How to Integrate Stripe Payments in Laravel<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Stripe is one of the most popular payment processors for web apps. Laravel makes it simple to integrate using the official stripe\/stripe-php<\/code> SDK. In this guide, you\u2019ll set up Stripe, create checkout sessions, handle webhooks, and build a small UI to accept payments securely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

1 – Install Stripe SDK<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Start by requiring the Stripe PHP SDK with Composer.<\/p>\n\n\n

composer require stripe\/stripe-php<\/code><\/span>Code language:<\/span> Bash<\/span> (<\/span>bash<\/span>)<\/span><\/small><\/pre>\n\n\n
This installs the official Stripe library, giving you access to Checkout Sessions, PaymentIntents, and webhooks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
2 – Configure API Keys<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Add your Stripe keys to .env<\/code> so you can access them securely in your code.<\/p>\n\n\nSTRIPE_KEY=pk_test_1234567890\nSTRIPE_SECRET=sk_test_1234567890\n\n\n
STRIPE_KEY<\/code> is the publishable key for the frontend, and STRIPE_SECRET<\/code> is the secret key used on the backend. Never expose the secret key in your views.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
3 – Checkout Controller<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Create a controller that initializes a Stripe Checkout Session when a user wants to make a purchase.<\/p>\n\n\n
\/\/ app\/Http\/Controllers\/CheckoutController.php<\/span>\nnamespace<\/span> App<\/span>\\Http<\/span>\\Controllers<\/span>;\n\nuse<\/span> Illuminate<\/span>\\Http<\/span>\\Request<\/span>;\nuse<\/span> Stripe<\/span>\\Stripe<\/span>;\nuse<\/span> Stripe<\/span>\\Checkout<\/span>\\Session<\/span> as<\/span> CheckoutSession<\/span>;\n\nclass<\/span> CheckoutController<\/span> extends<\/span> Controller<\/span>\n<\/span>{\n    public<\/span> function<\/span> create<\/span>(Request $request)<\/span>\n    <\/span>{\n        Stripe::setApiKey(config('services.stripe.secret'<\/span>));\n\n        $session = CheckoutSession::create([\n            'payment_method_types'<\/span> => ['card'<\/span>],\n            'line_items'<\/span> => [[\n                'price_data'<\/span> => [\n                    'currency'<\/span> => 'usd'<\/span>,\n                    'unit_amount'<\/span> => 1999<\/span>, \/\/ $19.99<\/span>\n                    'product_data'<\/span> => [\n                        'name'<\/span> => 'Pro Subscription'<\/span>,\n                    ],\n                ],\n                'quantity'<\/span> => 1<\/span>,\n            ]],\n            'mode'<\/span> => 'payment'<\/span>,\n            'success_url'<\/span> => url('\/payment-success?session_id={CHECKOUT_SESSION_ID}'<\/span>),\n            'cancel_url'<\/span> => url('\/payment-cancel'<\/span>),\n        ]);\n\n        return<\/span> response()->json(['id'<\/span> => $session->id]);\n    }\n}<\/code><\/span>Code language:<\/span> PHP<\/span> (<\/span>php<\/span>)<\/span><\/small><\/pre>\n\n\n
This method creates a checkout session for one product (Pro Subscription<\/code>) at $19.99. On success, Stripe redirects to \/payment-success<\/code>; if canceled, to \/payment-cancel<\/code>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
4 – Webhook Handling<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Stripe uses webhooks to notify your app about successful payments. Handle them to mark orders as paid.<\/p>\n\n\n
\/\/ app\/Http\/Controllers\/StripeWebhookController.php<\/span>\nnamespace<\/span> App<\/span>\\Http<\/span>\\Controllers<\/span>;\n\nuse<\/span> Illuminate<\/span>\\Http<\/span>\\Request<\/span>;\nuse<\/span> Stripe<\/span>\\Webhook<\/span>;\n\nclass<\/span> StripeWebhookController<\/span> extends<\/span> Controller<\/span>\n<\/span>{\n    public<\/span> function<\/span> handle<\/span>(Request $request)<\/span>\n    <\/span>{\n        $endpointSecret = config('services.stripe.webhook_secret'<\/span>);\n        $sigHeader = $request->header('Stripe-Signature'<\/span>);\n        $payload = $request->getContent();\n\n        try<\/span> {\n            $event = Webhook::constructEvent($payload, $sigHeader, $endpointSecret);\n        } catch<\/span> (\\Exception<\/span> $e) {\n            return<\/span> response()->json(['error'<\/span> => $e->getMessage()], 400<\/span>);\n        }\n\n        if<\/span> ($event->type === 'checkout.session.completed'<\/span>) {\n            $session = $event->data->object;\n            \/\/ Lookup order, mark as paid<\/span>\n        }\n\n        return<\/span> response()->json(['status'<\/span> => 'success'<\/span>]);\n    }\n}<\/code><\/span>Code language:<\/span> PHP<\/span> (<\/span>php<\/span>)<\/span><\/small><\/pre>\n\n\n
The webhook verifies the signature with webhook_secret<\/code>. On checkout.session.completed<\/code>, update your DB to reflect a successful payment. Always validate events this way to prevent spoofing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
5 – API Routes<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Add routes for creating checkout sessions and handling Stripe webhooks.<\/p>\n\n\n
\/\/ routes\/api.php<\/span>\nuse<\/span> App<\/span>\\Http<\/span>\\Controllers<\/span>\\CheckoutController<\/span>;\nuse<\/span> App<\/span>\\Http<\/span>\\Controllers<\/span>\\StripeWebhookController<\/span>;\n\nRoute::post('\/checkout'<\/span>, [CheckoutController::class, 'create'<\/span>]);\nRoute::post('\/stripe\/webhook'<\/span>, [StripeWebhookController::class, 'handle'<\/span>]);<\/code><\/span>Code language:<\/span> PHP<\/span> (<\/span>php<\/span>)<\/span><\/small><\/pre>\n\n\n
Clients call \/api\/checkout<\/code> to start a payment, and Stripe calls \/api\/stripe\/webhook<\/code> when payments succeed or fail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
6 – UI: Payment Button with Stripe.js<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Use Stripe.js on the frontend to redirect customers to the hosted checkout page.<\/p>\n\n\n
<!-- resources\/views\/payment.blade.php --><\/span>\n@extends('layouts.app')\n\n@section('content')\n<div<\/span> class<\/span>=\"container\"<\/span>><\/span>\n  <h1<\/span>><\/span>Buy Pro Subscription<\/h1<\/span>><\/span>\n  <button<\/span> id<\/span>=\"checkout-button\"<\/span> class<\/span>=\"btn btn-theme\"<\/span>><\/span>Pay $19.99<\/button<\/span>><\/span>\n<\/div<\/span>><\/span>\n\n<script<\/span> src<\/span>=\"https:\/\/js.stripe.com\/v3\/\"<\/span>><\/span><\/script<\/span>><\/span>\n<script<\/span>><\/span>\nconst<\/span> stripe = Stripe(\"{{ config('services.stripe.key') }}\"<\/span>);\n\ndocument<\/span>.getElementById(\"checkout-button\"<\/span>).addEventListener(\"click\"<\/span>, function<\/span>(<\/span>) <\/span>{\n  fetch(\"\/api\/checkout\"<\/span>, { method<\/span>: \"POST\"<\/span> })\n    .then(res<\/span> =><\/span> res.json())\n    .then(data<\/span> =><\/span> {\n      stripe.redirectToCheckout({ sessionId<\/span>: data.id });\n    });\n});\n<\/span><\/script<\/span>><\/span>\n@endsection<\/code><\/span>Code language:<\/span> HTML, XML<\/span> (<\/span>xml<\/span>)<\/span><\/small><\/pre>\n\n\n
This Blade file adds a payment button. When clicked, it requests a checkout session from Laravel, then redirects the user to Stripe Checkout securely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
Wrapping Up<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
You just integrated Stripe with Laravel by installing the SDK, configuring keys, creating checkout sessions, handling webhooks, and building a UI with Stripe.js. This flow ensures secure payments and reliable updates to your database when charges succeed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
