Webflow and Stripe Integration

Integrating Stripe with Webflow allows businesses to accept payments, subscriptions and donations directly on their websites. However, Webflow does not have a built-in Stripe checkout solution outside of its Ecommerce feature, which has limitations.

To date, Stripe has served more than 100+ industry leaders in 45+ countries, who collectively process more than $1B in payments via the solution.  

As a developer-friendly platform, Stripe provides extensive APIs and integrations, allowing businesses to customize their payment systems with ease. For Webflow users, integrating Stripe means unlocking powerful ecommerce capabilities, from one-time payments to subscription-based models.

6 Key Ways to Integrate Stripe with Webflow

You can carry out Stripe integration with Webflow in multiple ways. Integrating Stripe into a Webflow website depends on your specific needs, such as whether you want simple payments, full ecommerce functionality or a custom checkout experience. 

Here are the key methods:

1. Built-in Stripe Integration via Webflow’s Native Ecommerce

• Click Save & Continue to finalize the connection.

4. Customize your checkout & cart pages:

Webflow provides pre-built Cart, Checkout and Order Confirmation pages. You can customize them to match your brand.

• Go to the Pages panel and find the Checkout Page.
• Use the Webflow Designer to modify the layout, colors and typography.
• Make sure required form fields like shipping address and payment details are included.

• Complete the order and check the Webflow Ecommerce Orders dashboard to confirm.

2. Stripe Payment Links (No Code Method)

How to set up Stripe Payment Links:

Embedding the Stripe payment link in Webflow

You can integrate the link into buttons, text links or forms in Webflow.

Method 1: Adding a payment link to a button

1. Open Webflow Designer.
2. Select or add a button element where you want users to make a payment.
3. In the Element Settings Panel, locate the Link Settings.
4. Choose "External URL" and paste your Stripe payment link.
5. Save and publish your changes.

Method 2: Using payment links in text or images

1. Select a text element or image where you want to insert the payment link.
2. Highlight the text (or select the image), then click the link icon in the Webflow Editor.
3. Choose "External URL" and paste the Stripe payment link.
4. Save and publish your page.

Method 3: Using Webflow CMS for dynamic payment links

If you have multiple products/services, you can use Webflow CMS to dynamically assign payment links.

1. Go to Webflow CMS Collections and create a new collection (e.g., "Services" or "Products").
2. Add a new field called Payment Link (URL).
3. Paste a unique Stripe payment link for each product/service entry.
4. Bind the button or text link to the Payment Link field in your Webflow CMS settings.

Now, when a user views a product/service page, they will be directed to the corresponding Stripe checkout.

3. Webflow Stripe Checkout (Embed via Custom Code)

Stripe Checkout is a powerful low-code payment integration that lets businesses accept payments quickly and securely.

It provides multiple ways to set up a checkout experience: an easy-to-use hosted page, an embedded form or fully customized checkout components. Whether you're selling products, subscriptions or accepting donations, Stripe Checkout ensures a smooth payment experience with over 40 local payment methods.

Best for: A more customized yet still easy-to-implement checkout flow.

✅ Pros:

• More professional than simple payment links.
• Supports Apple Pay, Google Pay and multiple other payment methods.

6. Customize the Checkout experience

• Customize success pages and confirmation emails.

4. Full Custom Checkout with Stripe Elements

Integrating Stripe Elements into a Webflow site allows you to create a fully custom embedded checkout experience while keeping users on your website. 

Unlike Webflow’s built-in ecommerce or Stripe Payment Links (which redirect users to an external page), Stripe Elements enables a seamless branded checkout flow with advanced features like card validation, saved payment methods and real-time error handling.

Key features:

• Fully customizable checkout. 
• Embedded experience with no redirections.
• Advanced payment features that supports saved cards, 3D Secure, ACH, Apple Pay and more.

Common Challenges when Integrating Stripe and Webflow

While Stripe and Webflow make a powerful combo, there are some common challenges:

Choosing the Right Integration Method

Webflow does not have a native Stripe checkout, except in its Ecommerce feature, which has limitations. 

Determine whether you need one-time payments, subscriptions, memberships or full custom checkout, and choose the right integration accordingly.

No Native Subscription Support in Webflow

Webflow’s native Ecommerce does not support subscriptions or recurring payments. Businesses looking for memberships, SaaS billing or recurring donations need a workaround:

• Use Memberstack or Outseta for subscription-based models.
• Use Zapier + Stripe to automate recurring invoices for subscriptions.
• For full control, use Stripe API & Webhooks (requires custom development).

Checkout Redirection Issues

Most Webflow-Stripe integrations (except for Stripe Elements) redirect users to Stripe’s checkout page, which can hurt conversions.

• Use Stripe Elements to keep the checkout experience on your Webflow site.
• Customize Stripe Checkout branding to match your website.
• Ensure fast checkout flows to minimize drop-offs.

Payment Processing Delays & Errors

Some transactions fail due to card declines, fraud checks or 3D Secure verification. Also, Webflow forms may not properly pass data to Stripe, especially with Zapier automation.

• Enable 3D Secure payments in Stripe to handle authentication.
• Use Stripe’s built-in fraud prevention tools.
• Test Webflow-Zapier-Stripe flows to ensure data passes correctly.

No Backend Support in Webflow for Payment Handling

Webflow does not have backend processing capabilities, meaning it cannot handle payment confirmation logic, refunds and advanced pricing logic (e.g., dynamic discounts). 

• Use Zapier to connect Webflow forms with Stripe.
• For more control, integrate Stripe via a backend (Node.js, Firebase, or AWS Lambda).

Managing Refunds & Cancellations

Refunds and cancellations must be manually handled in Stripe, as Webflow does not have built-in refund automation.

• Use Stripe’s dashboard to issue refunds manually.
• Set up Zapier automation to notify customers of refunds.
• Use Memberstack for automatic subscription cancellations.

Webflow CMS + Stripe Integration Limitations

Webflow does not natively support dynamic pricing based on Webflow CMS content (e.g., different prices for different service levels).

• Use Zapier to dynamically pull CMS prices into Stripe Payment Links.
• Use Stripe’s API to fetch pricing dynamically (requires coding).

Webflow Forms Cannot Store Payment Data

Webflow forms cannot securely store or process credit card information due to PCI compliance rules.

• Use Stripe Payment Links instead of Webflow forms.
• Use Stripe Elements for embedded checkout.
