Accepting payments with the Stripe API

This guide will show you how to easily get started with using Stripe with Jexactyl in order to process credit purchases.

Obtain Client Secret and Webhook Secret​

In order to process payments via Stripe, you'll need to firstly create an account and generate an API key as well as a webhook secret.

?> Register an account with Stripe at https://stripe.com to get started.

1. Log into the Stripe Dashboard​

Once logged in and set up, you should be at a page which looks like this:

3. Create Webhook​

After creating the API key, you'll need to create a webhook which will allow Stripe events to be processed via Jexactyl. Head to 'Webhooks' on the sidebar and generate a new webhook.

Next, you'll need to place these keys in your .env file in order to allow Jexactyl to login.

cd /var/www/jexactyl
nano .env

# Fill in the fields STRIPE_CLIENT_SECRET and STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRET

6. Enable the Stripe gateway in settings​

Head over to the Jexactyl Storefront and click the 'Balance' tab. Once you're there, attempt to buy x credits with Stripe. If the page redirects to a Stripe purchase portal, congrats! You've successfully set up and configured Stripe.
