Flask Stripe Connect Onboarding

This is a pip package which makes integrating Stripe connect easier between projects.

It will automatically register some routes, needed to complete Stripe connect onboarding.

Example installation

To use flask_saas in your flask project, install this package within your existing flask project

Clone this repo to outside of your flask project directory.

Then install flask_saas to your existing flask project.

cd <path/to/your flask/project>
# Activate your venv
. venv/bin/activate

# Install `flask_saas`

pip install -e /path/to/where/you/cloned/this/repo

Assumptions

• You have a Stripe account
• In your existing flask appliction, you can/are storiing the following information somwhere/somehow in your app (e.g. in your config, database, environment settings, a mix of either)
  • stripe_secret_key
  • stripe_business_profile
  • stripe connect account id
  • stripe_livemode (true/false, 1/0)
  • stripe_connect_completed_status (true/false, 1/0) - a boolean to track if stripe connect onboarding has completed or not

Example usage

1.

In your main flask app, inside create_app

from flask import Flask
import os 

from flask_saas import Flask_SaaS

def create_app(test_config=None):
    app = Flask(__name__)

    app.config.update(os.environ)


    # Initialize flask_saas
    Flask_SaaS(
        app,
        get_stripe_secret_key=get_stripe_secret_key,
        get_stripe_business_profile=get_stripe_business_profile,
        get_stripe_connect_account=get_stripe_connect_account,
        get_stripe_livemode=get_stripe_livemode,
        set_stripe_livemode=set_stripe_livemode(livemode: int),
        get_stripe_connect_account_id=get_stripe_connect_account_id,
        set_stripe_connect_account_id=set_stripe_connect_account_id,
        get_stripe_connect_completed_status=get_stripe_connect_completed_status,
        set_stripe_connect_completed_status=set_stripe_connect_completed_status(status: bool),
    )

    @app.route("/")
    def hello_world():
        return "<p>Hello, World!</p>"

    return app

Start your app as normal flask run, then navigate to /stripe-connect and you will see the Stripe onboarding process.

Note, you have to write the functions above to tell flask_saas how to connect to your existing flask application. This makes flask_saas flexibily and (hopefully) eaiser to integrate with your existing application/database or object store.

For example, to implement get_stripe_secret_key, if your flask application stores your Stripe key as an environment variable called STRIPE_SECRET_KEY, then you might write (before Flask_Saas instantiation):

def get_stripe_secret_key():
    return os.getenv("STRIPE_SECRET_KEY")

2. Create link to Stripe connect onboarding

In your flask application, create a link to the route stripe-connect.index to start the Stripe onboarding process.

For example: create a template called stripe-connect.html, and write:

{% extends "layout.html" %}
{% block body %}
  <h2>Connect to Stripe</h2>
  <a href="{{ url_for('stripe_connect.index') }}">Connect to Stripe</a>
{% endblock %}

Reload your application, and you should see a link to stripe-connect.
