In this tutorial, we’ll show you how to integrate Flask with Stripe to process payments. We’ll walk you through the steps of setting up a Flask app with Stripe, and we’ll show you how to use Stripe to process payments.

To get started, you’ll need to create a Stripe account. Once you have a Stripe account, you’ll need to create a new Stripe account and obtain your Stripe API keys.

Next, you’ll need to install the Flask and Stripe libraries. You can do this by running the following commands:

pip install flask
pip install stripe

Once you have the libraries installed, you’ll need to create a new Flask app. You can do this by running the following command:

flask new myapp

Once you have a new Flask app, you’ll need to add your Stripe API keys to the app. You can do this by editing the app.config file and adding the following keys:

STRIPE_KEY = ‘your_stripe_key’
STRIPE_SECRET = ‘your_stripe_secret’

Next, you’ll need to create a new route for processing payments. You can do this by adding the following code to your app:

@app.route(‘/payment’)
def payment():
return “payment_page.html”

Next, you’ll need to create a new HTML file called payment_page.html. This file will contain the payment form.

The payment form will include the following fields:

- Name
- Email
- Credit Card Number
- Expiration Date
- CVV

You can find a more detailed example of the payment form here: https://stripe.com/docs/forms

Once you have the payment form created, you’ll need to add the following code to your app to process payments:

if request.method == ‘POST’:
    stripe_payment = stripe.payment.create(
      name=request.form[‘name’],
      email=request.form[‘email’],
      credit_card=request.form[‘credit_card’],
      expiration_date=request.form[‘expiration_date’],
      cvv=request.form[‘cvv’]
   )
if stripe_payment.charge_approved:
    return “success_page.html”
else:
    return “error_page.html”

You can find a more detailed example of the code here: https://stripe.com/docs/payment-processing# flask

That’s it! You now have a Flask app that can process payments using Stripe.
