<head>
<title>Stripe Payment in Laravel</title>
</head>
<body>
<formaction=”{{ route(‘stripe.payment’) }}”method=”POST”>
@csrf
<script
src=”https://checkout.stripe.com/checkout.js”class=”stripe-button”
data-key=”{{ env(‘STRIPE_KEY’) }}”
data-amount=”1000″
data-name=”Test Payment”
data-description=”Test Stripe Payment”
data-currency=”usd”>
</script>
</form>
</body>
</html>
Step 4: Create Routes
In routes/web.php:
use App\Http\Controllers\StripeController;
Route::get(‘/checkout’, [StripeController::class, ‘checkout’])->name(‘checkout’);
Route::post(‘/stripe/payment’, [StripeController::class, ‘payment’])->name(‘stripe.payment’);
Step 5: Create StripeController

php artisan make:controller StripeControllerThen, define the method:
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Stripe\Stripe;
use Stripe\Charge;
classStripeControllerextends Controller
{
publicfunctioncheckout()
{
returnview(‘checkout’);
}

Stripe::setApiKey(config(‘services.stripe.secret’));
Charge::create([
‘amount’ => 1000, // amount in cents
‘currency’ => ‘usd’,
‘source’ => $request->stripeToken,
‘description’ => ‘Stripe Payment Laravel 2025’,
]);
returnredirect()->route(‘checkout’)->with(‘success’, ‘Payment Successful!’);
}
}
Step 6: Display Success Message
Modify checkout.blade.php to show a success message:
@if(session(‘success’)) <p style=”color: green;”>{{ session(‘success’) }}</p> @endif
Testing the Integration
Use Stripe’s test card to test:
- Card Number:
4242 4242 4242 4242 - Expiry: Any future date

Stripe provides various test card numbers for different scenarios like failed payments, 3D Secure, etc.
