Overview
Full Stripe integration covering payments, subscriptions, invoicing, and billing. Handles checkout sessions, customer portal, webhooks, and error handling.
Workflow
- Install SDK -
npm install stripe or pip install stripe
- Configure - Set API keys (test + live), webhook endpoints
- Build checkout - Create checkout sessions or payment elements
- Handle webhooks - Process payment events (succeeded, failed, refunded)
- Manage customers - Create, update, attach payment methods
- Handle errors - Declined cards, expired tokens, rate limits
Anti-Rationalization Table
| Rationalization | Reality |
|---|
| "I will handle payments myself" | PCI compliance is complex - Stripe handles it for you |
| "Webhooks are optional" | Without webhooks, you miss failed payments, refunds, and disputes |
| "Test mode is enough" | Always test with real card numbers in live mode before launch |
Code Example (Node.js)
const stripe = require('stripe')(process.env.STRIPE_SECRET_KEY);
const session = await stripe.checkout.sessions.create({
mode: 'subscription',
payment_method_types: ['card'],
line_items: [{ price: 'price_xxx', quantity: 1 }],
success_url: 'https://example.com/success',
cancel_url: 'https://example.com/cancel',
});
app.post('/webhook', express.raw({type: 'application/json'}), (req, res) => {
const sig = req.headers['stripe-signature'];
const event = stripe.webhooks.constructEvent(req.body, sig, endpointSecret);
switch (event.type) {
case 'invoice.payment_succeeded': break;
case 'invoice.payment_failed': break;
}
res.json({received: true});
});
