Integrating Bubble.io with Stripe
Step 1: Sign in or Create your Bubble.io account
Firstly, you need to visit the Bubble.io website and sign in if you already have an account, or sign up if you don't.
Step 2: Create a New Application
Once you have signed in, click on 'New Application' to start building your new application. Give it a name and make sure to select the correct plan.
Step 3: Set up Your Development Environment
Bubble.io provides a design and workflow interface for creating your digital product. Familiarize yourself with the editor to help you navigate through the application creation process.
Step 4: Setting up the Database
Before you start designing your product, you need to set up your database. Click on the 'Data' tab located on top of the Bubble.io interface and set up your Users and Products.
Now that your Bubble.io application is all set up, let's integrate Stripe.
Step 5: Create a Stripe Account
If you don't already have a Stripe account, you need to create one. Just visit the Stripe site, click on 'Start now' and follow the prompts to set up your account.
Step 6: Add the Stripe Plugin on Bubble.io
Now, go back to your app on Bubble.io and install the Stripe plugin. On the left-hand side of the Bubble.io editor, click on 'Plugins.' Search for 'Stripe' using the search bar. Once found, add it to your app.
Step 7: Configure the Stripe Plugin
To set up the Stripe Plugin, you are going to need to insert your API keys from Stripe. To find these, log into your Stripe account, go to 'Developers' on the left menu and then select 'API Keys.' Copy the 'Publishable Key' and the 'Secret Key.'
Go back to your Bubble.io app. In the Plugin Tab - Stripe, paste your 'Publishable Key' and 'Secret Key' in the appropriate boxes.
Step 8: Set up the Payment Workflow in Bubble
In the Bubble.io editor, navigate to the page where you'd like to set up the payment. This could be a checkout page or a donations page.
Create a button (ex. 'Pay Now') in the design tab of the editor on the page where you want the payment to be processed. After placing the button, with the button selected, click the 'Start/Edit workflow' action in the property editor.
In the workflow tab, click on '+Add action,' then choose 'Payments - Charge the Current User.' Here, you’ll be able to configure the payment, such as setting up the amount and the currency.
Step 9: Test the Payment Process
In order to make sure it's working correctly, you can test the payment process. Bubble.io allows you to do a test payment. To do so, click on 'Preview' in the top-right corner of the Bubble.io editor.
Upon testing, if a success message appears in Stripe, it means that the integration between Bubble and Stripe is successful.
Final Step: Launch Your App
After testing and confirming that everything works as anticipated, you can now publish your app by clicking on the 'Deploy' button on Bubble.io's interface.
Remember to update the ‘Publishable Key’ and ‘Secret Key’ in the ‘Stripe’ Plugin settings with the Live Keys from Stripe. It's essential for processing real transactions once the app is deployed.
And there you go! You have successfully integrated Stripe with your Bubble.io application.
Scenario: An online startup wants to build a new e-commerce platform to sell their unique products. They use Bubble.io to create the website, along with a secure checkout page for customers to place orders. However, they also want to enable customers to easily make payments using their preferred method. For this, they decide to employ Stripe, which has a comprehensive payment system, including credit card processing, subscription services, and fraud prevention.
Solution: Integrating Bubble.io with Stripe
The startup uses Bubble.io to design a rich and interactive e-commerce site where customers can browse and purchase products.
To set up the payment system, the startup integrates Stripe with its Bubble.io platform. They install the Stripe plugin in Bubble.io and configure the plugin using the Stripe API key.
When a customer decides to make a purchase, they're directed to the secure Bubble.io checkout page. Their shopping cart details, including the items, quantities, and total cost, are automatically populated on this page.
After the customer enters their payment and shipping information and hits submit, Stripe processes the payment. Bubble.io then triggers a workflow to send the order information and status to Stripe and in-turn, Stripe sends a confirmation to the customer.
Bubble.io captures the order details and transaction data from Stripe for tracking and management. Based on the received data, the company can process and ship the orders accordingly.
Stripe's integration with Bubble.io also allows the startup to handle customer service issues. If a customer requests a refund or an order cancellation, the startup can use Stripe's financial tools to issue refund directly from their Bubble.io’s dashboard.
Lastly, the startup can analyze the customer’s buying behavior, transaction records, and conversions from the data stored in Stripe, to gain valuable insights for business growth.
By leveraging the powerful combination of Bubble.io and Stripe, the startup can smoothly run their online store, ensuring a great customer experience, efficient order management, and valuable analytics.
