Integrate new Stripe with Django? Help needed..

Hey guys, I'm having some real hang-ups trying to integrate stripe with my SaaS app (built on django). I've read through the docs several times now and I'm still pretty lost.

Every tutorial I find is very outdated, so those are no help.

I'd like to use the pre-build, stripe-hosted checkout form. Also, I only have one subscription plan to work with so it should be pretty simple.

Any Ideas where to find help / can you help?

    Hi Landon,

    I just published a Guide to Integrating Django and Stripe. It covers a more complex setup than yours, but hopefully lots of the material translates.

    Happy to answer any questions if you still have any!

    creating session on the server and then running stripe.redirectToCheckout on the client should do that, it just needs the stripe checkout.js script to be included in the Html file.

        Hey Landon, I think I'm in the same spot as you a couple of months ago. Could you point me to any resources that helped you figure this out? Thank you!

          Hey brother! So I was able to figure it out, but only with the slightly older version of stripe. I'll send you some links that really helped me -- you have an email i can send it to?

    The python library for Stripe is pretty straight forward. Whats causing your hangup?

      I agree, I'm just an inexperienced developer. I think I'm getting stuck with the javascript that it requires. Creating the session in python makes sense, but then all of a sudden it requires random js.. do they go in their own file? or the html templates?

      Also, the examples that stripe links to on github include a lot more than the doc say you need... so i kinda get lost in the weeds..
