party like Make / Zapier or is there a more direct way to connect Glide Tables with Stripe, like with API/webhooks?
Thank you ThinhDinh.
May I ask in case you know, does that integration allow for handling user subscriptions? Or in general what it can do other than “Send an invoice with Stripe” as it mentions in its description?
Thank you Uzo. So that would be a webhook to a Google Script (or even a Google Function script I guess) which does something with Stripe API and then returns via Glide API something to Glide?
Yes, you can fetch payment results back to Glide… here is the sample (use a test card 4242424242424242 to try) add any item from the list to the cart… and then check out.
Hey @dimitris, you can use a google sheet and zapier to create custom stripe links that then show up in your app e.g. if certain conditions are meet and your customers can buy it. This way you can also offer other payment methods then credit card which you can set in stripe or integrate other payment options. I rebuilt a complete checkout flow but have to admit that it takes some time… plus, you’ll probably need a pro version of zapier too since syncing and payment link creation otherwise takes too long.
@Ralf amazing, I see!
So you’re making an API call, passing along the customer/transaction data and you display the webhook response which is a ‘open url’ action.
Pretty intuitive. How would you re-route the user to the App after the transaction is complete?
And- I don’t have iPhone, but I’m assuming it works there as well?
You can’t embed Stripe… that’s why it is hard to deal with mobile… Users can close everything… You might consider PayPal… or paid Glide plan, where you can embed a Google web app that will handle Stripe and close the success link… or Classic Apps… where web view is free.
