Note : This is originally stripe Node.js Library, it has been modified to communicate with to payglo
's servers. Stripe node library's documentation is applicable for this library also, just make sure you import the library as '@payglo/payglo-node' instead of 'stripe' and use api key provided by payglo
.
Installation
Install the package with:
npm install @payglo/payglo-node --save
yarn add @payglo/payglo-node
Stripe Node.js Library
The Stripe Node library provides convenient access to the Stripe API from
applications written in server-side JavaScript.
For collecting customer and payment information in the browser, use Stripe.js.
Support
New features and bug fixes are released on the latest major version of the stripe
package. If you are on an older major version, we recommend that you upgrade to the latest in order to use the new features and bug fixes including those for security vulnerabilities. Older major versions of the package will continue to be available for use, but will not be receiving any updates.
Documentation
See the stripe-node
API docs for Node.js.
See video demonstrations covering how to use the library.
Requirements
Node 8, 10 or higher.
Beta version
Stripe has features in the beta phase that can be accessed via the beta version of this package.
We would love for you to try these and share feedback with us before these features reach the stable phase.
The beta versions can be installed in one of two ways
- To install the latest beta version, run the command
npm install stripe@beta --save
- To install a specific beta version, replace the term "beta" in the above command with the version number like
npm install stripe@1.2.3-beta.1 --save
Note: There can be breaking changes between beta versions. Therefore we recommend pinning the package version to a specific beta version in your package.json file. This way you can install the same version each time without breaking changes unless you are intentionally looking for the latest beta version.
We highly recommend keeping an eye on when the beta feature you are interested in goes from beta to stable so that you can move from using a beta version of the SDK to the stable version.
The versions tab on the stripe page on npm lists the current tags in use. The beta
tag here corresponds to the the latest beta version of the package.
Usage
The package needs to be configured with your account's secret key, which is
available in the Stripe Dashboard. Require it with the key's
value:
const stripe = require('@payglo/payglo-node')('<payglo_api_key>');
stripe.customers.create({
email: 'customer@example.com',
})
.then(customer => console.log(customer.id))
.catch(error => console.error(error));
Or using ES modules and async
/await
:
import Stripe from '@payglo/payglo-node';
const stripe = new Stripe('<payglo_api_key>');
(async () => {
const customer = await stripe.customers.create({
email: 'customer@example.com',
});
console.log(customer.id);
})();
Usage with TypeScript
As of 8.0.1, Stripe maintains types for the latest API version.
Import Stripe as a default import (not * as Stripe
, unlike the DefinitelyTyped version)
and instantiate it as new Stripe()
with the latest API version.
import Stripe from '@payglo/ocra-node';
const stripe = new Stripe('<payglo_api_key>', {
apiVersion: '2022-08-01',
});
const createCustomer = async () => {
const params: Stripe.CustomerCreateParams = {
description: 'test customer',
};
const customer: Stripe.Customer = await stripe.customers.create(params);
console.log(customer.id);
};
createCustomer();
You can find a full TS server example in stripe-samples.
Using old API versions with TypeScript
Types can change between API versions (e.g., Stripe may have changed a field from a string to a hash),
so our types only reflect the latest API version.
We therefore encourage upgrading your API version
if you would like to take advantage of Stripe's TypeScript definitions.
If you are on an older API version (e.g., 2019-10-17
) and not able to upgrade,
you may pass another version or apiVersion: null
to use your account's default API version,
and use a comment like // @ts-ignore stripe-version-2019-10-17
to silence type errors here
and anywhere the types differ between your API version and the latest.
When you upgrade, you should remove these comments.
We also recommend using // @ts-ignore
if you have access to a beta feature and need to send parameters beyond the type definitions.
Using expand
with TypeScript
Expandable fields are typed as string | Foo
,
so you must cast them appropriately, e.g.,
const paymentIntent: Stripe.PaymentIntent = await stripe.paymentIntents.retrieve(
'pi_123456789',
{
expand: ['customer'],
}
);
const customerEmail: string = (paymentIntent.customer as Stripe.Customer).email;
Using Promises
Every method returns a chainable promise which can be used instead of a regular
callback:
stripe.customers
.create({
email: 'customer@example.com',
})
.then((customer) => {
return stripe.invoiceItems
.create({
customer: customer.id,
amount: 2500,
currency: 'usd',
description: 'One-time setup fee',
})
.then((invoiceItem) => {
return stripe.invoices.create({
collection_method: 'send_invoice',
customer: invoiceItem.customer,
});
})
.then((invoice) => {
})
.catch((err) => {
});
});
Configuration
Initialize with config object
The package can be initialized with several options:
import ProxyAgent from 'https-proxy-agent';
const stripe = Stripe('<payglo_api_key>', {
apiVersion: '2019-08-08',
maxNetworkRetries: 1,
httpAgent: new ProxyAgent(process.env.http_proxy),
timeout: 1000,
host: 'api.example.com',
port: 123,
telemetry: true,
});
Option | Default | Description |
---|
apiVersion | null | Stripe API version to be used. If not set the account's default version will be used. |
maxNetworkRetries | 0 | The amount of times a request should be retried. |
httpAgent | null | Proxy agent to be used by the library. |
timeout | 80000 | Maximum time each request can take in ms. |
host | 'sandbox-router.juspay.io' | Host that requests are made to. |
port | 443 | Port that requests are made to. |
protocol | 'https' | 'https' or 'http' . http is never appropriate for sending requests to Stripe servers, and we strongly discourage http , even in local testing scenarios, as this can result in your credentials being transmitted over an insecure channel. |
telemetry | true | Allow Stripe to send latency telemetry. |
Note: Both maxNetworkRetries
and timeout
can be overridden on a per-request basis.
Configuring Timeout
Timeout can be set globally via the config object:
const stripe = Stripe('<payglo_api_key>', {
timeout: 20 * 1000,
});
And overridden on a per-request basis:
stripe.customers.create(
{
email: 'customer@example.com',
},
{
timeout: 1000,
}
);
Configuring For Connect
A per-request Stripe-Account
header for use with Stripe Connect
can be added to any method:
stripe.balanceTransactions.list(
{
limit: 10,
},
{
stripeAccount: 'acct_foo',
}
);
Configuring a Proxy
To use stripe behind a proxy you can pass an https-proxy-agent on initialization:
if (process.env.http_proxy) {
const ProxyAgent = require('https-proxy-agent');
const stripe = Stripe('<payglo_api_key>', {
httpProxy: new ProxyAgent(process.env.http_proxy),
});
}
Network retries
Automatic network retries can be enabled with the maxNetworkRetries
config option.
This will retry requests n
times with exponential backoff if they fail due to an intermittent network problem.
Idempotency keys are added where appropriate to prevent duplication.
const stripe = Stripe('<payglo_api_key>', {
maxNetworkRetries: 2,
});
Network retries can also be set on a per-request basis:
stripe.customers.create(
{
email: 'customer@example.com',
},
{
maxNetworkRetries: 2,
}
);
Examining Responses
Some information about the response which generated a resource is available
with the lastResponse
property:
customer.lastResponse.requestId;
customer.lastResponse.statusCode;
request
and response
events
The Stripe object emits request
and response
events. You can use them like this:
const stripe = require('stripe')('<payglo_api_key>');
const onRequest = (request) => {
};
stripe.on('request', onRequest);
stripe.off('request', onRequest);
request
object
{
api_version: 'latest',
account: 'acct_TEST',
idempotency_key: 'abc123',
method: 'POST',
path: '/v1/customers',
request_start_time: 1565125303932
}
response
object
{
api_version: 'latest',
account: 'acct_TEST',
idempotency_key: 'abc123',
method: 'POST',
path: '/v1/customers',
status: 402,
request_id: 'req_Ghc9r26ts73DRf',
elapsed: 445,
request_start_time: 1565125303932,
request_end_time: 1565125304377
}
Webhook signing
Stripe can optionally sign the webhook events it sends to your endpoint, allowing you to validate that they were not sent by a third-party. You can read more about it here.
Please note that you must pass the raw request body, exactly as received from Stripe, to the constructEvent()
function; this will not work with a parsed (i.e., JSON) request body.
You can find an example of how to use this with Express in the examples/webhook-signing
folder, but here's what it looks like:
const event = stripe.webhooks.constructEvent(
webhookRawBody,
webhookStripeSignatureHeader,
webhookSecret
);
Testing Webhook signing
You can use stripe.webhooks.generateTestHeaderString
to mock webhook events that come from Stripe:
const payload = {
id: 'evt_test_webhook',
object: 'event',
};
const payloadString = JSON.stringify(payload, null, 2);
const secret = 'whsec_test_secret';
const header = stripe.webhooks.generateTestHeaderString({
payload: payloadString,
secret,
});
const event = stripe.webhooks.constructEvent(payloadString, header, secret);
expect(event.id).to.equal(payload.id);
Writing a Plugin
If you're writing a plugin that uses the library, we'd appreciate it if you instantiated your stripe client with appInfo
, eg;
const stripe = require('stripe')('<payglo_api_key>', {
appInfo: {
name: 'MyAwesomePlugin',
version: '1.2.34',
url: 'https://myawesomeplugin.info',
}
});
Or using ES modules or TypeScript:
const stripe = new Stripe(apiKey, {
appInfo: {
name: 'MyAwesomePlugin',
version: '1.2.34',
url: 'https://myawesomeplugin.info',
}
});
This information is passed along when the library makes calls to the Stripe API.
We provide a few different APIs for this to aid with a variety of node versions and styles.
Async iterators (for-await-of
)
If you are in a Node environment that has support for async iteration,
such as Node 10+ or babel,
the following will auto-paginate:
for await (const customer of stripe.customers.list()) {
doSomething(customer);
if (shouldStop()) {
break;
}
}
autoPagingEach
If you are in a Node environment that has support for await
, such as Node 7.9 and greater,
you may pass an async function to .autoPagingEach
:
await stripe.customers.list().autoPagingEach(async (customer) => {
await doSomething(customer);
if (shouldBreak()) {
return false;
}
});
console.log('Done iterating.');
Equivalently, without await
, you may return a Promise, which can resolve to false
to break:
stripe.customers
.list()
.autoPagingEach((customer) => {
return doSomething(customer).then(() => {
if (shouldBreak()) {
return false;
}
});
})
.then(() => {
console.log('Done iterating.');
})
.catch(handleError);
autoPagingToArray
This is a convenience for cases where you expect the number of items
to be relatively small; accordingly, you must pass a limit
option
to prevent runaway list growth from consuming too much memory.
Returns a promise of an array of all items across pages for a list request.
const allNewCustomers = await stripe.customers
.list({created: {gt: lastMonth}})
.autoPagingToArray({limit: 10000});
Request latency telemetry
By default, the library sends request latency telemetry to Stripe. These
numbers help Stripe improve the overall latency of its API for all users.
You can disable this behavior if you prefer:
const stripe = new Stripe('<payglo_api_key>', {
telemetry: false,
});

Development
Run all tests:
$ yarn install
$ yarn test
If you do not have yarn
installed, you can get it with npm install --global yarn
.
The tests also depends on stripe-mock, so make sure to fetch and
run it from a background terminal (stripe-mock's README
also contains instructions for installing via Homebrew and other methods):
go get -u github.com/stripe/stripe-mock
stripe-mock
Run a single test suite without a coverage report:
$ yarn mocha-only test/Error.spec.js
Run a single test (case sensitive) in watch mode:
$ yarn mocha-only test/Error.spec.js --grep 'Populates with type' --watch
If you wish, you may run tests using your Stripe Test API key by setting the
environment variable STRIPE_TEST_API_KEY
before running the tests:
$ export STRIPE_TEST_API_KEY='<payglo_api_key>'
$ yarn test
Run prettier:
Add an editor integration or:
$ yarn fix
