How to replace Stripe Elements with Basis Theory Elements
Blog post from Basis Theory
Basis Theory Elements can replace Stripe Elements in a Next.js donation application to capture card data within a PCI-compliant environment while preserving Stripe for payment processing and reducing direct processor coupling. The process uses separate public and private Basis Theory applications, Stripe publishable and secret keys, and a Basis Theory Reactor configured to create Stripe payment methods securely. Developers replace Stripe’s provider and payment fields with Basis Theory’s React provider and CardElement, tokenize card details in the frontend, and send the resulting token and payment amount to a new backend endpoint. That endpoint passes the token to the Reactor, which detokenizes it only within the secure environment, creates a Stripe payment method, and returns its ID for Stripe to create and confirm a payment intent. The approach keeps plaintext card data out of the application, permits token storage and backend-controlled payment workflows, and can later support migration of existing Stripe payment methods, tokenization of other sensitive information, and use of alternative payment processors.
