StripeClientDemo
Val Town is a collaborative website to build and scale JavaScript apps.
Deploy APIs, crons, & store data – all from the browser, and deployed in miliseconds.
This is a client-side only implementation of Stripe Checkout, as requested. It uses Stripe's client-side checkout.js library to create a checkout session directly from the browser without requiring server-side code.

Replace the Stripe Keys:
- You must replace the placeholder publishable key (
pk_test_TYooMQauvdEDq54NiTphI7jx
) with your actual Stripe publishable key - You must replace the placeholder price ID (
price_1234567890
) with your actual Stripe price ID from your dashboard
- You must replace the placeholder publishable key (

Limitations of Client-Side Only Approach:
- Limited customization options compared to server-side implementation
- Cannot perform post-payment actions that require the secret key
- Cannot dynamically calculate prices or apply discounts
- Cannot validate the payment on your end (you'll need to rely on Stripe webhooks)
-
Security Considerations:
- Never include your Stripe secret key in client-side code
- The publishable key is safe to include in client-side code
- The page loads with a simple product display and checkout button
- When the user clicks "Proceed to Checkout", the code calls
stripe.redirectToCheckout()
- This redirects the user to Stripe's hosted checkout page
- After payment, the user is redirected back to the success or cancel URL
- The page displays a success or cancellation message based on the URL parameters
To customize this implementation:
- Update the product details and pricing in the HTML
- Replace the price ID with your actual Stripe price ID
- Customize the success and cancel messages
- Adjust the styling as needed using Tailwind classes
If you need more functionality, consider:
- Creating a minimal HTTP val to create checkout sessions server-side
- Using Stripe Elements for more customized checkout experiences
- Implementing webhook handling for post-payment processing
