Stripe Setup

Laratic uses Stripe via Laravel Cashier (Stripe) for subscriptions and one-time payments. Most of the things you need fot the Stripe has already been configured for you, you just need to create a Stripe account and add your keys to the .env file.

1. Create a Stripe Account (Test Mode)

Create a Stripe account and make sure you are in Test mode while setting things up.

2. Add Environment Variables

Add your Stripe keys and webhook secret to your .env file:

STRIPE_KEY=pk_test_XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
STRIPE_SECRET=sk_test_XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRET=whsec_XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

After updating environment variables, clear and cache configuration:

php artisan config:clear
php artisan config:cache

3. Stripe Webhook Endpoint

Cashier registers the Stripe webhook endpoint at:

POST /stripe/webhook

CSRF

This project already excludes stripe/* from CSRF validation in bootstrap/app.php, so Stripe can call the webhook endpoint.

Continue with Stripe Webhooks to configure and test events end-to-end.

4. Go Live

When you are ready to go live:

Switch to Live mode in Stripe.
Replace STRIPE_KEY / STRIPE_SECRET with live keys.
Create a live webhook endpoint and set STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRET to the live signing secret.
