How to add (backend) stripe payment method in Laravel?

In this complete tutorial, we will learn how to integrate Laravel stripe payments. We will look at a Laravel payment gateway integration example.

To add the Stripe payment method in Laravel, you can use the Stripe PHP library.

1. First, you will need to install the Stripe PHP library in your Laravel project. You can do this using Composer by running the following command:

composer require stripe/stripe-php

2. Next, you will need to sign up for a Stripe account and obtain your Stripe API keys. You can find your API keys in the Stripe dashboard under the “Developers” tab.
3. In your Laravel application, you will need to configure the Stripe PHP library with your API keys. You can do this by adding the following code to your .env file:

STRIPE_SECRET=sk_test_0000000000000000
STRIPE_PUBLISHABLE=pk_test_00000000000

4. To accept payment using Stripe, you will need to create a form that includes a credit card input field and a submit button. You can use Stripe Elements to create a customizable credit card form that is compatible with Stripe’s payment processing.
5. When the form is submitted, you can use the Stripe PHP library to create a charge using the \Stripe\Charge::create() method. This method takes an array of parameters as an argument, including the amount to be charged, the credit card details, and the currency.

Here is a sample code that demonstrates how to accept a payment using Stripe in Laravel:

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Stripe\Charge;
use Stripe\Stripe;

class PaymentController extends Controller
{
    public function charge(Request $request)
    {
        // Set your secret key: remember to change this to your live secret key in production
        // See your keys here: https://dashboard.stripe.com/account/apikeys
        Stripe::setApiKey(env('STRIPE_SECRET'));

        // Token is created using Checkout or Elements!
        // Get the payment token ID submitted by the form:
        $token = $request->stripeToken;

        // Charge the user's card:
        $charge = Charge::create([
            'amount' => 1000,
            'currency' => 'usd',
            'description' => 'Example charge',
            'source' => $token,
        ]);

        return redirect()->route('home')->with('success', 'Payment successful!');
    }
}

Card numbers to test payment integration

You can use the following card data for testing purposes and ensure that your integration works as expected.
