How to prevent stripe checkout from opening new tab on mobile

[Binyamin]

We are using the stripe checkout in our web-page in an embedded browser. The issue is the mobile experience with the stripe widget opens a new browser to go through the stripe checkout workflow; however, this browser does not allow more than one window to be opened. Is there a way to get the stripe checkout to either: use the modal on mobile, similar to the desktop-based workflow or to do the workflow in the same window instead of opening a new one.

Hey,

It's not possible to tweak Checkout to open directly as a modal on mobile. It will always open as a new tab as it makes for a better experience for customers and helps with conversions. Since your browser specifically can't open a new tab, you'll need to use Stripe.js [1] and build your own form [2] instead.

All the best,

Remi

There is no chance of you adding some sort of same window support. It does not have to be modal based it can just be the same as what already exists except in the same tab. I'd rather not have to re-do what you've already done.

Hey,

This is not something we have planned at the moment no. If you can't open a new tab then you'd need to build your own payment form at the moment.

All the best,
