stripe-payments Getting started with stripe-payments Hello World in Python
Example
An example how to run stripe out of the box with wsgi from a single file.
At first, please install the python stripe API, i.e. with pip:
pip install --user stripe
Create payment.py which creates a WSGI webserver at port 8000 out of the box
html = """
<html>
<body>
<p>%(output)s</p>
</body>
</html>
"""
form = """
<form action="" method="POST">
<script

data-key="pk_test_6pRNASCoBOKtIshFeQd4XMUh"

request_body = environ['wsgi.input'].read(request_body_size)

return [response_body]
from wsgiref.simple_server import make_server
from cgi import parse_qs, escape
httpd = make_server('', 8000, application)
httpd.serve_forever()
Please note:
- the frontend form contains the public key
- the backend charge part contains the secret key.
Run the script
python payment.py
Navigate with your browser to
http://localhost:8000/
After clicking the Pay-Button and entering the credit card number (4242424242424242) the form is posted with the token. So the payment could be processed and finally the charge object will be printed into the browser, which contains:
...
"paid": true,
"description": "Hello World",
"status": "succeeded"
