How do I create a Stripe Checkout session?

Short answer: You can create checkout session in Stripe by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the Stripe Create Checkout Session action to a workflow, map its 7 inputs from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.

FAQ

Questions about Create Checkout Session.

What does the Create Checkout Session action do in Stripe?
Creates a Stripe Checkout session for collecting payments via Stripe-hosted UI. Returns a URL you redirect the customer to; handles tax, address, wallets, and SCA automatically.

What happens if Stripe returns an error?
The run history shows the failed step with its input and the error message Stripe returned, so you can fix the input and run the workflow again. Automatic retries are built into HTTP steps only, where you can also set your own retry count and delay.
Does Create Checkout Session support batch operations?
Run Create Checkout Session inside a loop to process each item in an array. TinyCommand does not throttle calls for you, so for large arrays add a Delay step if you need to stay within Stripe's rate limits.
