Stripe API/Secret Key Error

Wappler General How To
,
#1

I followed the tutorial here, Stripe Custom Checkout Forms to create a Stripe checkout form.

I am receiving the following error:

“error”: "You did not provide an API key. You need to provide your API key in the Authorization header, using Bearer auth (e.g. ‘Authorization: Bearer YOUR_SECRET_KEY’). See https://stripe.com/docs/api#authentication for details, or we can help at https://support.stripe.com/."

I am using Nodejs locally. I have not uploaded the project anywhere as of yet.

Here is the screenshot of my App Structure.

Thank you in advance for your assistance. :wink:

The client _secret set value on the server side gets its value from the payment intent action. It looks like you modified it with a static value.

@mebeingken, did I mis-read this topic, Stripe confirm intent does not include secret ?

Are we supposed to change createSetupIntent.client_secret with our secret key? If not, where does the Secret Key get entered?

The Stripe Payment Intent does not have a field for the Secret Key, only the API Key, which according to the tutorial, is not used.

I just tested and this still works fine.

The Create Payment Intent has a client_secret value which is returned to the client via the set value client_secret action. It is returning a secret value that is for this purchase intent only; it is not your secret key from the stripe portal.

The stripe secret key from the portal goes in the server connect settings, on the Stripe tab.

#5

Ok, I put {{createPaymentIntent.client_secret)) back in the Set Value client_secret field.

I added the Stripe Secret Key into the Server Connect Settings under Stripe.

Saved, server reloaded, entered the information to process the charge and it looks like it went through ! :slight_smile:

Thanks @mebeingken for saving me from myself!
