Integrated example application using Stripe's Charges API.
Python 3.4.3 or later is required to run this application. You can have multiple Python versions (2.x and 3.x) installed on the same system without problems. See Python Virtual Environments for more information.
See requirements.txt above for required packages or install using pip install as shown here.
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
Prior to running the server it is necessary to add your Stripe keys, or use your Testing Pays keys. Then run the server, using the manage.py file.
$ python manage.py runserver 8000 --settings=tp_python_stripe_example.settings.dev
STRIPE_PUBLISHABLE = os.getenv('STRIPE_PUBLISHABLE', '<insert-your-publishable-stripe-key-here>')
# Testing Pays Configurations
# Use your Testing Pays API key here
STRIPE_SECRET = os.getenv('STRIPE_SECRET', '<insert-your-private-stripe-key-here>')
The dev.py within the settings folder allows for testing settings to be kept separate from production settings. Update both the STRIPE_PUBLISHABLE
key that you got from Stripe and STRIPE_SECRET
key available from Testing Pays within the dev.py
file. The Stripe base url is also updated within the dev settings file to point to the Testing Pays API.
Stripe.setPublishableKey('<insert-your-publishable-stripe-key-here>');
In addition, update the Stripe.setPublishableKey
with your Stripe Publishable key in the charges.js
file.
Testing Pays lets you test and simulate more than you would be able to do with regular API sandboxes. The application is setup so you can avail using your Testing Pays API key to test and prepare for errors, validation issues, server errors or even network outages.
# Testing Pays Configurations
TESTINGPAYS_API_KEY = "<insert-your-testing-pays-api-key-here>"
# ...
STRIPE_SECRET = os.environ.get("STRIPE_SECRET", TESTINGPAYS_API_KEY)
# Set the base URL to Testing Pays API
STRIPE_BASE_URL = "https://api.testingpays.com/{0}/stripe/v1/charges".format(TESTINGPAYS_API_KEY)
@require_http_methods(['POST'])
def charges(request):
if settings.STRIPE_BASE_URL:
stripe.api_base = settings.STRIPE_BASE_URL
try:
stripe.Charge.create(
amount=remove_decimal_places(extract_amount(request)),
currency='EUR',
description='Charge for [email protected]',
source=request.POST['stripeToken'],
)
except stripe.error.CardError as error:
As shown in the code snippet above (see views.py), the charges
route checks if the stripe.api_key
has been set prior to creating the Stripe charge. This api_key
is only set for development evironments. When running in production the STRIPE_BASE_URL
will be empty and therefore the default Stripe key will be used.
