FeaturesPayments

Setup

Create a new account on Stripe and activate payments (boring, I know.. see you in a bit!)
In your [Settings], [Public Details], add your website URL
In your [Settings], [Branding], add your logo & colors
In your [Settings], [Customer Emails], turn on emails for successful payments & refunds
In your [Settings], [Customer Portal], activate link to customer portal (in case you need later)
In the search box, type 'rules' and click [Fraud Prevention > Rules] , make sure the firsrt 3DS rule is enabled. I also turn on the second one (recommended). Make sure to block payments if CVV fails (check below)
Turn ON Test Mode
Create a new product and copy the price ID (price_1ju5GD464564) in config.stripe.plans[0].priceId in the config.js file.
In your [Developers], copy your public & private keys and add them to STRIPE_SECRET_KEY & STRIPE_PUBLIC_KEY in .env.local
To set up the webhook locally, follow the steps in [Developers], [Webhook], [Test in local environment]. After login to Stripe CLI, use this command to forward webhook events to our API:
terminal
```
1stripe listen --forward-to localhost:3000/api/webhook/stripe
```

Going to production?

Turn OFF Test Mode
In your [Developers], copy your public & private keys and add them to STRIPE_SECRET_KEY & STRIPE_PUBLIC_KEY in your production environment variables.
In your [Developers], [Webhook], [Add Enpoint]. Set your domain + /api/webhook/stripe. Select [checkout.session.completed] event (or more if needed). Copy the signing secret and add it to STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRET in your production environment variables.
Optional: In [Balance], [Manage Payouts], set a specific date of the month to receive your payouts (I use the 10th of each month)

Create a checkout

From the fron-end, use the apiClient (/libs/api.js) to POST our API at /stripe/create-checkout with the priceId & success/cancel URLs

Stripe webhooks

Our API listens to Stripe selected webhooks events & update the user accordingly. The /api/webhook/stripe endpoint is where you do the business logic (add user to a plan, add credits, send email with paid e-books etc.)
