Shopping Cart

Cart State Management

Payment Processing

Stripe Integration

import Stripe from 'stripe';

const stripe = new Stripe(process.env.STRIPE_SECRET_KEY!, {
  apiVersion: '2023-10-16',
});

// Create checkout session
async function createCheckoutSession(cart: Cart, customerId?: string) {

        product_data: {
          name: item.name,
          images: [item.image],
        },
        unit_amount: Math.round(item.price * 100),
      },
      quantity: item.quantity,
    })),
    discounts: cart.discountCode
      ? [{ coupon: cart.discountCode }]

// Create payment intent (for custom checkout)

// Webhook handler

React Stripe Elements

    const { error: submitError } = await stripe.confirmPayment({
      elements,
      confirmParams: {
        return_url: `${window.location.origin}/checkout/success`,
      },
    });

    if (submitError) {
      setError(submitError.message || 'Payment failed');
      setProcessing(false);
    }
  };

  return (
    <form onSubmit={handleSubmit}>
      <PaymentElement />
      {error && <div className="error">{error}</div>}
      <button type="submit" disabled={!stripe || processing}>
        {processing ? 'Processing...' : 'Pay Now'}
      </button>
    </form>
  );
}

function CheckoutPage() {
  const [clientSecret, setClientSecret] = useState('');

  useEffect(() => {
    fetch('/api/create-payment-intent', {
      method: 'POST',
      body: JSON.stringify({ amount: cart.total }),
    })
      .then((res) => res.json())
      .then((data) => setClientSecret(data.clientSecret));
  }, []);

  if (!clientSecret) return <Loading />;

  return (
