Process Payments With Stripe and Laravel Cashier

Instructor: Jason Lewis

Stripe is a payment processing service that comes with a suite of easy-to-use APIs that powers e-commerce for businesses of all sizes. Stripe makes it easy to implement secure credit-card transactions while providing your users the convenience of in-page checkout. Not only that, but Stripe has built-in support for subscriptions and recurring billing.

Laravel is the perfect back-end technology for implementing a Stripe-powered store. Along with Laravel's built-in object-relational mapping, routing and authentication functionality, there is also native support for Stripe with Laravel Cashier.

In this course, Envato Tuts+ instructor Jason Lewis will show you how to process payments on Stripe using Laravel Cashier. You'll cover a number of key topics, including how to prepare your database for payments and pointers to the security concerns you should be aware of when handling cardholder data. You'll also learn how to process single, one-off payments for an online shopping cart, and even how to handle Stripe subscriptions.
