How to make payment with Stripe using nodejs

Stripe is a popular payment gateway that allows businesses to accept payments from customers worldwide. It provides a comprehensive suite of APIs that allow developers to integrate Stripe’s payment processing functionality into their applications. In this tutorial, we will look at how to make a payment with Stripe using Node.js.

Before we begin, we assume that you have already set up a Stripe account and have obtained your API keys. If you haven’t, you can sign up for a Stripe account at stripe.com.

Step 1: Install the Stripe Node.js library

The first step is to install the Stripe Node.js library. You can do this by running the following command in your terminal:

npm install stripe --save

This will install the Stripe library and add it to your package.json file.

Step 2: Set up your Stripe account

To use the Stripe API, you need to provide your API keys. There are two types of API keys: publishable keys and secret keys. Publishable keys are used to identify your account when making requests to the Stripe API. Secret keys are used to access sensitive data and perform actions on behalf of your account, such as creating charges or refunds.
