# Stripe Payments Add Stripe payments to a web app. Covers the common patterns — one-time payments, subscriptions, webhooks, customer portal — with working code. No MCP server needed. ## Which Stripe API Do I Need? | You want to... | Use | Complexity | |----------------|-----|-----------| | Accept a one-time payment | Checkout Sessions | Low — Stripe hosts the payment page | | Embed a payment form in your UI | Payment Element + Payment Intents | Medium — you build the form, Stripe handles the card | | Recurring billing / subscriptions | Checkout Sessions (subscription mode) | Low-Medium | | Save a card for later | Setup Intents | Low | | Marketplace / platform payments | Stripe Connect | High | | Let customers manage billing | Customer Portal | Low — Stripe hosts it | **Default recommendation**: Start with Checkout Sessions. It's the fastest path to accepting money. You can always add embedded forms later. ## Setup ### Install ```bash npm install stripe @stripe/stripe-js ``` ### API Keys ```bash # Get keys from: https://dashboard.stripe.com/apikeys # Test keys start with sk_test_ and pk_test_ # Live keys start with sk_live_ and pk_live_ # For Cloudflare Workers — store as secrets: npx wrangler secret put STRIPE_SECRET_KEY npx wrangler secret put STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRET # For local dev — .dev.vars: STRIPE_SECRET_KEY=sk_test_...
