Quick Admin Panel Blog: Stripe Payments in Laravel: The Ultimate Guide

On the Quick Admin Panel blog there's a tutorial posted showing you how to accept Stripe payments in your Laravel application using their "Stripe Checkout" functionality. This feature allows the Stripe platform to be the only one that handles the payment data and doesn't require you to store any information in your application.

Stripe is one of the most popular payment merchants for web, but information about Laravel integration is pretty fragmented, so I decided to write a really long tutorial about this topic.

We will cover: general logic how Stripe works, simple one-time payment integration, testing and production environment setup. [We will also cover] saving transaction data for future reference, recurring payments with Laravel Cashier [and] getting invoices data and PDF download.

The tutorial then gets into the use of the Stripe Checkout functionality on your site (after setting up an account) and the flow of the checkout and transaction. Then comes the Laravel portion of the tutorial. They show you how to set up a new application and create the view containing the required Stripe form. They show you where it integrate the keys specific to your application and how to test the implementation. Next they show how to handle the response back from Stripe that contains a token that can be used to identify the payment method in the future. This is used to charge the card via the Stripe SDK tools.

The tutorial finishes looking at Laravel Cashier to handle recurring billing and subscription plans. It shows you how to integrate this with your application and how to use it for payments and invoices.
