Installing Stripe Integration

​

Prerequisites

• 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

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

​

4. Initialize Configuration

{
  "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"
    }
  }
}

2. Verify webhook reception:

{
  "test": {
    "type": "stripe.webhook",
    "event": "payment_intent.succeeded"
  }
}

​

Troubleshooting

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