# Set up subscriptions with Stripe Billing
This sample shows how to create a customer and subscribe them to a plan with
[Stripe Billing](https://stripe.com/billing). For the official documentation
for Stripe billing checkout the [overview](https://stripe.com/docs/billing).

The hosted demos linked above are running in test mode -- use
`4242424242424242` as a test card number with any CVC + future expiration date.
Use the `4000002500003155` test card number to trigger a 3D Secure challenge
flow.
Read more about test cards on Stripe at https://stripe.com/docs/testing.
## Run the sample locally
_This sample can be installed two ways -- Stripe CLI or git clone. The `.env`
configuration will vary depending on which way you install._
### Requirements
- **A Stripe account**: You can sign up for a Stripe account here: https://dashboard.stripe.com/register
- **Stripe API Keys**: Available in your Stripe dashboard here: https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/apikeys
- **2 Prices**: This sample demonstrates two tiers of pricing. You'll need two Price objects on your Stripe account with `lookup_key` set to `sample_basic` and `sample_premium`. See [How to create Prices](#how-to-create-prices) below for more information.
### Installing the sample
The Stripe CLI is the fastest way to clone and configure a sample to run
locally and is the recommended approach as it will only download the code
required for the server language you select. Alternatively, you can download
and run directly with this repository.
#### Option 1: Installing with Stripe CLI
1. If you haven't already installed the CLI, follow the [installation
steps](https://stripe.com/docs/stripe-cli#install). The CLI is useful for
cloning samples and locally testing webhooks and Stripe integrations.
2. Ensure the CLI is linked to your Stripe account by running:
```sh
stripe login
```
3. Start the sample installer and follow the prompts with:
```sh
stripe samples create subscription-use-cases
```
The CLI will walk you through picking your integration type, server and client
languages, and partially configuring your `.env` file with your Stripe API keys.
4. Move into the server directory:
```sh
cd subscription-use-cases/server
```
5. Open `server/.env`. The `STATIC_DIR` value
should be `../client` when installed using the Stripe CLI.
```yml
# Stripe keys
STRIPE_PUBLISHABLE_KEY=pk_12345
STRIPE_SECRET_KEY=sk_12345
STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRET=whsec_1234
# Stripe key for React front end
VITE_STRIPE_PUBLISHABLE_KEY=pk_12345
# Environment variables
STATIC_DIR=../client
```
6. Follow the instructions in `server/README.md` for how to build and/or run the server.
7. View in the browser: [localhost:4242](http://localhost:4242) and test with `4242424242424242`.
8. [Optional] Forward webhook events
You can use the Stripe CLI to forward webhook events to your server running
locally.
```
stripe listen --forward-to localhost:4242/webhook
```
You should see events logged in the console where the CLI is running.
When you are ready to create a live webhook endpoint, follow our guide in the
docs on [configuring a webhook endpoint in the
dashboard](https://stripe.com/docs/webhooks/setup#configure-webhook-settings).
#### Option 2: Installing manually
If you do not want to use the Stripe CLI, you can manually clone and configure the sample:
1. Clone the repository
```sh
git clone [email protected]:stripe-samples/subscription-use-cases.git
cd subscription-use-cases
```
2. Configure `.env`
The `.env` file contains the API keys and some settings to enable the sample to
run with data for your Stripe account.
Copy the `.env.example` file from the root of the project into a file named
`.env` in the folder of the server language you want to use. For example with node:
```sh
cp .env.example fixed-price-subscriptions/server/node/.env
cd fixed-price-subscriptions/server/node
```
For example with ruby:
```sh
cp .env.example fixed-price-subscriptions/server/ruby/.env
cd fixed-price-subscriptions/server/ruby
```
3. Edit the copied `.env` and populate all of the variables. For more information see: [`.env` config](#env-config)
```yml
# Stripe keys
STRIPE_PUBLISHABLE_KEY=pk_12345
STRIPE_SECRET_KEY=sk_12345
STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRET=whsec_1234
# Stripe key for React front end
VITE_STRIPE_PUBLISHABLE_KEY=pk_12345
# Billing variables
BASIC=price_12345...
PREMIUM=price_7890...
# Environment variables
STATIC_DIR=../../client/vanillajs
```
4. Follow the server instructions on how to run:
Pick the server language you want and follow the instructions in the server folder README on how to run.
```
cd fixed-price-subscriptions/server/node # there's a README in this folder with instructions
npm install
npm start
```
5. [Optional] Forward webhook events
You can use the Stripe CLI to forward webhook events to your server running
locally.
If you haven't already, [install the CLI](https://stripe.com/docs/stripe-cli)
and [link your Stripe
account](https://stripe.com/docs/stripe-cli#link-account).
```
stripe listen --forward-to localhost:4242/webhook
```
You should see events logged in the console where the CLI is running.
When you are ready to create a live webhook endpoint, follow our guide in the
docs on [configuring a webhook endpoint in the
dashboard](https://stripe.com/docs/webhooks/setup#configure-webhook-settings).
## How to create Prices
### With Stripe CLI Fixtures
Use the `seed.json` fixture file:
```sh
stripe fixtures seed.json
```
### With Stripe CLI API calls
Or run the following commands and copy the resulting IDs.
```sh
stripe prices create --unit-amount 500 --currency usd -d "recurring[interval]=month" -d "product_data[name]=basic" --lookup-key sample_basic
```
```sh
stripe prices create --unit-amount 900 --currency usd -d "recurring[interval]=month" -d "product_data[name]=premium" --lookup-key sample_premium
```
### With cURL
Replace `sk_test_xxx` with your secret API key:
```sh
curl https://api.stripe.com/v1/prices \
-u sk_test_xxx: \
-d "unit_amount"=500 \
-d "currency"=usd \
-d "recurring[interval]"=month \
-d "product_data[name]"=basic \
-d "lookup_key"=sample_basic \
```
```sh
curl https://api.stripe.com/v1/prices \
-u sk_test_xxx: \
-d "unit_amount"=900 \
-d "currency"=usd \
-d "recurring[interval]"=month \
-d "product_data[name]"=premium \
-d "lookup_key"=sample_premium \
```
## `.env` config
Example configuration file [`.env.example`](./.env.example)
- **STRIPE_PUBLISHABLE_KEY**: Found in the dashboard here: https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/apikeys
- **STRIPE_SECRET_KEY**: Found in the dashboard here: https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/apikeys
- **STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRET**: If using the Stripe CLI (recommended) run `stripe listen --print-secret`, otherwise you can find the signing secret for the webhook endpoint in the dashboard by viewing the details of the endpoint here: https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/webhooks.
- **STATIC_DIR**: The path to the directory containing the client side code. For vanillajs on the client, this will be `../../client/vanillajs`.
## FAQ
Q: Why did you pick these frameworks?
A: We chose the most minimal framework to convey the key Stripe calls and
concepts you need to understand. These demos are meant as an educational tool
that helps you roadmap how to integrate Stripe within your own system
independent of the framework.
