Quick Start (Node.js)

// Create checkout session
const session = await stripe.checkout.sessions.create({
mode: 'payment',
line_items: [{ price: 'price_xxx', quantity: 1 }],
success_url: 'https://example.com/success',
cancel_url: 'https://example.com/cancel',
});
Quick Start (Python)
import stripe
stripe.api_key = 'sk_test_...'
session = stripe.checkout.Session.create(
mode='payment',
line_items=[{'price': 'price_xxx', 'quantity': 1}],
success_url='https://example.com/success',
cancel_url='https://example.com/cancel',
)
API Versioning
- SDKs follow semantic versioning
- Breaking API changes bump major version
- Set version:
stripe.apiVersion = '2024-12-18.acacia' - Dashboard: Developers → API version
Best Practices
- Keep SDKs updated - Security patches, new features
- Use test keys for development (
sk_test_...) - Set API version explicitly for stability
- Handle errors with try/catch
- Use idempotency keys for POST requests
Error Handling
try {
await stripe.charges.create({...});
} catch (err) {
if (err.type === 'StripeCardError') {
// Card declined
} else if (err.type === 'StripeInvalidRequestError') {
// Invalid parameters
}
}
