Collect Payment Method

After turning on your Stripe integration, you can collect payments from your users.

Once you've turned on your Stripe integration, you can collect payments from your users in one of two ways.

1. Custom Feathery Design - Your entire checkout experience is in your Feathery flow.

2. Stripe Checkout - Once your user has selected products or plans to purchase in your Feathery flow, they're automatically redirected to a Stripe Checkout page that presents a purchase summary, collects their payment information, and enables them to pay.

Stripe Checkout

If you choose to collect payments through an embedded Stripe checkout session, all Stripe payment methods will be available to use and configurable in Stripe.

Once you set your Stripe integration settings to Stripe Checkout, you can go back to your form and create a button with the Checkout Cart action. When this button is clicked, it'll automatically redirect your user to a Stripe Checkout session that has the products & quantities pre-populated.

Custom Feathery Design

If you configure your Stripe settings to collect payments natively in your Feathery form, the Payment Method field will become available to use.

This payment method field may be dragged anywhere onto your form and is the only way to enter payment/card information into your form to be passed securely to Stripe. The payment method field collects the card number, CVC, expiration month/year and postal code. It supports standard styling in Feathery.

Once your end user fills the field and submits the step that holds it, the payment method will be automatically saved into your Stripe account for that customer. Also, if the payment method is on the same step that triggers a payment via the Checkout Cart click action, Feathery will first save the payment method into Stripe and then use it for the payment.

Note that it is not always necessary to collect new payment information when designing a custom checkout flow in Feathery. Feathery will use existing payment methods previously set up in Stripe for the customer. However, if you're unsure if a user has an existing payment method saved in Stripe, it is safer to require them to input it again.
