Configuration

Setup

git clone https://github.com/romansorin/plaid-stripe-app.git
cd plaid-stripe-app

# Install all necessary dependencies, these can be found in package.json
npm install

.env

Create a .env (dotenv) file in the root directory (i.e., where you find index.js) and configure the following variables. These ensure your keys are secure and never shared in commits:

APP_PORT=3000
PLAID_CLIENT_ID=yourCID
PLAID_SECRET=yourSecretEnvironment
PLAID_PUBLIC_KEY=yourPK
PLAID_ENV=yourEnv

STRIPE_SECRET_KEY=yourSK

index.js

/* You'll also want to take a look at the method for creating Stripe customers, and configure
   as needed.
   --------------
   This is just a sample method which successfully creates a customer
   You can modify the fields which are stored automatically, refer to https://stripe.com/docs/api/customers/object
*/
stripe.customers.create({
  // ...
});

views/billing.ejs

/* Next, configure as needed:
*/
env: 'sandbox', // sandbox, development, production
clientName: 'Stripe + Plaid Test', // Change this to whatever you want
key: 'yourPublicKey' // This is your Plaid PUBLIC KEY

Terminal:

# If running or testing locally, type in console:
node index.js

# Go to http://localhost:[APP_PORT]

# Otherwise, see how your hosting provider handles Node.JS apps.
