Quick Overview

The stripe-cli is a command-line interface tool developed by Stripe for interacting with the Stripe API. It provides developers with a convenient way to manage Stripe resources, test webhooks, and perform various Stripe-related tasks directly from the terminal.

Pros

  • Simplifies local development and testing of Stripe integrations
  • Offers real-time webhook event monitoring and forwarding
  • Provides easy access to Stripe API functionality through command-line commands
  • Supports multiple environments (test and live) with easy switching

Cons

  • Limited to command-line interface, which may not be suitable for all users
  • Requires separate installation and setup process
  • May have a learning curve for developers new to CLI tools
  • Some advanced features might require additional configuration

Getting Started

  1. Install the Stripe CLI:

    brew install stripe/stripe-cli/stripe
    
  2. Log in to your Stripe account:

    stripe login
    
  3. Listen for webhook events:

    stripe listen --forward-to localhost:3000/webhook
    
  4. Create a customer:

    stripe customers create --name="John Doe" --email="john@example.com"
    
  5. List recent payments:

    stripe payments list --limit 5
    

These instructions provide a quick start for installing the Stripe CLI, logging in, and performing basic operations. For more detailed usage and advanced features, refer to the official Stripe CLI documentation.

Competitor Comparisons

GitHub’s official command line tool

Pros of cli/cli

  • More comprehensive GitHub functionality, covering a wider range of GitHub features
  • Larger community and more frequent updates, leading to better support and faster bug fixes
  • Designed for general GitHub users, not limited to a specific service

Cons of cli/cli

  • Steeper learning curve due to more complex functionality
  • May include features unnecessary for users primarily focused on repository management

Code Comparison

stripe-cli:

stripe listen --forward-to localhost:3000/webhook

cli/cli:

gh repo create my-project --public
gh issue create --title "Bug report" --body "Description of the issue"

The stripe-cli example shows how to listen for webhook events, while cli/cli demonstrates creating a repository and an issue. This highlights the difference in focus between the two CLIs, with stripe-cli being more specialized for Stripe-related tasks and cli/cli offering broader GitHub functionality.

Universal Command Line Interface for Amazon Web Services

Pros of AWS CLI

  • More comprehensive feature set, covering a wider range of AWS services
  • Larger community and more extensive documentation
  • Supports multiple programming languages through SDKs

Cons of AWS CLI

  • Steeper learning curve due to the vast number of commands and options
  • Slower release cycle for new features compared to Stripe CLI
  • More complex installation process, especially on Windows

Code Comparison

AWS CLI example:

aws s3 cp myfile.txt s3://my-bucket/
aws ec2 describe-instances --filters "Name=instance-type,Values=t2.micro"

Stripe CLI example:

stripe listen --forward-to localhost:3000/webhook
stripe trigger payment_intent.succeeded

The AWS CLI typically requires more verbose commands with multiple options, while the Stripe CLI focuses on simpler, more specific actions related to Stripe's services.

Both CLIs offer powerful functionality for their respective platforms, but AWS CLI covers a broader range of services and has a more complex structure. Stripe CLI, on the other hand, provides a more streamlined experience focused on Stripe's payment processing and related features.

Installation

Stripe CLI is available for macOS, Windows, and Linux for distros like Ubuntu, Debian, RedHat and CentOS.

macOS

Stripe CLI is available on macOS via Homebrew:

brew install stripe/stripe-cli/stripe

Linux

Refer to the installation instructions for available Linux installation options.

Windows

Stripe CLI is available on Windows via the Scoop package manager:

scoop bucket add stripe https://github.com/stripe/scoop-stripe-cli.git
scoop install stripe

Docker

The CLI is also available as a Docker image: stripe/stripe-cli.

docker run --rm -it stripe/stripe-cli version
stripe version x.y.z (beta)

Password Store Setup with Docker

While test mode doesn’t require password store, you will need to set it up if you wish to perform live mode requests.

You can also make live mode requests on a per command basis by attaching the --api-key flag.

  1. Create entrypoint.sh
#!/bin/sh
if ! [ -f ~/.gnupg/trustdb.gpg ] ; then
  chmod 700 ~/.gnupg/
  gpg --quick-generate-key stripe-live # This will generate a gpg key called "stripe-live"
fi
if ! [ -f ~/.password-store/.gpg-id ] ; then
  pass init stripe-live # This will initialize a password store record named "stripe-live", using the gpg key above
  pass insert stripe-live # This will insert value for the password store "stripe-live", which we will put Stripe Live Secret Key in
fi

string="$@"
liveflag="--live"

if [ -z "${string##*$liveflag*}" ] ;then
  OPTS="--api-key $(pass show stripe-live)" # This will use the content of the password store "stripe-live" which was inserted in line 8
fi

#pass insert stripe-live
/bin/stripe  $@ $OPTS
  1. Create a docker file Dockerfile-cli
FROM  stripe/stripe-cli:vx.x.x
RUN  apk  add  pass  gpg-agent
COPY  ./entrypoint.sh  /entrypoint.sh
ENTRYPOINT  [ "/entrypoint.sh" ]
  1. Build the docker image
docker build -t stripe-cli -f Dockerfile-cli .
  1. Run the docker image with password volumes, replacing $command with the appropraite Stripe CLI command (i.e customers list)
docker run --rm -it -v stripe-config://root/.config/stripe/ -v stripe-gpg://root/.gnupg/ -v stripe-pass://root/.password-store/ stripe-cli $command

For live mode requests append --live after $command.

Without package managers

Instructions are also available for installing and using the CLI without a package manager.
