How to Integrate Stripe Payment with Liferay: A Step-by-Step Guide

Introduction   

There are mainly two ways to implement stripe payment integration 

    1. Prebuit Payment Page

This payment provides by the stripe so we do not need to code for it. 

It has all functionality coupons for discounts, etc 

The UI part for the payment integration is fixed. We cannot change it.  

Need to create a product in the stripe dashboard. 

And only passing quantity at payment time total price and discount all those things managed by the stripe.  

     2. Custom Payment flow

This flow will use when we have a custom payment page or a different design  

And customization from the payment side and only the user will do payment only not specify any product. 

In this flow, no need to create a Product for the payment. 

Need to create below APIs 

Create-payment-intent API: add payment-related detail in the stripe. It will return client_secret for making payment. 

Webhook 

Need to do the below things from the FE 

Confirm Payment: It will take the card detail and client_secret that we got from the create-payment-intent API.  

We are going to use a custom payment flow for the Event Module Payment integration.

Object Definition for the Stripe 

Introduction 

We are using the stripe for payments but in the feature, there might be clients who will use other payment service provider use. 

So, using two objects we will handle it 

Payment Object that contains unique data like used, stripe user id, type, and relation with Calander Event Payment object 

Calander Event Object contains data related to the Event. 

Payment objects have one too many relations with the Calander Event Object. 

P-Flow for the Stripe payment integration  

We will perform the below operations for Stripe payment integration in the Calander event. 

Create a customer in Stripe while the Liferay user gets created. 

Add create a customer in register API 

Also, while the Liferay user gets created using the Liferay admin panel 

Create Payment Intent API for adding payment related in the stripe and take payment stripe ID for confirm Payment 

Add the same detail in the Liferay object with event data (status – pending) while they call payment intent API. 

Custom method for customer management for stripe

private void stripeCustomerCrud(User user, String operationType) { // If operation type is not equal to create, update, or delete, give an error if (!Arrays.asList(CREATE_OP, UPDATE_OP, DELETE_OP).contains(operationType)) { log.error(“Operations must be in Create, Update, and Delete. Your choice is: ” + operationType + ” operation.”); return; }

try { Stripe.apiKey = “your api key”; String stripeCustomerId = “”;

// Get Stripe Customer ID from the user custom field when operation equals to update or delete if (operationType.equals(UPDATE_OP) || operationType.equals(DELETE_OP)) { ExpandoBridge expandoBridge = user.getExpandoBridge(); stripeCustomerId = (String) expandoBridge.getAttribute(STRIPE_CUST_ID);

if (stripeCustomerId == null || stripeCustomerId.isEmpty()) { throw new NullPointerException(“Stripe Customer Id is empty”); } }

Map<String, Object> customerParams = new HashMap<>();

// Add name, email, and metadata in the map when operation equals to create or update if (!operationType.equals(DELETE_OP)) { Map<String, String> metadataParams = new HashMap<>(); metadataParams.put(“liferayUserId”, String.valueOf(user.getUserId()));

customerParams.put(“name”, user.getFullName()); customerParams.put(“email”, user.getEmailAddress()); customerParams.put(“metadata”, metadataParams); }

Customer customer = null;

// Operation-wise call a method of the stripe SDK if (operationType.equals(CREATE_OP)) { customer = Customer.create(customerParams); setExpando(user.getUserId(), STRIPE_CUST_ID, customer.getId()); } else if (operationType.equals(UPDATE_OP)) { Customer existingCustomer = Customer.retrieve(stripeCustomerId); customer = existingCustomer.update(customerParams); } else if (operationType.equals(DELETE_OP)) { Customer existingCustomer = Customer.retrieve(stripeCustomerId); customer = existingCustomer.delete(); }

log.info(operationType + ” operation is performed on the Stripe customer. (Data = Id: ” + customer.getId() + “, ” + “Name: ” + customer.getName() + “, Email: ” + customer.getEmail() + “)”);

} catch (NullPointerException e) { log.error(“Site custom field does not exist or is empty for the Stripe module: ” + e.getMessage()); } catch (StripeException e) { log.error(“Stripe Exception while performing ” + operationType + ” operation: ” + e.getMessage()); } }

Webhook API 

Params: payload and request 

This API will call when any update is there for the specified payment 

We must update the Liferay Object according to the status of the payment Intent Object. A few statuses are below of Payment Object 

payment_intent.amount_capturable_updated 

payment_intent.canceled 

payment_intent.created 

payment_intent.partially_funded 

payment_intent.payment_failed 

payment_intent.requires_action 

payment_intent.succeeded 

APIs wise Flow for the Stripe payment integration 

Create Payment Intent API 

Using Payment Intent API, we insert transaction data and status as incomplete in the stripe, so it takes a few parameters like Liferay user id, calendar event id, stripe customer id, total amount, and currency. It will return the payment Intent id and client secret.  

Get User Payment Detail Id if Not Prent Then Add  

Get the Parent object Id from the below API for passing it into  

We need the id of the parent object to make a relationship so we will call the user payment details headless API by passing the Liferay user id from the session storage. It will return the id in the items for the POST eventpayments API. 

If the above API items tab is empty, then you need to add user-related data in the user payment details object and take the id from the response and pass it in POST eventpayments API.

Add Data in Calendar Event Payment Object

The calendar Event object is used to track the event payment transaction data in our database.

To add an entry in the calendar event object after the payment intent success response because we are passing payment intent id as transaction id in the Object.

Add prices, quantity, payment status (default – in Complete), tax amt, total amt, transaction Id(Id from the create payment intent response), r_event_c_payment_id(id from the userpaymentdetails headless API), site id as 20119 as default value.

Conclusion

Integrating Stripe payment functionality with Liferay Development has proven to be a seamless and efficient solution for businesses seeking to streamline their online payment processes. By implementing this integration, businesses can offer their customers a secure and convenient payment experience, leading to increased customer satisfaction and loyalty.

A Journey of Growth, Learning, and Triumph with an Auto Major

Our inspirational journey about a renowned Auto Major deciding to join hands with us to scale its digital footprint worldwide

We believe that in the ever-evolving landscape of technology, collaboration and innovation can surface remarkable transformations. Almost two years back, we set sail on one such inspirational journey when a renowned Auto Major decided to join hands with us to scale its digital footprint worldwide. 

The result? A story of unwavering determination, profound growth, and an incredible transformation that extended beyond just the companies themselves.

From 8 to 100+ - The Journey of Digitization

Good work speaks for itself! Evon, a trusted Liferay portal development company, was recommended to the client by another company we had worked with. So even before that first call came, we were aware that we had to do our best to live up to the expectation. We did not disappoint. We were set to create secure applications and international business websites that would pave the way for the motor company to reach a wider international audience, digitally.

The COVID-19 pandemic has changed life, public health, and business altogether. The organization was already in the process of implementing digital transformation, pre-pandemic. However, there was a need to implement more digital capabilities in their work operations, and fast. Earlier, the customers went to the showroom to learn about the products and make a purchase. Now they needed to do that and more from the comfort of their homes through applications that we had to create.

At the very first step, our developers had to learn all about Sitecore, a closed-source software platform, and deliver a part of the product in a few week’s time. While the learning curve was steep, some developers were unsure about spending time learning a technology that was not sought-after. Nevertheless, the successful delivery of the product was valued by the client as it showcased our team’s sincerity and level of commitment.

Then, Sitecore was a very expensive platform. Evon already had the expertise to solve this problem for the client. We proposed a shift from Sitecore to Liferay, a digital experience platform, for the client’s digitization in one of the neighboring countries. The decision and the switch were not easy but the major advantage of bringing down the cost of the project to 1/10th of the original stood above all. The result was another successful delivery of a project, this time helping our client cut costs significantly!

Going forward, we realized centralized data (large databases) was hard to scale so we had to segregate the data according to different regions and migrate it to Liferay. Over time, we were able to make the data independent, proving that the solution we had suggested was scalable and the right choice for fulfilling the client’s requirements.

Ever since we have been working together on various projects to achieve digital transformation. While helping them build secure mobile applications and international business websites across countries, we have been automating manual processes, reducing errors, and improving their overall productivity and efficiency. As the number of projects we were assigned increased, so did our commitment and the strength of our team - from 8 to 100+. 

Our 2 years of Association: A Learning Expedition

The journey was not easy, but it has been one full of learning. We were bent on delivering a meaningful and personalized customer experience while keeping the client’s customers at the heart of our strategy.

As we delved deeper into the digital transformation process, we met with many challenges. Be it having to learn a new technology as fast as possible, or tight deadlines making our team train and work parallelly, to meet release deadlines. However, it was precisely in such moments that Evon’s team discovered its untapped potential, resilience, and collective strength. We honed our skills and emerged stronger and more confident.
