Methods to integrate Stripe with Webflow

Stripe offers multiple integration paths with Webflow, from simple payment buttons to advanced subscription management. While Webflow includes native Stripe support for basic e-commerce, you can leverage the official Stripe app for enhanced functionality, embed payment elements directly into your pages, or build custom integrations using Stripe and Webflow APIs for maximum control over payment flows, subscription logic, and customer experiences.

Use the Stripe app

The official Stripe app provides no-code payment acceptance without leaving Webflow. Built by Flowout, this app enables instant payment collection while maintaining your site's design consistency.

Key capabilities include:

• Product management directly within Webflow, syncing with your Stripe dashboard
• One-click payment links for products, subscriptions, and services
• Multi-currency support with automatic conversion based on customer location

The app excels at simple payment flows: selling digital products, accepting donations, or processing service payments. For complex subscription tiers or marketplace payments, consider API integration instead.

Use HTML embeds and payment links

Stripe's embeddable components let you add payment functionality using Webflow’s Code Embed element. Payment Links generate shareable URLs or embeddable buttons for any product in your Stripe dashboard.

Stripe Checkout provides a conversion-optimized payment page:

1. Create products in your Stripe Dashboard
2. Generate a Payment Link with your branding settings
3. Embed the payment button using Webflow's HTML Embed element
4. Customize button appearance through Stripe's visual editor

For recurring payments, enable subscription mode on your Payment Links. Customers can manage their subscriptions through Stripe's hosted portal, reducing your support burden.

Buy buttons offer even simpler integration:

<stripe-buy-button
  buy-button-id="buy_btn_1ABC"
  publishable-key="pk_live_XXX">
</stripe-buy-button>

These components handle PCI compliance, fraud detection, and payment method selection automatically.

Build with Webflow and Stripe APIs

Direct API integration unlocks capabilities beyond what apps or embeds provide: custom pricing logic, advanced subscription management, marketplace payments, and deep CMS integration. This approach requires server-side code but offers complete control over payment experiences.

Core API capabilities include programmatic payment processing, subscription lifecycle management, customer portal generation, and webhook-driven automation. Since Webflow doesn't execute backend code, you'll need serverless functions (AWS Lambda, Netlify Functions) or an external server.

Implement dynamic subscription billing

Build flexible subscription systems with usage-based pricing, trial periods, and custom billing cycles:

1. Create subscription products using Stripe's Products API with multiple price tiers
2. Handle upgrades/downgrades via the Subscriptions API to modify plans mid-cycle with proration
3. Generate customer portals through the Billing Portal API for self-service subscription management

The Subscriptions API enables complex scenarios like metered billing for API usage or seat-based pricing for team accounts.

Process marketplace payments

Enable multi-party transactions using Stripe Connect:

1. Onboard sellers via the Accounts API with KYC verification
2. Route payments using the transfer_data parameter to split funds between platform and sellers
3. Handle payouts through the Transfers API with customizable schedules

Connect supports complex fee structures, instant payouts, and cross-border transfers — essential for marketplace platforms.

Sync payment data with Webflow CMS

Automate order management and inventory updates:

1. Configure webhooks for events like checkout.session.completed and payment_intent.succeeded
2. Update Webflow CMS using the Orders API to mark orders as paid
3. Manage inventory via the Inventory API after successful payments

Webhook integration enables real-time synchronization between Stripe transactions and your Webflow content.

What you can build
