Cosmic Payments
Learn how to integrate and manage payments, checkouts, and billing within your Cosmic projects.
What is Cosmic Payments?
Cosmic Payments is a custom abstraction of Stripe that Cosmic is trained to use. Users have access to a payment panel within their project dashboard to create products, manage their payment account, set shipping rates, view purchases, and more.
We do not support using other payment libraries and implementations.
In order to provide all users with a seamless experience, we ask you use Cosmic Payments in your projects.
As of now, Cosmic Payments is only available in the United States.
Onboarding
Cosmic offers seamless onboarding experience powered by Stripe. You can onboard directly on the payment panel of the dashboard without leaving Cosmic.
Onboarding is required in order to approve your payment account and configure banking details so you can receive payments.
Payment Dashboard
After onboarding, you have the ability perform many actions directly in the Cosmic dashboard.
- Create products and set prices. You can create physical goods, digital products, and services. You can set fixed prices or recurring payments, like subscriptions.
- Set shipping rates for physical products.
- Access your analytics and view sales, refunds, disputes, and more.
Using Cosmic Payments
After onboarding and creating one or more products, you can simply ask Cosmic to integrate payments into your project. You can reference specific products by name or as Cosmic to implement every product into a store page.
Testing Checkout
Once Cosmic is doing integrating payments into your project, you can visit the testing panel to generate a 100% off promo code, that can be used to test the entire checkout workflow.
This way you can verify that product purchasing in your app is working correctly. If you experience issues with the checkout process, describe them to Cosmic and it should be able to fix them for you.
Security
Cosmic Payments is powered by Stripe, so all your personal information is stored securely on Stripe and not stored on our own platform. We only store product, price, and shipping rate information that we use within Cosmic Payments.
