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",

We recommend managing third-party dependencies from Packagist using Composer, which allows you to add new libraries and include them in your PHP projects.

Install Composer

From the command line, download Composer using the instructions.

The latest version of the Stripe PHP server-side SDK is v17.0.0. It supports PHP versions 5.6.0+.

Check your PHP version:

php --version

Install the library

Install the library with Composer, a package manager for PHP:

composer require stripe/stripe-php

After you install the library with Composer, it’s automatically added as a dependency in your project’s composer.json file. For example:

{
    "require": {
        "stripe/stripe-php": "^17.0.0"
    }
}

To use the bindings, use Composer’s autoload. For example:

require_once('vendor/autoload.php');

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

<?php
require_once('vendor/autoload.php');

$stripe = new \Stripe\StripeClient("sk_test_BQokikJOvBiI2HlWgH4olfQ2");

$product = $stripe->products->create([
  'name' => 'Starter Subscription',
  'description' => '$12/Month subscription',
]);
echo "Success! Here is your starter subscription product id: " . $product->id . "\n";

$price = $stripe->prices->create([
  'unit_amount' => 1200,
  'currency' => 'usd',
  'recurring' => ['interval' => 'month'],
  'product' => $product['id'],
]);
echo "Success! Here is your starter subscription price id: " . $price->id . "\n";

?>

Save the file as create_price.php. From the command line, cd to the directory containing the file you just saved and run:

php create_price.php

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: price_0KxBDl589O8KAxCG1alJgiA6
Success! Here is your starter subscription price id: price_0KxBDm589O8KAxCGMgG7scjb
