Question:
How can I get afterpay working via Stripe’s checkout process?
What are you trying to achieve:
I want afterpay on my ecom store.
The exsisting/standard afterpay integration via wont work as I am unable to get a merchant ID direct from Afterpay, they have directed me to go through stripe, which is all good stripe is sorted. However, The way stripe has been implemented means the Afterpay elements are not used so its not in the check out flow. I can’t find where I can edit the stripe integration.
Any one managed to sus this before or is it a no go?
While Afterpay and Stripe have a strong partnership, the specific implementation details can vary depending on your e-commerce platform and integration method. Here are a few potential solutions to explore:
1. Leverage Stripe Checkout:
- Enable Afterpay: Ensure that Afterpay is enabled as a payment method in your Stripe dashboard.
- Configure Checkout Session: When creating a Checkout Session, include
afterpay_clearpay in the payment_method_types array.
- Customize Checkout: While you might not have full control over the Afterpay element’s appearance, you can customize other aspects of the Stripe Checkout experience to match your brand.
2. Explore Custom Integration:
- Stripe API: If you have advanced technical capabilities, you can use Stripe’s API to create a more customized checkout experience. This could involve integrating Afterpay’s elements directly into your checkout page.
- Third-Party Libraries: Consider using third-party libraries or plugins that streamline the integration process. However, ensure they are compatible with your e-commerce platform and Stripe’s API.
3. Consult with Stripe Support:
- Direct Assistance: Reach out to Stripe’s support team for specific guidance tailored to your setup. They can provide detailed instructions and troubleshoot any issues you may encounter.
- Best Practices: Seek advice on best practices for integrating Afterpay with Stripe, including any potential limitations or workarounds.
