Core Rules

1. Test mode first — Use sk_test_* keys. Test card: 4242424242424242
2. Amounts in cents — $10.00 = 1000
3. Idempotency keys — Prevent duplicate charges
4. Webhooks required — Never trust API response alone
5. Expand objects — Use ?expand[]=customer for related data
6. Pagination — Use starting_after for large lists
7. Error handling — See payments.md for error codes

Authentication

Required environment variables:

• STRIPE_SECRET_KEY — API key for all Stripe operations (starts with sk_test_ or sk_live_)
• STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRET — Signing secret for webhook verification (starts with whsec_)

curl https://api.stripe.com/v1/customers -u "$STRIPE_SECRET_KEY:"

Common Traps

• Amount in dollars not cents → 100x wrong charge
• No idempotency key → duplicate charges
• Skip webhook verification → accept fake events
• Ignore requires_action → 3DS stuck

External Endpoints

Endpoint	Purpose
https://api.stripe.com/v1/*	API

Security & Privacy

Environment variables used:

• STRIPE_SECRET_KEY — for API authentication
• STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRET — for webhook signature verification

Sent to Stripe: Customer info, payment data via api.stripe.com Stays local: API keys (never logged), ~/stripe-api-integration/ preferences Never: Log card numbers, skip webhook verification, expose keys

Trust
