Payment-N : This is the payment that is generated for your User-A.

Example Scenario

  1. User-A wants to purchase one RING NFT from the collection, worth €20.
  2. You initiate a request to create a checkout URL for Payment-N (RING NFT)
  3. You receive the checkout URL from PAY
  4. You send the checkout URL to User-A
  5. User-A directly interacts with the Stripe checkout URL and makes payment
  6. You verify the payment status of the checkout (Payment-N).
  7. You carry out the required function. In this case, transfer the NFT to the wallet of User-A

}

Send Checkout Link to User

Send the url from the response body of the previous endpoint to User-A. User-A will interact directly with Stripe when making a payment.

Once User-A successfully completes the payment, they will be automatically directed to the success_url. Conversely, if they opt to return or cancel the process, they will be redirected to the cancel_url.

This is how the checkout URL will look for your user.

This URL includes a company logo and a color scheme because we have customized the checkout URL. Learn how to customize the checkout URL.

Wait for Webhooks/Notifications

Considering you have webhooks configured, you will receive a notification informing you of a successful payment (Payment-N) made by User-A.

The notification will include complete details of the checkout session and the status of payment. Once you get a success notification, we recommend you check the transaction status as explained below.

Check Status of Checkout

Now let's check the payment status of the checkout session (Payment-N).

Call the following endpoint to check the status of the session:

Request Endpoint: reference

POST /checkout/sessions/{sessionId}

Path Param:

{sessionId} : The id of the checkout session.

Response Body:

In the response, you can verify the status of the checkout session by looking at the payment_status parameter which is paid and the status parameter which is completed.

You can confirm the status of a successful checkout session by looking at the payment_status parameter, which should be paid, and the status parameter, which should indicate complete.
