This demo uses a simple Echo application as the server.
app.go
contains the routes that interface with Stripe to create charges and receive webhook events.
You’ll need the following:
- Go 1.11 or later (for module support)
- Modern browser that supports ES6 (Chrome to see the Payment Request, and Safari to see Apple Pay)
- Stripe account to accept payments (sign up for free!)
- The Stripe CLI for local webhook forwarding.
Copy the example environment variables file .env.example
from the root of the repo into your own environment file called .env
:
cp .env.example .env
Run the application from this directory (after running cd server/go
):
go run app.go -root-directory=$(realpath ../..)
You should now see it running on http://localhost:4567/
We can use the Stripe CLI to forward webhook events to our local development server:
- Install the Stripe CLI.
- Follow the login steps to connect the CLI with your Stripe account.
- Run the
listen
command to forward the webhooks to loalhost:
stripe listen --forward-to http://localhost:4567/webhook
Note: You do not need to configure any webhook endpoints in your Dashboard to receive webhooks with the CLI.
The Stripe CLI will let you know that webhook forwarding is ready and output your webhook signing secret:
> Ready! Your webhook signing secret is whsec_xxx
Please copy the webhook signing secret (whsec_xxx
) to your .env
file.
