Using Stripe for Credit Card Payment via Checkout

 Once Stripe is configured at your BSS, a new step will be displayed during checkout, where the credit card details are filled in. The payment is automatically routed and upon successful completion the subscription is created. This page contains information as to the checking out process with Stripe integration.

Making a Purchase - New Customer

When a new customer checks out his basket, the button "Checkout" will be displayed for the customer to enter his credit card details.

In the next screen the user must fill the form with the card details.

Our system does not store neither submit any credit card details, all the details are entered in the inline page hosted by Stripe. Our system keeps only a token for the recurring charges.

Once the payment through Stripe is initiated via Storefront during the checkout process, our system dispatches to Stripe two specific order information:

1. The order code to be added in the payment record that is created inside the Stripe dashboard.
2. The organization ID (clientID) which depicts the originating country tenant of the transaction. This ID is also added in the payment record that is created inside the Stripe dashboard. 
   

These two identifiers are what our platform dispatches as extra information to Stripe systems for a better identification of each transaction, either from a new customer or an existing one.

Making a Purchase - Existing Customer

When an existing customer checks out his basket, he can pay using one of the existing credit cards or to enter a new one. These options are display in Payment step.

Managing Customers Credit Card Tokens

When a customer during checkout adds a new credit card, a token will be stored in our platform for the credit card the customer used. This token is available in account details page, in Credit Cards section. 

The only information we keep is the last 4 digits of the credit card.

The end user has some basic management actions for each credit card. This can be accessed by clicking on the credit card number hyperlink:

Credit Card Priority

When the customer has more than one credit cards, the priority field is used for the system to know which credit card to use for the recurring charges. By default, the last card the customer added during checkout will have the highest priority but this can be changed from inside the BSS portal.

Credit Card Status

If you set the status of a credit card to inactive, the customer will no longer be able to use this card in Storefront (it will not be available in credit cards list in basket) and the system will not use it for the recurring charges.
