Overview

Here we will talk about how to use and test Stripe Payments with Blueprint.

Initialising Stripe

In order to use Stripe Payments in your app, you must first add a Stripe Publishable Key (found in your stripe developers dashboard) to your vercel environment variables. The key should be named NEXT_PUBLIC_STRIPE_PUBLISHABLE_KEY, with the value being your Stripe Publishable Key (ensuring that you're using the correct test v live mode key per environment). It should look something like this: pk_test_qblFNYngBkEdjEZ16jxxoWSM.

Using Stripe Payments

An example of using Stripe Payments can be found in the one-off card payments flow.

Testing Stripe Payments

While in any non-production environments you should ensure the Stripe Publishable Key you're using in the Initialising Stripe step are in test mode. This will allow you to make payments using test credit card details (examples here). Once you have made a test payment, you can verify the payment on the ledger payments and charges page.
