Stripe

We use Stripe to handle payments and subscriptions. This guide will walk you through the process of setting up Stripe for local development.

Prerequisites

1. Stripe Account: If you don't have one already, create a free Stripe account at https://dashboard.stripe.com/register.
2. Memogic Stripe Organization Access: Contact the Memogic team to be added to the organization's Stripe account. This grants you the necessary permissions.
3. Stripe CLI: Install the Stripe CLI tool following the instructions on https://docs.stripe.com/stripe-cli. The Stripe CLI lets you interact with Stripe directly from your terminal.

Local Webhook Forwarding

After installing the CLI, log in to your Stripe account using the following command:

stripe login

Start the webhook forwarding by running the following command:

stripe listen --forward-to localhost:5000/stripe/webhook

This redirects webhooks from Stripe's testing environment to your local machine on port 5000, specifically the /stripe/webhook route.

info

Ensure that port 5000 is correct for your local API. If it’s not, adjust the port in the command as needed.

Manually triggering Events

The stripe-CLI allows to manually trigger events. This can be useful for testing.

This command creates a payment_intent.canceled-Event and adds a customer to it (because that's how it is in production):

stripe trigger payment_intent.canceled --add payment_intent:customer=cus_RDW8V59IHgcody
