Flutter Stripe

pub package build

The Stripe Flutter SDK allows you to build delightful payment experiences in your native Android and iOS apps using Flutter. We provide powerful and customizable UI screens and elements that can be used out-of-the-box to collect your users' payment details.

Features

Simplified Security: We make it simple for you to collect sensitive data such as credit card numbers and remain PCI compliant. This means the sensitive data is sent directly to Stripe instead of passing through your server. For more information, see our Integration Security Guide.

Apple Pay: We provide a seamless integration with Apple Pay.

Google Pay: The plugin can easily act as payment provider for the Pay plugin that enables you to seamlessly integrate Google Pay or Apple Pay. All you need to do is add your stripe publishable key to the payment profile.

Payment methods: Accepting more payment methods helps your business expand its global reach and improve checkout conversion.

SCA-Ready: The SDK automatically performs native 3D Secure authentication if needed to comply with Strong Customer Authentication regulation in Europe.

Native UI: We provide native screens and elements to securely collect payment details on Android and iOS.

Pre-built payments UI: Learn how to integrate Payment Sheet, the new pre-built payments UI for mobile apps. This pre-built UI lets you accept cards, Apple Pay, and Google Pay out of the box, and includes support for saving & reusing cards.

If you're selling digital products or services within your app, (e.g. subscriptions, in-game currencies, game levels, access to premium content, or unlocking a full version), you must use the app store's in-app purchase APIs. See Apple's and Google's guidelines for more information. For all other scenarios you can use this SDK to process payments via Stripe.

Installation

dart pub add flutter_stripe

Requirements

Android

This plugin requires several changes to be able to work on Android devices. Please make sure you follow all these steps:

  1. Use Android 5.0 (API level 21) and above
  2. Use Kotlin version 1.5.0 and above: example
  3. Using a descendant of Theme.AppCompat for your activity: example, example night theme
  4. Using an up-to-date Android gradle build tools version: example and an up-to-date gradle version accordingly: example
  5. Using FlutterFragmentActivity instead of FlutterActivity in MainActivity.kt: example
  6. Rebuild the app, as the above changes don't update with hot reload

These changes are needed because the Android Stripe SDK requires the use of the AppCompat theme for their UI components and the Support Fragment Manager for the Payment Sheets

iOS

Compatible with apps targeting iOS 12 or above.

Web (Experimental)

Now you can use Stripe with Flutter web! Notice right now it is highly experimental and only a subset of features is implemented.

Usage

The library provides three UI componets for accepting card payments: the CardField, CardForm, and the Paymentsheet.

We recommend using the PaymentSheet for the most easy and smooth Stripe integration. It provides out of the box support for:

  • Localized labels and error messages to the users
  • Build-in animations
  • Build-in Google Pay and Apple Pay buttons
  • Handling 3D-secure

Notice that PaymentSheet is only available for Android and iOS.

On the other side the CardField allows you to create a more customizable payment flow inside your app.

Example

// main.dart
import 'package:flutter_stripe/flutter_stripe.dart';

void main() async {
  WidgetsFlutterBinding.ensureInitialized();

  // set the publishable key for Stripe - this is mandatory
  Stripe.publishableKey = stripePublishableKey;
  runApp(PaymentScreen());
}

// payment_screen.dart
class PaymentScreen extends StatelessWidget {

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      appBar: AppBar(),
      body: Column(
        children: [
          CardField(
            onCardChanged: (card) {
              print(card);
            },
          ),
          TextButton(
            onPressed: () async {
              // create payment method
              final paymentMethod =
                  await Stripe.instance.createPaymentMethod(PaymentMethodParams.card());
            },
            child: Text('pay'),
          )
        ],
      ),
    );
  }
}

Stripe initialization

To initialize Stripe in your Flutter app, use the Stripe base class.

Stripe offers publishableKey, stripeAccountId, threeDSecureParams and merchantIdentifier. Only publishableKey is required.

Dart API

The library offers several methods to handle stripe related actions:

Future<PaymentMethod> createPaymentMethod(...);
Future<PaymentIntent> handleNextAction(...);
Future<PaymentIntent> confirmPayment(...);
Future<void> configure3dSecure(...);
Future<bool> isApplePaySupported();
Future<void> presentApplePay(...);
Future<void> confirmApplePayPayment(...);
Future<SetupIntent> confirmSetupIntent(...);
Future<PaymentIntent> retrievePaymentIntent(...);
Future<String> createTokenForCVCUpdate(...);

Future<void> initPaymentSheet(...);
Future<void> presentPaymentSheet(...);
Future<void> confirmPaymentSheetPayment()

The example app offers examples on how to use these methods.

Pay Plugin support

flutter_stripe fully supports the Pay plugin from the Google Pay team. By including a few lines you can integrate Stripe as a payment processor for Google / Apple Pay:

Future<void> onGooglePayResult(paymentResult) async {
    final response = await fetchPaymentIntentClientSecret();
    final clientSecret = response['clientSecret'];
    final token = paymentResult['paymentMethodData']['tokenizationData']['token'];
    final tokenJson = Map.castFrom(json.decode(token));

    final params = PaymentMethodParams.cardFromToken(
      token: tokenJson['id'],
    );
    // Confirm Google pay payment method
    await Stripe.instance.confirmPayment(
      clientSecret,
      params,
    );
}

Run the example app

  • Navigate to the example folder cd example
  • Install the dependencies
    • flutter pub get
  • Set up env vars for the flutter app and a local backend.
    • Get your test Stripe API keys
    • cp lib/.env.example.dart lib/.env.dart and set your Stripe publishable key.
    • cp server/.env.example server/.env and set the variable values in your newly created .env file.
  • Install the server dependencies: yarn --cwd "server"
  • Start the example
    • Terminal 1: yarn --cwd "server" start
    • Terminal 2: flutter run
