Stripe Recurring payments in laravel

Use Cashier. Seriously. See subscriptions.

https://laravel.com/docs/6.x/billing

@fylzero Thank you, but I have to use stripe libraries because of difficulty in installing composer and artisan commands not executing in my project. This project was built in laravel 4.2 and I dont know why those commands doesn't works so I thould of integrating using stripe libraries and I am having difficulties in understanding in few steps.

@bikashkatwal Sounds like a pain. I'd advise to figure out how to fix composer / migrations / follow an upgrade path to get Cashier on its feet... that said...

Recurring payments are best handled by subscriptions... read up on them here.

https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/set-up-subscription

Basically you tokenize a card... add the card to a subscription... Stripe pretty much handles the rest.

If you just want to schedule a recurring dead ahead payment triggered from your app... you're gonna need cron for that... am I'm guessing if you're stuck on composer and migrations... cron won't be an option. lol =)

I feel your pain. I'm migrating to Stripe on a Symfony 2.3 project right now. The site has been around since 2006.

Following the document https://stripe.com/docs/payments/save-and-reuse

1. Create a SetupIntent:: Here $intent->client_secret is used in button

    $intent = \Stripe\SetupIntent::create();
?>
...
<input id="cardholder-name" type="text">
<!-- placeholder for Elements -->
<div id="card-element"></div>
<button id="card-button" data-secret="<?= $intent->client_secret ?>">
  Save Card
</button>
...```

What I did :

In index.blade.php
 <form id="payment-form" method="post">
        @csrf
        <input id="cardholder-name" type="text">
        <!-- placeholder for Elements -->
        <div id="card-element"></div>
        <button id="card-button" data-secret="<?= $intent->client_secret ?>">
            Save Card
        </button>
    </form>


In PaymentController: Since $intent is used in index.blade.php, I passed $intent by doing the following code.
    public function index()
    {
        \Stripe\Stripe::setApiKey(env('STRIPE_SECRET'));
        $intent = \Stripe\SetupIntent::create();
        return view('payments.index', compact("intent"));
    }

3. Collect card details : I copied and pasted the scripts as explained.

4. Save the card to a customer
\Stripe\Customer::create([
  'payment_method' => $intent->payment_method,
]);
This is only in the documentation

my side of code
public function store(Request $request)
    {
        \Stripe\Stripe::setApiKey(env('STRIPE_SECRET'));

        $intent = \Stripe\SetupIntent::all();

        $customers = \Stripe\Customer::create([
            'payment_method' => $intent->payment_method,
        ]);
        dd($customers);
    }

I am confused here the way I am doing is correct or not? This is setup recurring payments. Please help.

You can also just include them in your repo by not ignoring the /vendor folder. Working with Cashier is so much easier with laravel than the sdk directly as the vast majority of the work is already done. I agree with others who suggested to find out why composer isn't working. That single limitation is costing you, or your employer/client, money by having to spend a good deal of extra time working around it.
