React Zero-Config Payments

React payment components that require zero configuration.

See also https://github.com/tomsoderlund/react-zeroconfig-components

Design goals

• “Plug and play” Stripe integration – just drop a component into your project
• Great consumer UX – no redirects or popups
• VAT/tax compliant with European standards
• Simple backend requirements – basically just mirror Stripe’s API

Features

• Payment systems:
  • [x] Stripe Card
    • [x] One-time payments
      • [ ] Field metadata on one-time payments (now only subscriptions)
      • [ ] Support for stripePriceId/stripeProductId
      • [ ] Minimal form for returning customers (known stripeCustomerId)
    • [X] Recurring subscriptions
    • [ ] VAT support and tax rates
  • [x] Stripe Klarna payments
  • [ ] Paddle
  • [ ] ChargeBee
• [x] API mockup on http://localhost:6007/api/stripe (see “Example server backend” below)
• UX:
  • [x] Support both “one row” or “split fields” layout (StripeMethodCardForm)
  • [ ] inProgress: Disable form until subscriptions are completed
• Accessibility:
  • [x] All components use button where applicable
  • [x] Keyboard/tab support
• Documentation:
  • [ ] Storybook site published to GitHub Pages

Installation

yarn add react-zeroconfig-payments  # or: npm install react-zeroconfig-payments

Configuration

Create an .env file for testing (see .env.example).

Set up server routes

Required routes for StripePaymentCardForm and StripeSubscriptionCardForm (note: you can override the /api/stripe bit with the apiPathRoot prop on the React components):

• POST /api/stripe/customers
• POST /api/stripe/customers/:id

Required routes for StripePaymentCardForm:

• POST /api/stripe/payment_intents
• POST /api/stripe/payment_intents/:id

Required routes for StripeSubscriptionCardForm:

• POST /api/stripe/payment_methods/:id
• POST /api/stripe/subscriptions
• POST /api/stripe/subscriptions/:id

See “Example server backend” below.

Components

See the Storybook stories in /stories to see how the components are used in code, including more advanced use cases.

Naming convention: [Provider][Action][Method]Form

• Provider: Stripe, Paddle
• Action: Payment (one-time), Subscription
• Method: Card, Klarna

StripePaymentCardForm

This is the main component for one-time payments. It uses StripeMethodCardForm and ContactInfoForm.

Note: this component uses Stripe server API, it requires backend routes.

import { StripePaymentCardForm } from 'react-zeroconfig-payments'

<StripePaymentCardForm
  stripeAppPublicKey={process.env.STRIPE_APP_PUBLIC_KEY}
  amountDecimals={9.90}
  currency='eur'
  onResponse={({ paymentIntent, error }) => {...}}
/>

StripeSubscriptionCardForm

This is the main component for recurring subscriptions. It uses StripeMethodCardForm and ContactInfoForm.

Note: this component uses Stripe server API, it requires backend routes.

import { StripeSubscriptionCardForm } from 'react-zeroconfig-payments'

<StripeSubscriptionCardForm
  stripeAppPublicKey={process.env.STRIPE_APP_PUBLIC_KEY}

  stripePriceId='price_XXXX'

  metadata={{ flavor: 'banana' }}
  onResponse={({ id, error }) => {...}}
/>

or:

<StripeSubscriptionCardForm
  stripeAppPublicKey={process.env.STRIPE_APP_PUBLIC_KEY}

  stripeProductId='prod_XXXX'
  interval='month'
  intervalCount={1}
  amountDecimals={9.90}
  currency='eur'

  metadata={{ flavor: 'banana' }}
  onResponse={({ id, error }) => {...}}
/>

StripeMethodCardForm

This component is client-side only, does not require backend routes.

<StripeMethodCardForm
  stripeAppPublicKey={process.env.STRIPE_APP_PUBLIC_KEY}
  onResponse={({ paymentMethod, error }) => {...}}
/>

StripeMethodCardForm: oneRow

<StripeMethodCardForm
  oneRow={true}
  stripeAppPublicKey={process.env.STRIPE_APP_PUBLIC_KEY}
  onResponse={({ paymentMethod, error }) => {...}}
/>

StripeMethodKlarnaForm

This is a special version of the StripeMethodCardForm for Klarna payments. There’s also a StripePaymentKlarnaForm that includes fields for contact information.

Note: this component uses Stripe server API, it requires backend routes.

import { StripeMethodKlarnaForm } from 'react-zeroconfig-payments'

<StripeMethodKlarnaForm
  stripeAppPublicKey={process.env.STRIPE_APP_PUBLIC_KEY}
  stripeCustomerId={process.env.STRIPE_CUSTOMER_ID}
  contactInfo={{
    // See https://stripe.com/docs/api/payment_methods/object#payment_method_object-billing_details for all fields
    email: '[email protected]',
    address: {
      country: 'se',
      postal_code: '11350'
    }
  }}
  amountDecimals={99.00}
  currency='sek'
  onResponse={handleResponse}
  returnUrl='http://localhost:6007/api/klarna/return_url'
/>

Extra props needed:

• contactInfo: Klarna needs at least email and country. Also, country needs to match the currency.
• returnUrl: where to redirect after completing/cancelling the Klarna checkout screen (a simple test page is set up on http://localhost:6007/api/klarna/return_url)

Stripe payment flow

One-time payments (https://dashboard.stripe.com/payments):

1. Create a Stripe customer
2. Create a payment intent
3. Get payment method from the browser (credit card or Klarna checkout)
4. Confirm card payment

Subscriptions (https://dashboard.stripe.com/subscriptions):

1. Create a Stripe customer
2. Get payment method from the browser
3. Set up the payment method on Stripe
4. Create a subscription

Example server backend

Mock API running inside Storybook. See the source code in stories/_helpers/server/stripeServer.js.

Example API call:

curl -X POST -H 'Content-type: application/json' --data '{ "amount": 100 }' http://localhost:6007/api/stripe/payment_intents

NOTE: you need to restart yarn dev if you modify stripeServer.js.

Styling

Styling is optional, you can use styled-components or similar.
