Thanks for the pointer. It was quite easy but as a beginner it took me a while to figure this out, so i thought i would write what i did in the hope it helps someone else.
I followed the instructions in the documentation. https://stripe.com/docs You need to install the API as described then you need to remove or rename the stripe.py found in gluon/contrib in db.py i *import stripe* and added *stripe.api_key = "Replace_with_your_key"* I used the Custom form from the Stripe documents in my view. Then in the controller i put the code from the example just a couple of small changes. You change the request.POST to request.post_vars. You also need to put this in an if loop. def createcustomer(): # Get the credit card details submitted by the form if request.post_vars: token = request.post_vars['stripeToken'] # Create the charge on Stripe's servers - this will charge the user's card try: # Create a Customer customer = stripe.Customer.create( card=token, description="[email protected]" ) # Charge the Customer instead of the card stripe.Charge.create( amount=1000, # in cents currency="usd", customer=customer.id ) #Save Customer ID in your DB db.customer.insert(customer_id = customer.id ) db.commit() # Redirect to view post session.flash = T("You Payed!") return redirect(URL('default', 'view')) except stripe.CardError, e: # The card has been declined response.flash = "Card Error" pass I am a beginner, so there is probably a cleaner and better way, but the above worked for me.
