Adding Stripe to Cobalt#

Pre-requisites#

First, set up your basic Cobalt environment (see Getting Started).

Stripe Setup#

Create an account with Stripe, you will need to use a unique email address, but Stripe allow you to have as many test accounts as you like. You can then create an API key through Stripe’s web site.

Go to https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/apikeys

Then add a webhook to Stripe:

https://dashboard.stripe.com/webhooks

We need two events to be sent:

  • payment_method.attached

  • charge.succeeded

The webhook location is:

https://<your environment>.myabf.com.au/payments/stripe-webhook

Environment Variable#

You need to set STRIPE_SECRET_KEY and STRIPE_PUBLISHABLE_KEY to the values that you set up in the previous step.

Running#

To run this in a hosted environment, you need to set up the web callback address within Stripe.

To run this in development, you need to install the Stripe API and run:

stripe login
stripe listen --forward-to 127.0.0.1:8000/payments/stripe-webhook
