Let’s get started – Stripe payment gateway in CodeIgniter 4


CodeIgniter 4 Installation

To create a CodeIgniter 4 setup run this given command into your shell or terminal. Please make sure composer should be installed.

composer create-project codeigniter4/appstarter codeigniter-4

Assuming you have successfully installed application into your local system.


Environment (.env) Setup

When we install CodeIgniter 4, we will have env file at root. To use the environment variables means using variables at global scope we need to do env to .env

Either we can do via renaming file as simple as that. Also we can do by terminal command.

Open project in terminal

cp env .env

Above command will create a copy of env file to .env file. Now we are ready to use environment variables.

Enable Development Mode

CodeIgniter starts up in production mode by default. You need to make it in development mode to see any error if you are working with application.

Open .env file from root.

# CI_ENVIRONMENT = production

 // Do it to 
 
CI_ENVIRONMENT = development

Now application is in development mode.


Stripe PHP Package Installation

We will install stripe package via composer into CodeIgniter 4 setup. Open CodeIgniter 4 project in terminal and hit this composer command.

$ composer require stripe/stripe-php

Autoload Stripe Library

Open Autoload.php from /app/Config. Find $psr4 and add stripe library.

//...

public $psr4 = [
		APP_NAMESPACE => APPPATH, // For custom app namespace
		'Config'      => APPPATH . 'Config',
		'Stripe' => ROOTPATH . 'vendor/stripe/stripe-php/init.php' // added here
];

//...

Set Stripe API Key and SECRET

Open up Constants.php from /app/Config folder of CodeIgniter 4 application.

Into the file, set stripe api key and secret.

//...

defined("STRIPE_KEY") || define('STRIPE_KEY', "pk_test_MaQhP2b8XqG9R7PTL6VUmipt");
defined("STRIPE_SECRET") || define('STRIPE_SECRET', "sk_test_MtVxg0tJfCGJXQY8xZlu69Ie");

//...

This is our stripe sandbox detail, you can replace it with your own. If you are wondering to find stripe test account keys. Follow these steps –

  • You need to enable Viewing test data to use Test account details
  • Go to Developer >> Click on API keys

Create Routes

Open Routes.php from /app/Config folder. Add these routes into it.

//...

$routes->get("stripe", "StripeController::stripe");
$routes->post("payment", "StripeController::payment");

//...

Create Controller File

Next, we need to create a controller file.

$ php spark make:controller Stripe --suffix

It will create a controller file StripeController.php inside /app/Controllers folder

Open StripeController.php and write this given code.

<?php

namespace App\Controllers;
use App\Controllers\BaseController;
use Stripe;

class StripeController extends BaseController
{
    /**
     * Get All Data from this method.
     *
     * @return Response
     */
    public function __construct()
    {
        helper(["url"]);
    }

    /**
     * Get All Data from this method.
     *
     * @return Response
     */
    public function stripe()
    {
        return view("stripe");
    }

    /**
     * Get All Data from this method.
     *
     * @return Response
     */
    public function payment(){

        Stripe\Stripe::setApiKey(STRIPE_SECRET);
      
        $stripe = Stripe\Charge::create ([
                "amount" => 70 * 100,
                "currency" => "usd",
                "source" => $_REQUEST["stripeToken"],
                "description" => "Test payment via Stripe From onlinewebtutorblog.com" 
        ]);

        // after successfull payment, you can store payment related information into 
        // your database

        //$data = array('success' => true, 'data' => $stripe);
        //echo json_encode($data);
        
        session()->setFlashdata("message", "Payment done successfully");

        return redirect('stripe');
    }
}

Create Template File

Let’s create template file for setting the layout of payment details for user.

Create a file stripe.php inside /app/Views folder. Open file and paste the given code.

This code will will create a UI for payment inputs and added javascript code will help to process the stripe payment.
