There are several ways to use Stripe with web2py. You can use the standard Stripe javascript widget (which is what I do) all the way to building a custom form and handling the two-phase transaction cycle yourself (not recommended for a host of reasons).
Using the Javascript widget, you will pass in an amount to charge when you init the widget. The user then supplies his credit card number and pays the amount. If you want the user to choose the amount he is willing to pay, do it BEFORE you init the Strip widget. Then, by the time the widget is called up the amount is known, just like every other Stripe transaction. Not sure why you are unable to track payments by user. This is something you would handle outside of Stripe. Presumably these users have some sort of account with your site and you have information you keep for each user. It becomes your own database task to track the total amounts and aging of amounts (0-30 days, 30-60, etc.) Warm regards, Joe On Sunday, October 23, 2016 at 2:12:45 PM UTC-7, Jaimee S wrote: > > Hi, > > I've read through the stripe documents and i had a few questions. > > I see how it's possible to integrate stripe into web2py, but i don't see > how you can have an open amount which would allow the user to pay however > much they choose.
