Details and Customization

Stripe Checkout is the fastest way to get started with payments. This template contains three important files:

/public - these files are served directly as is and contain no secret information

• index.html: The actual form that users will see which initiates a post to the backend. Change this to alter how you sales page appears
• success.html: Displayed to users upon a successful purchase
• winback.html - Displayed to users if they return from the purchase screen without completing a purchase

/ - root files that run "on the server" and contain private information like API keys (these are stored in environment settings)

• server.js: exposes one endpoint called /create-checkout-session that answers the post request from the client facing form and forwards the user to a payment page
