Events Storefront sample integration using Stripe Checkout

What's in the box

This sample is split into a few projects

• StripeEventsCheckout.ApiServer - ASP.NET Core HTTP API backend that hosts endpoints for managing the checkout session and wehbooks
• StripeEventsCheckout.BlazorUI/ - Frontend UI built with Blazor and Tailwind CSS.
• StripeEventsCheckout.Tools - .NET CLI tool for seeding Stripe product data. (Unneeded. Kept just for reference)

Requirements

• .NET SDK 6.0+
• Stripe Account
• Stripe CLI

Running the demo

Step 1: Obtain your Stripe Keys 🕵🏽‍♂️

Before running the code, you'll need to retrieve your Stripe Secret Key from your account dashboard.

• Log in to your Stripe Dashboard
• Make sure you're in test mode. The toggle is located at the top right corner of the page.
• Click on the Developers button, then select API Keys in the left menu
• Under Standard Keys, reveal and copy your Secret key.

You can learn more about API Keys and Modes at this link => https://stripe.com/docs/keys

• Update the appsettings.json file located in the root directory of StripeEventsCheckout.ApiServer with your Stripe Publishable Key and Secret Key

"Stripe": {
    "PublishableKey": "",
    "SecretKey": "",
    "WebhookSecrety": ""
  },

Step 2: Obtain your Stripe Webhook Key 🕵🏽‍♂️

Use the stripe listen command with the --forward-to flag to stream stripe events from your account in test mode to your local webhook endpoint.

stripe listen --forward-to localhost:5276/webhook

This command will return the webhook secret that you'll add to the WebhookSecret configuration key in your appsettings.json file.

Step 3: Seeding data into the Stripe Dashboard

The appsettings.json file has a configuration property called SeedProductData. Set it to true to initiate seeding product and pricing data.

Step 4: Run the code 👨🏽‍💻

Navigate into the src/ directory

cd  src/

Run the project

> dotnet build
> dotnet run --project StripeEventsCheckout.ApiServer

By default, the application should start running on http://localhost:5276

[Optional] Run the application in Docker 👨🏽‍💻

The repo contains Dockerfiles and docker-compose files to quickly spin up the project running in containers on your local Docker instance.

To run the containers locally, you'll need to have Docker installed on your machine.

File Listing

• Dockerfile.ApiServer - The Dockerfile definition to build the Blazor frontend and API Backend.
• docker-compose-app.yml - Docker compose file to spin up the application.
• docker-compose-infra.yml - Docker compose file to spin up some additional services.
