Manage Subscriptions with Laravel Cashier And Stripe 💳

[@Tuto1902]

One important detail that I missed is that you need to bypass CSRF verification on your webhook URL. Here's how to do it laravel.com/docs/11.x/cashier-paddle#webhooks-csrf-protection

[@djlinedance]

Yep :)

[@andrew689]

Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!

[@Tuto1902]

Great to hear!

[@adamdrake39]

This video is great. I was like 85% of the way there but you really helped with those specific details. Thanks so much for taking the time to make this. I really appreciate it.

[@JonBrookes]

Wow, you did this all in a live session, respect. Not a minute wasted though and I can see the level of integration Laravel with Cashier has to offer, which is amazing. I've done this in the past with my own back end but glad to have found your video covering Cashier - which makes this all a lot lot easier - thanks again.

[@dzccccc]

Awesome! Subscribed! So happy to see you're almost to your 5k goal, but I know you will get many more subscribers than that. Thank you so much!

[@Tuto1902]

I missed a question from Target X: Why is it important to create a product on Stripe? Because in order to have a checkout page, Stripe needs to know the product you are selling. So, you need your products on Stripe and then, offer those products in your website using the product ids and pricing ids from Stripe.

Sir, how do you deal with 405 on Stripe Webhook Listener?

Really amazing tutorial. Worked like a charm !

[@hari2013]

Nice one..

[@dzccccc]

I think one additional item may be when creating the subscription, not passing 'default' into the first argument causes $user->subscribed() to return false. I couldn't figure out the issue as my subscription was in the DB, but $user->subscribed() returned false, setting the first argument in newSubscription to 'default', cancelling the existing subscriptions, and recreating the subscription then yielded the expected result (true).

[@rishharris8808]

instead of using breeze you can use the full Subscriptions setup with filament

[@SamJenkins-Satal]

Do you have details of this? This sounds really useful!

[@rishharris8808]

@@SamJenkins-Satal that's why I wrote my comment to @Tuto1902 instead of using laravel breeze it's better to use filament for this tutorial.

🎉 You are the best brother So everything work fine for me but when i try to subscribe data subscribe in stripe account but not saved in subscriptions table and in subscription_items table wy !??

[@Tuto1902]

If you are working locally, make sure you are listening for stripe webhooks. (15:31)

[@nicolasbaladocampo4816]

@@Tuto1902 same problem, I've checked everything but it looks like stripe cant communicate with mi database, it doesn't fill the fields of subscriptions and subscription_items table . Thank you for the video!

[@JamesAutoDude]

Thank you so much, I was going crazy. I also need a way for someone to pay an invoice so, I'll try to see if I can figure that out. I think the best way is that they'll add the customer as a user, and then I can somehow use this setup as well... I'll figure it out lol

[@Tuto1902]

You can do it. I believe in you!

[@JamesAutoDude]

@@Tuto1902 looks like I have to use the stripe-php package directly for the invoice payments and make my own invoicing database tables What also sucks is, there's no help on doing it with Livewire :/ I can't find much that actually works. So I'll have to just do it by regular php methods for now lol

[@vineetdavre8772]

Informative👍🏻

[@ThomasschmidtTJS]

Awesome video, clear explanation but as some other people mentioned the database isn't being updated with a subscription relation and I'm also being redirected to the cancel_url after a successful payment. Everything in the Stripe dashboard looks okay. I'm able to use the Stripe CLI locally and listen to calls to the webhook with the final entry being checkout.session.completed. I'm going to debug this further because my dev setup is different than yours, i'm running everything in Docker containers and using the terminal of a docker container in order to listen to the Stripe webhook being called.

[@ThomasschmidtTJS]

Made a little bit of progression, searched through the Stripe events and I'm getting a 'MethodNotAllowedHttpException', saying The POST method is not supported for route /. Supported methods: GET, HEAD... the story continues :D

[@ThomasschmidtTJS]

Solved the most essential part, allowing Stripe to update the database through the webhook. My biggest mistake was not removing remnants of previous tutorials, resulting in obsolete custom webhook urls in my web.php and not registering the local webhook correctly using the cashier:webhook command (with the --url flag). Like the video, you do not need to define any webhook urls in your web.php and you should not have to a custom url when entering the cashier:webhook command. Long story short, awesome video, should have found it sooner 😅 I still have the issue that Stripe returns the cancel_url after a successful payment, but I'm guessing that I'm also to blame for that issue!

[@patelsridix]

On update plan it want change product in database only update priceid

[@Tuto1902]

Sorry, I didn’t understand your comment. I don’t have the product in the database for this example. But it’s possible to get a list of products from stripe. Products should be updated on stripe and synchronized regularly on the client

[@dekkar8491]

Wow! Great video Arturo! Thanks for all! Are you going to make a new one without subscription but with one payment for product, like a store? Thanks!

[@Tuto1902]

No plans for it yet. But it’s a cool idea

[@Tuto1902]

I think I covered billing in this live stream session. I think that's why I never actually posted an actual video about it kzbin.info/www/bejne/jpTEqZiVm92lbLs

[@DevRunDown]

If you are running into the error "Invalid URL: URL must be publicly accessible." after running php artisan cashier:webhook and using Stripe CLI it might be due to simply serving the site with php artisan serve. To fix this I ended up installing Laravel Valet and serving my site with it so it has a .test and that got around the issue.

[@ripon59]

Thanks Mate

[@j.erlandsson]

Great video!

[@konskript123]

Can you make tuts for paddle?

[@Tuto1902]

I'll make a note for it and will try to create one in the near future. Thanks for the suggestion!

[@rhamadnursanisidik]

is stripe free?

[@david0705]

Creating an account is free. Then for each transaction you pay a percentage and 0.25€ if I remember correctly.

[@aftabnaveed]

Thanks Tuto for this wonderfull tutorial, however I am unable to confiure it using laravel sail. Do I need to install the stripe utility inside the php container for that?

[@Tuto1902]

Probably, yes.

[@chokyweb]

Hi, great video! What did you say you use that refreshes the app for you in the background? I hear "Beet" but cannot find it.

[@Tuto1902]

It’s called Vite and it’s the default asset bundler for Laravel

[@NumanMuhammad-hy5pz]

i can pull your code and run in my localhost but it can't insert data into subscriptions and subscriptions_items table why only update stripe id in user table please guide me

[@Tuto1902]

Are you listening for web_hook calls locally using the stripe-cli? (12:29) And also, do you see any errors in the console after performing a sale?

[@djlinedance]

What webhooks are you using for the user->subscriptions->subscription_items? Mine only updates the User model.

[@djlinedance]

I figured it out. I had the route /stripe/webhook active and it did an override on the built in cashier webhooks.

[@targetx1733]

Must appreciation, I think the auth Middleware should not be on the pricing route.

[@neonneon8225]

Hi thanks for such a great video. You are right, everyone has integrated with a simple js script which embeds stripe card element. You are the second person (youtuber) who has chosen this great way for the Stripe integration. So, I have a question to you. When we are working for the organization / company and they want to integrate payment gateway, should we set-up it on behalf of our account or tell them (company) to create account and provide credentials keys?

[@Tuto1902]

I'd say that the company should create their own account (for tax purposes).

[@bassemfouad2470]

[@milenkostadinov8702]

Hey Tuto, I've been detached from your videos for a short while as to focus on the bigger bits and pieces of my own project, however you literally read my mind about STRIPE as I was in a process of implementing STRIPE payments in my platform and I've found many many tutorials that have a small flow - they pass products line by line to Stripe defining images, title and price in a jSON format which was then POST-ed to Stripe. So I've done some testing and it seems not so hard to intercept the communication if you know all the data that needs to pass but with a modified price of 0.01cent etc. So I thought the better way would be to use product/subscription IDs instead and to my nice surprise, you thought already on that and had a live session even. Should buiy you soon a coffee again, please don't hate me for pumping the caffein in your veins, I am just hopping you stay awake and if bored, throw another cool tutorial video (what you do best ;) )

[@mdismailhossain2219]

One off lifetime payment will not work in this method....It is showing error....as it is one off payment but method you are calling is newSubscription....plz check it and follow up the video... and also plz include subscription cancellation, create product, pricing from the laravel app in the next follow up...and great video man :) really helpful...thank yo so much! keep up the good works

[@Tuto1902]

Use the checkout method. The first parameter is the array with the price id you want to purchase and the quantity. In this case, only 1 You can add this code to the CheckoutController, just before the subscription part. // One off payment if ($plan == 'lifetime_price_id') { return $request->user()->checkout([$plan => 1], [ 'success_url' => route('success'), 'cancel_url' => route('dashboard'), ]); }

When I run webhook command, i get: |Invalid URL: URL must be publicly accessible. Consider using a tool like the Stripe CLI to test... I'm on windows.(SOLVED)) Please help, thanks.

I solved it by going in .env and changing APP_URL=your_url_name to APP_URL=stripe.test. Thanks!

when I run stripe listen, it works on local but when terminal closes web hook not works. How it will work on server then ?

[@Tuto1902]

Well, the listen command is meant only for local development. Stripe webhooks will try to send a request to your application url (as defined in your .env file) But think about the following. Imagine your local url is something like example.test. When working locally, stripe will try to send a request to example.test/stripe/webhook which is not accessible from the internet. But when in production, your application will be publicly accessible. Therefore, stripe is able to make a request to your application webhook (my-app.com/stripe/webhook/). In summary, stripe CLI is only meant to help you work locally and listen for stripe webhooks while developing your app. laravel.com/docs/11.x/billing#handling-stripe-webhooks

[@milenkostadinov8702]

Hey Tuto, hello again. So I've tested your tutorial to the letter and I have an issue (most likely you would have it too) while trying to pay the Lifetime subscription. The error states: You must provide at least one recurring price in `subscription` mode when using prices. I guess the issue is that Stripe expects an extra parameter as to know that this payment is not reoccurring. Can you check it up on your side just to make sure it is not only in my code?

[@Tuto1902]

Yeah, I had that same issue. I think I solved it in the Course website livestream. Specifically when dealing with lifetime members, which is a one off payment. kzbin.info/www/bejne/sIfUoIx8e5uDj6c

[@kikky7]

About the webhooks, I tried to setup it by docs and after failing (500 error) I found your video. I did everything same as in video, but every time getting that same 500 error "Failed to connect to remote host"... Local setup is with Laravel Herd on MacOS. On Stripe dashboard I can see hosted endpoint as active (100% error rate) and local listener to the same hosted endpoint with status Listening. Did you have such case?

[@Tuto1902]

I wish I could be more helpful but this didn't happen for me. I was able to listen to the webhooks by following the Laravel docs.

[@kikky7]

@Tuto1902 I did fix it, but don't remember exactly how. I think it only worked for me with localhost, and the error was when using local domain like myapp.test

hey I have created webhook accurately events are fine, subscription is working fine and getting updated in stripe dashboard but in my database subscription table is not getting populated don't know why is that? any clue anyone? I am using Stripe CLI...

No idea. I would recommend going over the Laravel docs about stripe webhooks to make sure you didn't miss anything important. One thing I would do is register a listener for the webhook events to make sure they are being properly handled laravel.com/docs/11.x/billing#defining-webhook-event-handlers

If you are using uuid for users table id column, then you have to modify subscriptions table user_id column type. set in migrations like this: $table->foreignUuid('user_id'); final result: Schema::create('subscriptions', function (Blueprint $table) { $table->id(); $table->foreignUuid('user_id'); // modified this line $table->string('type'); $table->string('stripe_id')->unique(); $table->string('stripe_status'); $table->string('stripe_price')->nullable(); $table->integer('quantity')->nullable(); $table->timestamp('trial_ends_at')->nullable(); $table->timestamp('ends_at')->nullable(); $table->timestamps(); $table->index(['user_id', 'stripe_status']); }); and rollback and remigrate: php artisan migrate:rollback --path=database/migrations/2019_05_03_000002_create_subscriptions_table.php and after this run: php artisan migrate in my case that issue was caused by that user_id column which I had uuid not integers like 1,2,3. Bonus tips for anyone else: If something is not working as it should and you don't get any visible errors in console or page than always check laravels log file stored in storage/logs/
