This sample shows how to build a card form to take a payment using the Payment Intents API, Stripe Elements and React.
See a hosted version of the demo in test mode or fork on codesandbox.io
This sample consists of a client
in React and a server
piece available in 5 common languages.
The client is implemented using create-react-app
to provide the boilerplate for React. Stripe Elements is integrated using react-stripe-elements
, which is the official React library provided by Stripe.
The server includes 5 server implementations in Node, Ruby, Python, Java, and PHP in the /server directory. We included several RESTful server implementations, each with the same endpoints and logic.
To run this sample locally you need to start both a local dev server for the front-end
and another server for the back-end
.
You will need a Stripe account with its own set of API keys.
Follow the steps below to run locally.
1. Clone and configure the sample
The Stripe CLI is the fastest way to clone and configure a sample to run locally.
Using the Stripe CLI
If you haven't already installed the CLI, follow the installation steps in the project README. The CLI is useful for cloning samples and locally testing webhooks and Stripe integrations.
In your terminal shell, run the Stripe CLI command to clone the sample:
stripe samples create react-elements-card-payment
The CLI will walk you through picking your integration type, server and client languages, and configuring your .env config file with your Stripe API keys.
Installing and cloning manually
If you do not want to use the Stripe CLI, you can manually clone and configure the sample yourself:
git clone https://github.com/stripe-samples/react-elements-card-payment
Copy the .env.example file into a file named .env in the folder of the server you want to use. For example:
cp .env.example server/node/.env
You will need a Stripe account in order to run the demo. Once you set up your account, go to the Stripe developer dashboard to find your API keys.
STRIPE_PUBLISHABLE_KEY=<replace-with-your-publishable-key>
STRIPE_SECRET_KEY=<replace-with-your-secret-key>
STATIC_DIR
tells the server where to the client files are located and does not need to be modified unless you move the server files.
- Go to
/server
- Pick the language you are most comfortable in and follow the instructions in the directory on how to run.
- Go to
/client
- Run
yarn
- Run
yarn start
and your default browser should now open with the front-end being served fromhttp://localhost:3000/
.
When running both servers, you are now ready to use the app running in http://localhost:3000.
- Enter your name and card details
- Hit "Pay"

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.
Q: Can you show me how to build X?
A: We are always looking for new recipe ideas, please email dev-samples@stripe.com with your suggestion!
