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.
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
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.
