Hello,
I have this error message :
No API key provided. (HINT: set your API key using "Stripe::setApiKey(<API-KEY>)". You can generate API keys from the Stripe web interface. See https://stripe.com/api for details, or email [email protected] if you have any questions.
This is my code:
public function createStandardPlan(User $user, Request $request)
{
Stripe::setApiKey(env('STRIPE_SECRET'));
return with($request->user(), function($user) use ($request) {
return with(CheckoutSession::create(array_merge($user->stripe_id ? ['customer' => $user->stripe_id] : ['customer_email' => $user->email], [
'payment_method_types' => ['card'],
'subscription_data' => [
'items' => [['plan' => 'price_id']],
],
'mode' => 'subscription',
'client_reference_id' => $user->id,
'success_url' => url('/dashboard'),
'cancel_url' => URL::previous(url('/dashboard/create-subscription')),
])), fn ($session) => $session->id);
});
}
The setApiKey is good no ? I make php artisan config:cache and route:cache but it's same.
Thank you
I wonder if the issue is where / when you are using the API key elsewhere - if it is set in this action, is it actually expected in another? You should be able to safely set the API key in the boot method of a ServiceProvider (e.g. AppServiceProvider) so if is available in all requests.
Aside, you should not use env() except in the config/*.php files.
@tykus in my config/services.php I have this :
'stripe' => [
'model' => env('CASHIER_MODEL'),
'key' => env('STRIPE_KEY'),
'secret_key' => env('STRIPE_API_SECRET'),
],
Maybe this, but how ?
If you have a different env key in the configuration lie compared with the controller action.
In any case, use the config helper to get the correct key for Stripe
config(‘services.stripe.key’)
@tykus ok it's done but I have the same error message
Does the config helper give you the correct value?
But I asked if the config helper returned the correct value; you have not proven this yet AFAIK.
Also, if the secret key is needed, then
Stripe::setApiKey(config(‘services.stripe.secret_key’))
@tykus oh sorry, how can I check if the helper return the good value ?
dd(config(‘services.stripe.secret_key’))
If you have cached your config, then clear that cache
