Installing Stripe Integration

Learn how to install and configure the Stripe integration in your workflow environment.

​
Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have:

  • A Stripe account (test or production)
  • API keys from your Stripe Dashboard
  • Webhook endpoint configuration capability
  • SSL enabled for your endpoints

​
Installation Steps

​
1. Get API Keys

  1. Log in to your Stripe Dashboard
  2. Navigate to Developers → API keys
  3. Copy your publishable and secret keys
  4. Store them securely in your environment
# Example environment variables
STRIPE_PUBLISHABLE_KEY=pk_test_...
STRIPE_SECRET_KEY=sk_test_...

​
2. Configure Webhooks

  1. Go to Developers → Webhooks in your Stripe Dashboard
  2. Add an endpoint URL
  3. Select events to monitor
  4. Save your webhook signing secret
{
  "webhook_endpoint": {
    "url": "https://your-domain.com/stripe/webhook",
    "secret": "whsec_..."
  }
}

​
3. Install Dependencies

Add the required dependencies to your project:

{
  "dependencies": {
    "@stripe/stripe-js": "^1.54.0",
    "@stripe/stripe-node": "^12.0.0"
  }
}

​
4. Initialize Configuration

Set up your configuration file:

{
  "stripe": {
    "apiVersion": "2023-10-16",
    "publishableKey": "pk_test_...",
    "secretKey": "sk_test_...",
    "webhookSecret": "whsec_...",
    "environment": "test"
  }
}

​
Environment Setup

​
Development Environment

{
  "stripe": {
    "environment": "test",
    "apiKey": "sk_test_..."
  }
}

​
Production Environment

{
  "stripe": {
    "environment": "production",
    "apiKey": "sk_live_..."
  }
}

​
Security Best Practices

  1. Never expose secret keys in client-side code
  2. Use environment variables for sensitive data
  3. Implement proper key rotation
  4. Use webhook signatures for verification
  5. Follow PCI compliance guidelines

​
Testing the Installation

  1. Make a test API call:
{
  "test": {
    "type": "stripe.createPaymentIntent",
    "params": {
      "amount": 1000,
      "currency": "usd"
    }
  }
}
  1. Verify webhook reception:
{
  "test": {
    "type": "stripe.webhook",
    "event": "payment_intent.succeeded"
  }
}

​
Troubleshooting

Common issues and solutions:

  • API key errors: Verify key permissions
  • Webhook failures: Check endpoint URL and signature
  • Authentication errors: Confirm API version
  • Network issues: Check SSL configuration
