Installing Stripe in Your Application

Chapter 2: Installing Stripe in Your Application

Step 4 - Install Stripe Package

In your project directory, run:

npm install stripe

This installs the Stripe library needed to interact with Stripe's API.

Step 5 - Configure the Webhook Endpoint

The webhook endpoint handles events from Stripe, such as successful payments.

1. Set Up API Route: Create an API route in your application (e.g., /api/stripe/webhook) to receive webhook events.

2. Webhook Handler:

   • The webhook handler is responsible for processing incoming events.

   • It verifies the event signature and handles different event types accordingly.

Note: The webhook.ts file in your project contains detailed comments explaining how the webhook processes events, and example of how to add collaborators to GitHub, and logs transactions. Customers can read these comments to understand the implementation.
