# Implementing in Your Project

## **Step 5 - Environment Configuration**

Ensure all necessary environment variables are set in your `.env` file:

```bash
STRIPE_SECRET_KEY=sk_test_your_secret_key
STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRET=whsec_your_webhook_secret
```

These variables are crucial for authenticating with Stripe and GitHub.

## Step 6 - Register the Webhook Endpoint

### In Stripe Dashboard:

1. Go to **Developers > Webhooks**.
2. Click **Add endpoint**.
3. Enter your live webhook endpoint URL (e.g., `https://yourdomain.com/api/webhook`).

### Select Events:

* Choose the events you want Stripe to send to your endpoint, such as `checkout.session.completed`.

***

## Step 7 - Test the Webhook

To ensure everything is set up correctly:

### Run Your Application Locally:

Start your development server.

### Use Stripe CLI:

1. **Install the Stripe CLI**.
2. Run the following command to forward events to your local webhook endpoint:

```bash
stripe listen --forward-to localhost:4200/api/webhook
```

### **Simulate Events:**

* Use the CLI or Stripe Dashboard to trigger test events.
* Verify that the webhook receives the events and processes them correctly.

### Review Logs:

Check your application logs to ensure there were no errors during the process.

## Final Notes

### Code Comments:

The webhook.ts file includes comprehensive comments explaining each part of the webhook handling process. Customers are encouraged to read these comments to gain a deeper understanding.

### Customization:

* You can modify the webhook logic to suit your specific needs.
* Consider adding error handling, logging, or additional features as required.

### Security:

* Keep your API keys and tokens secure.
* Do not commit them to version control or expose them publicly.

**Congratulations! You have successfully integrated Stripe into your SSK-Pro project.**
