Api keys

Navigate to the Developers tab link and select API keys in the left sidebar. Here you can find two keys - public and secret. Public key is required by the client-side stripe library (for example - a payment form to purchase a product or add a card for later use). (Ship uses client-side stripe library to display add card form) Secret key is used to interract with stripe using application’s server. Copy them and store in web’s (public key) configs and server’s configs (secret key) Stripe create product form

Webhooks

Webhooks allow stripe to communicate with your server by sending plain POST requests on every event, that happens on stripe. During adding a new webhook you can select which events should be sent to the server. Start creating a new webhook by clicking on the + Add endpoint button. Type URL of the endpoint, responsible for listening for the stripe events (Default ship URL is HTTPS://<server_url>/webhook/stripe). Add events that you want to listen to. Ship listens for the following events -
  • setup_intent.succeeded Triggers when a customer adds a new card using stripe form on the web application.
  • customer.subscription.create Triggers when a customer’s subscription created
  • payment_method.attached Triggers when a customer adds a new card during the payment process on stripe checkout page
  • customer.subscription.updated Triggers when a customer’s subscription changes
  • customer.subscription.deleted Triggers when a customer’s subscription is deleted.
