Follow these steps to connect this frontend to your live or test Stripe account.
1. Get your Stripe Publishable Key
Log into your Stripe Dashboard, navigate to Developers > API Keys, and copy your pk_test_... key.
2. Include Stripe JS in Head
<script src="https://js.stripe.com/v3/"></script>
3. Minimal Backend Endpoint (Node.js / Express Example)
// server.js
const stripe = require('stripe')('sk_test_YOUR_SECRET_KEY');
app.post('/create-payment-intent', async (req, res) => {
const { amount } = req.body; // Custom amount from frontend
const paymentIntent = await stripe.paymentIntents.create({
amount: Math.round(amount * 100), // convert USD to cents
currency: 'usd',
});
res.send({ clientSecret: paymentIntent.client_secret });
});
