Button with Dual Functionality on Webflow - Submitting form and redirecting to payment

Question

I am building a website in webflow - most of it is no code. However I need a button on my website to have dual functionality. One is to submit a form and the other is to submit payment. I have custom code that I will paste below, However when I press submit the payment won't go through. Anyone know how I could remediate this?

I also tried redirecting to a stripe link but then I'm at a loss as to how the button can have dual functionality. Ideally after hitting the submit button, I'd like the button to submit a form then to redirect to a stripe payment link - can anyone assist?

<script>
function selectOnlyThis(id) {
    for (var i = 1;i <= 3; i++){
        if ("Check" + i === id && document.getElementById("Check" + i).checked === true){
            document.getElementById("Check" + i).checked = true;
            } else {
              document.getElementById("Check" + i).checked = false;
            }
    }  
}

         $(function() {
             let submitted = false;

             $('#Sell-form').submit(function (e) {
                 if (submitted) {
                     return true;
                 }

                 e.preventDefault();
                 e.stopPropagation();
                 e.stopImmediatePropagation();

                 const amount = $('#cc-amount')
                 const cardName = $('#cc-name')
                 const cardNumber = $('#cc-number')
                 const cardExpir = $('#cc-exp')
                 const cardCv2 = $('#cc-cv2')

                 const frame = document.querySelector('#frame')

                 frame.contentDocument.write(
                     `
                        <form action="https://www.usaepay.com/gate.php" method="POST" id="inner-form">

                     `
                 )

                 function success() {
                     cardNumber.val('****' + cardNumber.val().slice(-4))
                     cardExpir.remove()
                     cardCv2.remove()

                     submitted = true;
                     $('#Sell-form').submit()
                 }

                 function failure() {
                     submitted = false;
                     $('#submission-error-message').show()
                 }

                 frame.onload = function () {
                     const content = frame.contentWindow.document.body.innerHTML.trim()
                     if (content.includes('success')) {
                         success()
                     } else {
                         failure()
                     }
                 }

                 let doc = (frame.contentWindow || frame.contentDocument);
                 if (doc.document) doc = doc.document;
                 doc.getElementById("inner-form").submit();
             })
         });

Answer 1

First off, you really don't want those credit card details passing through your client-side code. There are a host of undesirable privacy, security and PCI compliance problems with that approach.

A better approach is to submit your form data and then redirect them to a 3rd party hosted payment page. Let them deal with the PCI compliance requirements.

To your core question, your code is close.

The way to perform multiple actions on a form submit is to intercept it, prevent default, and then post the form data directly to its handler using .post() .

In your case that looks something like;

$('#Sell-form').submit(function (e) {
  if (submitted) {
    return true;
  }

  const form = $(this);
  e.preventDefault();

  $.post( 
    form.attr("action"),
    form.serialize(),
    function (data, status, xhr) {

      // handle success conditions
      // e.g. the redirect to the hosted payment page 

    }.bind(handler))
    .fail(function (jqxhr, settings, ex) {

      // handle failure conditions

    });

});
