Connect the Stripe API with PHP | Stripe Integeration

If you're building a PHP website and want to accept payments, the Stripe API is a powerful and easy-to-use solution. In this tutorial, we'll walk through the steps to set up Stripe and start making API requests in PHP

Sign up for a Stripe account and get your API keys

The first step is to create a Stripe account and get your API keys. Head to the Stripe website and sign up for an account. Once you're logged in, go to the dashboard and click on the "Developers" tab. From here, you can find your "publishable" and "secret" keys. You'll need these keys to authenticate your API requests.

Install the Stripe PHP library

To use the Stripe API in your PHP code, you'll need to install the Stripe PHP library. You can do this by running the following command:

composer require stripe/stripe-php

This will install the library and add it to your composer.json file

Include the library in your PHP code and set your API keys

Next, include the Stripe library in your PHP code and set your API keys. You can do this with the following code

\Stripe\Stripe::setApiKey('sk_test_your_secret_key_here');

Replace "your_secret_key_here" with your actual secret key.

Make API requests

Now that you've set up the Stripe library and authenticated your API requests, you're ready to start making requests. For example, to create a charge for a customer, you can use the create method of the Charge class

try {
    $charge = \Stripe\Charge::create(array(
      "amount" => 1000,
      "currency" => "usd",
      "customer" => $customer_id,
      "description" => "Example charge"
    ));
    echo 'Charge successfully created';
} catch (\Stripe\Error\Card $e) {
    // The card has been declined
    echo 'Charge declined: ' . $e->getMessage();
}

This code creates a charge of $10.00 (1000 cents) for the customer with the ID $customer_id.

That's it! You're now set up to use the Stripe API in your PHP website. With the powerful features of the Stripe API, you can easily accept payments, create customers, and more.
