Hey Front community!
We’re thrilled to showcase a new example of leveraging Front Connectors to process refunds in Stripe directly from your Front inbox. The best part is, the full walkthrough takes less than 15 minutes and there is no coding required! This setup involves just 3 app requests and 1 macro, allowing teammates to easily select the customer, the payment to apply the refund to, and the amount to refund. Teammates will also see a confirmation message once the refund has been successfully processed in Stripe.
Pre-requisites:
Before diving in, make sure you’ve done the following in Stripe:
- Have access to your Stripe dashboard
- We recommend switching to your sandbox for testing
- Within your sandbox, you’ll want to add customers and invoices with payments charged via test credit cards so that the Front Connectors have access to usable data. You can do this in the dashboard; no coding required.
- Make note of your API keys for the sandbox environment (you can switch to a production key once you’ve tested things out in Front). Refer to the Stripe docs to learn where to find your keys.
If you need help with setting up a Stripe account or configuring the sandbox, here are some helpful resources from Stripe docs:
