Implementing Stripe Payments with Akash payments gateway.

Screenshot 2024-05-18 192653

An open-source fiat payment system that seamlessly integrates with the Akash Network ecosystem. While decentralized finance (DeFi) has gained significant traction, enabling fiat payments remains a critical bridge between traditional financial systems and blockchain-based networks.

  • Contributes to enhancing accessibility, usability, and adoption of the Akash Network.
  • Features:

Fiat Payment Gateway Integration: A fiat payment gateway that allows users to purchase and manage Akash Network services using traditional fiat currencies (e.g., USD, EUR, GBP). We have integrated popular payment methods (e.g., credit/debit cards, bank transfers) into the payment system to facilitate seamless transactions.

Included functionality

Required configuration

Copy the .env.local.example file into a file named .env.local in the root directory of this project:

cp .env.local.example .env.local

You will need a Stripe account (register) to run this sample. Go to the Stripe developer dashboard to find your API keys and replace them in the .env.local file.

NEXT_PUBLIC_STRIPE_PUBLISHABLE_KEY=<replace-with-your-publishable-key>
STRIPE_SECRET_KEY=<replace-with-your-secret-key>

Now install the dependencies and start the development server.

npm install
npm run dev
# or
yarn
yarn dev

Forward webhooks to your local dev server

First install the CLI and link your Stripe account.

Next, start the webhook forwarding:

stripe listen --forward-to localhost:3000/api/webhooks

The CLI will print a webhook secret key to the console. Set STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRET to this value in your .env.local file.

Setting up a live webhook endpoint

After deploying, copy the deployment URL with the webhook path (https://your-url.vercel.app/api/webhooks) and create a live webhook endpoint in your Stripe dashboard.

Once created, you can click to reveal your webhook's signing secret. Copy the webhook secret (whsec_***) and add it as a new environment variable in your Vercel Dashboard:

  • Select your newly created project.
  • Navigate to the Settings tab.
  • In the general settings scroll to the "Environment Variables" section.

After adding an environment variable you will need to rebuild your project for it to become within your code. Within your project Dashboard, navigate to the "Deployments" tab, select the most recent deployment, click the overflow menu button (next to the "Visit" button) and select "Redeploy".

Deploy on Vercel

You can deploy this app to the cloud with Vercel (Documentation).
