Setting Up Stripe

May 17, 2020


In this section we will get a stripe account setup. Head over to Stripe and sign up for an account, once you're all setup, you will land on the dashboard. We need to get the API Keys, so click on the "Developers" link on the left hand side:

stripe

Then click on API Keys:

stripe

Then copy the Secret key:

stripe

Next up create a .env file in the root of your project and the secret key :

STRIPE_SECRET_KEY = sk_test_stuff

Then in your serverless.yml file add the key in the environment part in the provider block:

provider:
  name: aws
  runtime: nodejs10.x
  stage: dev
  region: us-east-1
  profile: personalAccount
  environment:
    stripeSecretKey: ${env:STRIPE_SECRET_KEY}

This should be enough for us to complete the function now.
