ruby on rails - Create Customer w/ simple Stripe Checkout -

my aim to verify users card information , store info in customer object.

i run pay-upon delivery service , building hack protect against fake orders (we can charge people via strip dashboard if place false orders or don't show up).

a full stripe integration long term goal, need asap. i've read (re-read) the docs having trouble.

the simple stripe checkout works great, clueless how create customer there.

script:

    <form action="/charge" method="post">       <script         src="https://checkout.stripe.com/checkout.js" class="stripe-button"         data-key="test key"         data-image="/square-image.png"         data-name="food bazooka"         data-description="customer verification. no charges :)"         data-panel-label="confirm , verify"         data-label="confirm">       </script>       </form> 

any feedback or ideas appreciated.

thanks!

you're using embedded form, need use custom forms , server side code.

you need first create single use token represents customer card form (assuming form contains credit card number, expiry date etc...)

taken docs:

form markup:

<form action="/customer" method="post" id="payment-form">   <span class="payment-errors"></span>    <div class="form-row">     <label>       <span>card number</span>       <input type="text" size="20" data-stripe="number"/>     </label>   </div>    <div class="form-row">     <label>       <span>cvc</span>       <input type="text" size="4" data-stripe="cvc"/>     </label>   </div>    <div class="form-row">     <label>       <span>expiration (mm/yyyy)</span>       <input type="text" size="2" data-stripe="exp-month"/>     </label>     <span> / </span>     <input type="text" size="4" data-stripe="exp-year"/>   </div>    <button type="submit">submit payment</button> </form> 

javascript:

jquery(function($) {   $('#payment-form').submit(function(event) {     var $form = $(this);      // disable submit button prevent repeated clicks     $form.find('button').prop('disabled', true);      stripe.card.createtoken($form, striperesponsehandler);      // prevent form submitting default action     return false;   }); });  function striperesponsehandler(status, response) {   var $form = $('#payment-form');    if (response.error) {     // show errors on form     $form.find('.payment-errors').text(response.error.message);     $form.find('button').prop('disabled', false);   } else {     // response contains id , card, contains additional card details     var token = response.id;     // insert token form gets submitted server     $form.append($('<input type="hidden" name="stripetoken" />').val(token));     // , submit     $form.get(0).submit();   } }; 

this takes form, , adds hidden field called stripetoken before submitting

notice form action /customer

i see you're using ruby on rails tag - need handle customer post controller

this you'll need do:
https://stripe.com/docs/tutorials/charges#saving-credit-card-details-for-later

# set secret key: remember change live secret key in production # see keys here https://dashboard.stripe.com/account stripe.api_key = "sk_test_x9s2nhixfy399uonvakwjysn"  # credit card details submitted form # notice stripetoken - hidden field  token = params[:stripetoken]  # create customer customer = stripe::customer.create(   :card => token,   :description => "payinguser@example.com" )  # charge customer instead of card # ** have commented block out, not want charge customer # stripe::charge.create(     # :amount => 1000, # incents      # :currency => "gbp",     # :customer => customer.id # )  # save customer id in database can use later save_stripe_customer_id(user, customer.id)
