Stripe inbuilt payment forms

Glide currently doesn’t support fully embedded Stripe payment forms within the app interface. Instead, users can be redirected to a secure Stripe Checkout page to complete their payment.

  • User clicking a “Generate Invoice” button, or just call it “Pay”.
  • Your flow use a Call API action to generate a Stripe Checkout link.
  • You bring that Stripe Checkout link back to your database, and open that link in a new window for the user to pay.
  • In Stripe, add a webhook to listen to completed payments. On payment completed, send a payload to Glide to validate that the payment has been completed so you can move the user to the next screen (something like “Thank you for purchasing”).

While this approach works for MVPs or small-scale projects, Glide may not be the best fit for high-volume, real-time transactional apps like food ordering or ride-hailing, in my honest opinion.
