How to integrate stripe to Django

Step 1: Install the required packages

Ensure that you have the necessary packages installed. You can use pip to install them:

pip install stripe
pip install djstripe

Step 2: Configure Django settings

Open your Django project's settings file (settings.py) and add the following configurations:

# urls.py

from your_app.webhooks import stripe_webhook

urlpatterns = [
    # Other URL patterns...
    path('stripe/webhook/', stripe_webhook),
]

Make sure to replace 'your-stripe-secret-key' with your actual Stripe secret key and 'your-stripe-webhook-secret' with your webhook secret.

Step 3: Run migrations

After configuring the settings, run the migrations to create the necessary database tables for djstripe:

python manage.py migrate djstripe

Step 4: Collect static files

If you haven't already, collect the static files for djstripe:

python manage.py collectstatic

Step 5: Create a Stripe webhook endpoint

To handle Stripe webhooks, you need to create an endpoint in your Django app. Create a new file called webhooks.py (or any other name you prefer) inside your app directory and add the following code:

# webhooks.py

from django.http import HttpResponse
from django.views.decorators.csrf import csrf_exempt
import stripe

stripe.api_key = 'your-stripe-secret-key'

@csrf_exempt
def stripe_webhook(request):
    payload = request.body
    sig_header = request.headers['Stripe-Signature']
    event = None

    try:
        event = stripe.Webhook.construct_event(
            payload, sig_header, DJSTRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRET
        )
    except ValueError as e:
        return HttpResponse(status=400)
    except stripe.error.SignatureVerificationError as e:
        return HttpResponse(status=400)

    # Handle the event
    # Add your code here to process the event based on its type

    return HttpResponse(status=200)

Make sure to replace 'your-stripe-secret-key' with your actual Stripe secret key.

Step 6: Configure the Stripe webhook endpoint URL

Add the following URL pattern to your project's urls.py file to map the webhook endpoint:

# urls.py

from your_app.webhooks import stripe_webhook

urlpatterns = [
    # Other URL patterns...
    path('stripe/webhook/', stripe_webhook),
]

Step 7: Use Stripe in your views

Now you can use Stripe in your Django views. Here's an example of creating a payment intent:

from django.conf import settings
import stripe

stripe.api_key = settings.DJSTRIPE_SECRET_KEY

def create_payment_intent(request):
    intent = stripe.PaymentIntent.create(
        amount=1000,  # amount in cents
        currency='usd',
        payment_method_types=['card'],
    )

    # Add your code to handle the payment intent response

    return render(request, 'payment.html', {'client_secret': intent.client_secret})

Make sure to replace settings.DJSTRIPE_SECRET_KEY with your actual Stripe secret key.

That's it! You've now integrated Stripe with Django using the djstripe package. You can explore the djstripe documentation for more advanced features and functionalities.
