In this tutorial, we will see how to integrate stripe payment with Node js and React js, in this first part we will handle the backend logic so I assume that you have already created a stripe account and you have your API keys.
Install the packages
First, let's install the packages that we need.
npm install stripe --save
Create the route
Next, let's create the route I name it 'paymentRouter', this route will receive the amount to pay and send the client secret to the front end.
import express from 'express';
import stripe from 'stripe';
// This is your test secret API key.
const Stripe = new stripe('YOUR SECRET KEY');
const paymentRouter = express.Router();
paymentRouter.post("/pay", async (req, res) => {
const { amount } = req.body;
// Create a PaymentIntent with the order amount and currency
const paymentIntent = await Stripe.paymentIntents.create({
amount,
currency: "usd",
// In the latest version of the API, specifying the `automatic_payment_methods` parameter is optional because Stripe enables its functionality by default.
automatic_payment_methods: {
enabled: true,
},
});
res.send({
clientSecret: paymentIntent.client_secret,
});
});
export default paymentRouter;
Use the route
Next, let's import and use the route inside the index.js file.
import express from "express";
import cors from "cors";
import mongoose from "mongoose";
import paymentRouter from './routes/paymentRouter.js';
const app = express();
app.use(express.json());
app.use(cors());
app.use('/order', paymentRouter);
//connect to the database
mongoose.connect('YOUR DATABASE LINK').then(() => {
app.listen(3001, () => {
console.log('App is running on port 3001');
});
}).catch(error => console.log(error));
