Set up your development environment

Install

From the command-line, use an install script or download and extract a versioned archive file for your operating system to install the CLI.

brew install stripe/stripe-cli/stripe

brew install stripe-cli

Confirm setup

Now that you’ve installed the CLI, you can make a single API request to Create a product.

stripe products create \
--name="My First Product" \
--description="Created with the Stripe CLI"

Look for the product identifier (in id) in the response object. Save it for the next step.

If everything worked, the command-line displays the following response.

{
  "id": 
"prod_LTenIrmp8Q67sa",
  "object": "product",

Next, call Create a price to attach a price of 30 USD. Swap the placeholder in product with your product identifier (for example, prod_LTenIrmp8Q67sa).

stripe prices create \
  --unit-amount=3000 \
  --currency=usd \
  --product=
{{PRODUCT_ID}}

If everything worked, the command-line displays the following response.

{
  "id": 
"price_1KzlAMJJDeE9fu01WMJJr79o",
  "object": "price",

The latest version of the Stripe .NET server-side SDK is v48.0.0. It supports .NET Standard 2.0+, .NET Core 2.0+, and .NET Framework 4.6.1+.

Check your .NET SDK version:

dotnet --list-sdks

Install the library

Use the .NET Core Command Line Interface (CLI) to create a new project from the command line:

dotnet new console

To install the library, run this command to add the package reference to your project file (.csproj):

dotnet add package Stripe.net

After you install the library with the CLI, the library is automatically added as a dependency in your project file (.csproj). For example:

<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk">

  <PropertyGroup>
    <OutputType>Exe</OutputType>
    <TargetFramework>net6.0</TargetFramework>
    <ImplicitUsings>enable</ImplicitUsings>
    <Nullable>enable</Nullable>
  </PropertyGroup>

  <ItemGroup>
    <PackageReference Include="Stripe.net" Version="48.0.0" />
  </ItemGroup>

</Project>

Now that you have the .NET SDK installed, you can create a subscription Product and attach a Price with a couple of API requests. We’re using the product identifier returned in the response to create the price in this example.

using System;
using Stripe;

class Program
{
  static void Main(string[] args)
  {
    StripeConfiguration.ApiKey = "sk_test_BQokikJOvBiI2HlWgH4olfQ2";

    var optionsProduct = new ProductCreateOptions
    {
      Name = "Starter Subscription",
      Description = "$12/Month subscription",
    };
    var serviceProduct = new ProductService();
    Product product = serviceProduct.Create(optionsProduct);
    Console.Write("Success! Here is your starter subscription product id: {0}\n", product.Id);

    var optionsPrice = new PriceCreateOptions
    {
      UnitAmount = 1200,
      Currency = "usd",
      Recurring = new PriceRecurringOptions
      {
          Interval = "month",
      },
      Product = product.Id
    };
    var servicePrice = new PriceService();
    Price price = servicePrice.Create(optionsPrice);
    Console.Write("Success! Here is your starter subscription price id: {0}\n", price.Id);
  }
}

Save the code to the Program.cs file in your project. From the command line, cd to the directory containing the file you just saved and run:

dotnet run

If everything worked, the command line shows the following response. Save these identifiers so you can use them while building your integration.

Success! Here is your starter subscription product id: prod_0KxBDl589O8KAxCG1alJgiA6
Success! Here is your starter subscription price id: price_0KxBDm589O8KAxCGMgG7scjb
