Stripe Payment Integration Setup

This document provides instructions on how to set up the Stripe payment integration for the Susap AI Mock Interview platform.

Prerequisites

  • A Stripe account (you can sign up at stripe.com)
  • Node.js and npm installed
  • Access to your project's environment variables

Setup Steps

1. Create a Stripe Account

If you don't already have a Stripe account, create one at stripe.com.

2. Get Your API Keys

  1. Log in to your Stripe Dashboard
  2. Go to Developers > API keys
  3. Copy your Publishable key and Secret key
  4. Add them to your .env.local file: 
    NEXT_PUBLIC_STRIPE_PUBLISHABLE_KEY=pk_test_your_publishable_key
STRIPE_SECRET_KEY=sk_test_your_secret_key

3. Create Products and Prices

  1. Go to Products in your Stripe Dashboard
  2. Create two products:
    • Better Agent (₹399/month)
    • Advance Agent (₹699/month)
  3. For each product, create a recurring price with the appropriate amount
  4. Copy the Price IDs and add them to your .env.local file: 
    NEXT_PUBLIC_STRIPE_BETTER_AGENT_PRICE_ID=price_your_better_agent_price_id
NEXT_PUBLIC_STRIPE_ADVANCE_AGENT_PRICE_ID=price_your_advance_agent_price_id

4. Set Up Webhooks

  1. Go to Developers > Webhooks in your Stripe Dashboard
  2. Click "Add endpoint"
  3. Enter your webhook URL: https://your-domain.com/api/webhooks/stripe
  4. Select the following events to listen for:
    • checkout.session.completed
    • customer.subscription.updated
    • customer.subscription.deleted
  5. Click "Add endpoint"
  6. Copy the Webhook Signing Secret and add it to your .env.local file: 
    STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRET=whsec_your_webhook_secret

5. Local Development

For local development, you can use the Stripe CLI to forward webhooks to your local environment:

  1. Install the Stripe CLI
  2. Run the following command: 
    stripe listen --forward-to localhost:3000/api/webhooks/stripe
  3. The CLI will provide a webhook signing secret. Use this for local testing.

6. Testing the Integration

  1. Start your development server
  2. Navigate to the pricing page
  3. Click on a subscription plan
  4. You should be redirected to the Stripe Checkout page
  5. Use Stripe's test card numbers for testing:
    • 4242 4242 4242 4242 (successful payment)
    • 4000 0000 0000 9995 (failed payment)

Troubleshooting

  • Checkout not working: Verify your API keys and price IDs
  • Webhooks not receiving events: Check your webhook URL and signing secret
  • Payment processing errors: Check the Stripe Dashboard for error logs
