Question

I am trying to get Stripe\'s Checkout Custom Button to charge a credit card but all it does is minimize after I enter the credit card details. I am using the code found in t

Answer 1

Finally got it to work. Had to change a bunch of it. Here is the code:

Payment page

<form action="charge.php" method="post">
<script src="https://checkout.stripe.com/checkout.js"></script>
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.min.js"></script> 

<button id="customButton">Pay with Card</button>
<style>
#customButton{
width:300px;
height:50px;
background-color:orange;
color:white;
border:2px solid green;
}
</style>
 <script>
 $('#customButton').click(function(){
 var token = function(res){
 var $input = $('<input type=hidden name=stripeToken />').val(res.id);
 $('form').append($input).submit();
 };

 StripeCheckout.open({
 key:         '<?php echo $stripe['publishable_key']; ?>',
 address:     false,
 amount:      '<?php echo $price; ?>',
 currency:    'usd',
 name:        'test',
 description: '<?php echo $desc; ?>',
 panelLabel:  'Checkout',
 token:       token
 });

 return false;
 });
 </script>
 <input type="hidden" name="desc" value="<?php echo $desc; ?>"/>
 <input type="hidden" name="totalPrice" value="<?php echo $price; ?>"/>
</form>

charge.php

<?php
require_once(dirname(__FILE__) . '/config.php');

$token  = $_POST['stripeToken'];
$amount = $_POST['totalPrice'];
$desc = $_POST['desc'];
$percent = "0.01";
$realAmount = $amount * $percent;
try {       
$charge = Stripe_Charge::create(array(
    'card' => $token,
    'amount'   => $amount,  
    'currency' => 'usd',
    'description' => $desc
    ));

    } catch(Stripe_CardError $e) {
// The card has been declined
}

echo "<h1>Successfully charged $$realAmount!</h1>";
?>

I wish Stripe's documentation was more straightforward but this code handles the charge and it logs it on your dashboard.

@BlueSix is right, why do you have:

<input type="hidden" name="totalPrice" value="<?php echo $price; ?>"/>

Just because the value is hidden, does not mean it cannot be edited by the end user.

It would be much better to set $amount = $price directly, passing the variable through your application backend.
