Q: what is the difference between Stripe 'inline' and the new 'Stripe Checkout'?
It is all to do with:
- range of payment methods you offer as a store
- how integrated you want the experience to be
BRM's default - for many years now - has been to offer Stripe 'inline'. This means that your customers can pay (or leave a deposit) right inside our online booking.
Here is an example (with dummy credit card data)
The new Stripe Checkout does offer more payment options, but there are two implications:
- customers will be redirected to Stripe to complete payment
- you need to set up webhooks - so that your BRM is notified when these payments take place
When your customers pay they will be taken to a new page to complete payment.
(but there will be far more options for payment on that page)
Here is a quick pros / cons table
| Stripe inline | Stripe Inline NEW | Stripe checkout | |
| payment methods | |||
| credit cards |  |  |  |
| Apple Pay |  |  | |
| Google Pay |  |  | |
| 'bank transfer payment methods' like iDEAL, SOFORT |  |  | |
| setup / experience | |||
| same page as booking experience |  |  | |
| setup: need to setup webhooks |  | ||
| experience: customer will leave to complete payment |  | ||
| functionality | |||
| full payment |  |  |  |
| partial payment |  |  |  |
| zero payment (card vault behaviour) |  |  |
