Stripe Integration
Master Stripe payment processing integration for robust, PCI-compliant payment flows including checkout, subscriptions, webhooks, and refunds.
Do not use this skill when
- The task is unrelated to stripe integration
- You need a different domain or tool outside this scope
Instructions
- Clarify goals, constraints, and required inputs.
- Apply relevant best practices and validate outcomes.
- Provide actionable steps and verification.
- If detailed examples are required, open
resources/implementation-playbook.md.
Use this skill when
- Implementing payment processing in web/mobile applications
- Setting up subscription billing systems
- Handling one-time payments and recurring charges
- Processing refunds and disputes
- Managing customer payment methods
- Implementing SCA (Strong Customer Authentication) for European payments
- Building marketplace payment flows with Stripe Connect
Core Concepts
1. Payment Flows
Checkout Session (Hosted)
- Stripe-hosted payment page
- Minimal PCI compliance burden
- Fastest implementation
- Supports one-time and recurring payments
Payment Intents (Custom UI)
- Full control over payment UI
- Requires Stripe.js for PCI compliance
- More complex implementation
- Better customization options
Setup Intents (Save Payment Methods)
- Collect payment method without charging
- Used for subscriptions and future payments
- Requires customer confirmation
2. Webhooks
Critical Events:
payment_intent.succeeded: Payment completedpayment_intent.payment_failed: Payment failedcustomer.subscription.updated: Subscription changedcustomer.subscription.deleted: Subscription canceledcharge.refunded: Refund processedinvoice.payment_succeeded: Subscription payment successful
3. Subscriptions
Components:
- Product: What you're selling
- Price: How much and how often
- Subscription: Customer's recurring payment
- Invoice: Generated for each billing cycle
4. Customer Management
- Create and manage customer records
- Store multiple payment methods
- Track customer metadata
- Manage billing details
Quick Start
import stripe
stripe.api_key = "sk_test_..."
# Create a checkout session
session = stripe.checkout.Session.create(
payment_method_types=['card'],
line_items=[{
'price_data': {
'currency': 'usd',
'product_data': {
'name': 'Premium Subscription',
},
'unit_amount': 2000, # $20.00
'recurring': {
'interval': 'month',
},
},
'quantity': 1,
}],
mode='subscription',
success_url='https://yourdomain.com/success?session_id={CHECKOUT_SESSION_ID}',
cancel_url='https://yourdomain.com/cancel',
)
# Redirect user to session.url
print(session.url)
Payment Implementation Patterns
Pattern 1: One-Time Payment (Hosted Checkout)
def create_checkout_session(amount, currency='usd'):
"""Create a one-time payment checkout session."""
try:
session = stripe.checkout.Session.create(
payment_method_types=['card'],
line_items=[{
'price_data': {
'currency': currency,
'product_data': {
'name': 'Purchase',
'images': ['https://example.com/product.jpg'],
},
'unit_amount': amount, # Amount in cents
},
'quantity': 1,
}],
mode='payment',
success_url='https://yourdomain.com/success?session_id={CHECKOUT_SESSION_ID}',
cancel_url='https://yourdomain.com/cancel',
metadata={
'order_id': 'order_123',
'user_id': 'user_456'
}
)
return session
except stripe.error.StripeError as e:
# Handle error
print(f"Stripe error: {e.user_message}")
raise
Pattern 2: Custom Payment Intent Flow
def create_payment_intent(amount, currency='usd', customer_id=None):
"""Create a payment intent for custom checkout UI."""
intent = stripe.PaymentIntent.create(
amount=amount,
currency=currency,
customer=customer_id,
automatic_payment_methods={
'enabled': True,
},
metadata={
'integration_check': 'accept_a_payment'
}
)
return intent.client_secret # Send to frontend
# Frontend (JavaScript)
"""
const stripe = Stripe('pk_test_...');
const elements = stripe.elements();
const cardElement = elements.create('card');
cardElement.mount('#card-element');
const {error, paymentIntent} = await stripe.confirmCardPayment(
clientSecret,
{
payment_method: {
card: cardElement,
billing_details: {
name: 'Customer Name'
}
}
}
);
