# How to take payment via Stripe in Automation flow ?

To integrate Stripe payment in WhatsApp automations, start by creating a flow with a trigger for when a new order is received, and the user selects online payment.

The first step is to add a new block to multiply the total amount by 100, as payment apps automatically take the lowest unit of money.

To do this, add a new automation app, search for "calculator", and select the "multiply" block, then enter the values manually and save the result.

Map the order total to the first number and 100 to the second number, and then click on save.

Next, add a new automation app, search for "Stripe", and select "create checkout".

Create a new authentication by clicking on "create new authentication" and entering a label, then in stripe click on "developers" and "API keys" to create a restricted key.

Select "building your own integration" and continue, then enter a name and select the permissions you want to give, including read permissions for charges, write permission for payment links, payment intents, and checkout sessions.

Create the key and enter the OTP for verification, then copy the API key and paste it into the authentication.

After selecting authentication, add a product name and map the charge amount to the result from the multiplication, then map the currency and quantity.

Add a success URL and cancel URL, which will redirect the user when the payment is successful or cancelled.

Add data manually to "run and save" and  then map properly and save.

In the next block, select the "question block" and add a CTA URL button message, then map the URL and click on save.

This will allow you to share the checkout URL with your users.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://helpdocumentation.gitbook.io/user/automations-builder/how-to-take-payment-via-stripe-in-automation-flow.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
