Installation

You can install the VueSaga Library via npm:

npm install vuesaga

Additionally, you need to include the Stripe JavaScript library in your project. Add the following script tag to your index.html file:

<script src="https://js.stripe.com/v3/"></script>

Usage

To use the library in your Vue.js project, follow these steps:

  1. Import the desired components:
import { StripeElement, StripeCheckout } from 'vuesaga'
  1. Register the components in your Vue component:
components: {
    StripeElement,
    StripeCheckout,
},
  1. Define the required props and options for the components:
  data: () => ({
     pk: 'pk_test_xxx',
     options:{
      server_url: 'example.com/api/create-setup',
      amount: 2000 //required for checkout & elements when mode == 'payment'
    }
  })
  1. Implement the components in your template:
<template>
    <div>
        <StripeElement :pk="pk" :options="options" @verify="handler" />
        <StripeCheckout :pk="pk" :options="options" @verify="handler" />
    </div>
</template>
  1. Implement the event handler for the verify event emitted by the components:
methods:{
  handler(feed) {
    console.log(feed);
 }
}
  1. Required for StripeElement ONLY: Trigger the form submission:
  data: () => ({
    btnTaps: 1
  })

... now update your template:

<template>
    <div>
        <StripeElement :pk="pk" :tap="btnTaps" :options="options" @verify="handler" />
        <a-button @click="btnTaps++">Submit</a-button>

        <StripeCheckout :pk="pk" :options="options" @verify="handler" />
    </div>
</template>

Props

Vuesaga accepts the following props:

  • pk (String, required): The Stripe publishable key.
  • tap (Number, required)[Elements ONLY]: A reactive property that triggers the submission of the payment form when its value changes.
  • options (Object, required): An object containing the configuration options for Stripe Elements / Checkount. It includes the following properties:
    • mode (String, default: 'setup'): The mode of the integration, either 'setup' or 'payment'. This determines whether you are setting up a payment method or processing a payment.
    • currency (String, default: 'usd'): The currency to use for the payment.
    • amount (Number, default: 1000): The payment amount in cents. This is only applicable for checkount and when element the mode is set to 'payment'.
    • r_url (String): The return URL after the payment is completed.
    • server_url (String, required): The URL where you handle the server-side processing of the payment or setup.
    • appearance (Object): An object containing appearance-related options:
      • labels (String, default: 'above'): The position of the labels in the payment form.
      • theme (String, default: 'flat'): The theme of the payment form.

Events

  • verify: An event emitted by the component to notify the parent component about the payment / setup verification status. It provides an object with the following properties:

    • chain (String): The chain of events or components where the verification occurred.

    • error (Boolean): Indicates whether an error occurred or not.

    • data (Object): Additional data related to the verification process.

Server

server_url Prop

The options.server_url prop is an important property used in both the StripeElement and StripeCheckout components. It specifies the server endpoint URL where the library will make API requests to handle payment / setup intents and confirmations with Stripe.

When a payment is submitted, VueSaga sends a request to the specified server_url endpoint to confirm the setup or payment. Your server is expected to provide a client_secret in JSON format as a response. Here's an example of the expected JSON format:

{ 
  secret: "your_client_secret_value"
}

Make sure to include the secret field with the appropriate value in the JSON response from your server to enable seamless integration with VueSaga.


SetupIntent and PaymentIntent for various programming languages:

IMPORTANT: Always enable automatic_payment_methods in your server code.


Data Sent to the Server

The data sent to the server_url endpoint depends on the specific component and mode of operation.

For the StripeElement (mode:payment) component & checkout, when submitting the payment form, the library sends a POST request to the server_url with the following JSON payload:

{
    "currency": "<currency_code>",
    "amount": <payment_amount>
}

Where:

  • <currency_code> is the currency code specified in the options prop (or the default if not provided).
  • <payment_amount> is the payment amount specified in the options prop (or the default if not provided).

On the other hand, for the StripeElement with mode: setup, an empty body is sent to the server_url endpoint

Server Response

The server endpoint specified by the server_url prop should handle the incoming requests and communicate with Stripe's API to create or retrieve the necessary information.

Upon receiving the request, the server should perform the following steps:

  • Interact with Stripe's API to create or retrieve a payment intent, depending on the mode of operation (payment or setup).
  • Retrieve the client_secret from the payment intent created or retrieved from Stripe.
  • Return the client_secret in the server's response.

The server's response should have the following structure:

{
  "secret": "<client_secret>"
}

Where <client_secret> is the value obtained from the payment / setup intent.

VueSaga will use this client_secret to confirm the payment intent with Stripe and complete the payment process.

It's important to ensure that your server-side code securely communicates with Stripe's API, validates requests, and handles errors gracefully.


Please note that the exact implementation details of the server-side code are beyond the scope of this library's documentation, as it depends on your specific server environment and programming language. Consult Stripe's official documentation and relevant server-side resources for guidance on implementing the server-side integration.


Examples

Here's an example of how you can implement the server-side code using Express.js:

Example 1: StripeElement(setup)

Vue:

<script>
  import { StripeElement } from 'vuesaga'

  export default{
    components: { StripeElement },
    data: () => ({
      public_key: 'pk_test_xxx',
      tap: 1
      options: {
        server_url: '/create-setup-intent',
      }
    }),
    methods:{
      handlder(feed){
        console.log(feed) //Do something else with this info
      }
    }
  }
</script>
<template>
  <StripeElement :pk="public_key" :tap="tap" :options="options" @verify="handler"  />
  <button @click="tap++">Save Card</button>
</template>

Express.js:

const express = require('express');
const app = express();
const stripe = require('stripe')('YOUR_STRIPE_SECRET_KEY');

app.use(express.json());

//Ref: (https://stripe.com/docs/api/payment_intents/create)
app.post('/create-setup-intent', async (req, res) => {

    const setupIntent = await stripe.setupIntents.create({
        automatic_payment_methods: { enabled: true }
    })

    res.status(200).json({
        secret: setupIntent['client_secret']
    })
})

app.listen(3000, () => {
  console.log('Server listening on port 3000');
});

Example 2: StripeElement(payment) and StripeCheckout

Vue:

<script>
  import { StripeElement, StripeCheckout } from 'vuesaga'

  export default{
    components: { 
      StripeElement, StripeCheckout
   },
    data: () => ({
      public_key: 'pk_test_xxx',
      tap: 1
      options: {
        server_url: '/create-payment-intent',
        mode: 'payment',
        amount: 3000
      }
    }),
    methods:{
      handlder(feed){
        console.log(feed) //Do something else with this info
      }
    }
  }
</script>
<template>
  <StripeElement :pk="public_key" :tap="tap" :options="options" @verify="handler"  />
  <button @click="tap++">Pay $30.00</button>

  <br />
  <StripeCheckout :pk="public_key" :options="options" @verify="handler"  />
</template>

Express.js:

const express = require('express');
const app = express();
const stripe = require('stripe')('YOUR_STRIPE_SECRET_KEY');

app.use(express.json());

//Ref: (https://stripe.com/docs/api/payment_intents/create)
app.post('/create-payment-intent', async (req, res) => {
    const data = req.body

    const paymentIntent = await stripe.paymentIntents.create({
        amount: data.amount,
        currency: data.currency,
        automatic_payment_methods: { enabled: true },
    })

    res.status(200).json({
        secret: paymentIntent['client_secret']
    })
})

app.listen(3000, () => {
  console.log('Server listening on port 3000');
});
