How to Integrate with Stripe

​

How it works

• Read customers, payments, refunds, invoices, products, prices, and subscriptions
• Create checkout flows for products, services, tickets, memberships, and deposits
• Save Stripe data to your Zite Database for operations, support, and reporting
• Build support views and revenue dashboards
• Keep subscription status current with webhooks

​

Connect Stripe

1

Ask Zite to connect Stripe

In chat, describe what you want to build with Stripe or click the plug icon .For example:

Connect this app to Stripe so we can sell event tickets, track attendees,
manage customer payment questions, and report revenue by event.

2

Authorize in Stripe

Zite sends you to Stripe’s OAuth flow. Sign in if prompted, choose the Stripe account to connect, review the access request, and approve it.

3

Describe the commerce flow

Tell Zite what customers buy, what should happen after payment, and what your team needs to manage afterward.For one-off payments:

Add Stripe Checkout for event tickets. Save the customer, event, ticket
quantity, amount paid, coupon code, payment status, and Stripe payment ID
to the Orders table.

For subscriptions:

Add a monthly subscription flow for members. Save the Stripe customer ID,
subscription ID, plan, status, current period end, and latest invoice ID.
Show active members in the admin dashboard.

4

Choose checkout

Ask for Stripe Checkout when you want a Stripe-hosted page. Ask for embedded checkout when payment should happen inside your Zite app.

5

Test the flow

Because Stripe connects to your live account, create a 100% off coupon code in Stripe and use it at checkout. This lets you test the full flow without charging your card.Confirm the payment appears in Stripe and that Zite stores the fields your app needs.

6

Publish

Click Publish in the upper right corner and share your app.After publishing, test one complete customer path: checkout, confirmation, database record, dashboard update, and any customer or team notification.
