Overview

Stripe handles payment processing for online businesses — one-time charges, subscription billing, invoicing, marketplace payouts (Connect), and fraud prevention (Radar). This skill covers the Python SDK (stripe module).

Installation

uv pip install stripe

One-Time Charge

import stripe
stripe.api_key = "sk_test_..."

charge = stripe.Charge.create(
    amount=2000,  # $20.00 in cents
    currency="usd",
    source="tok_visa",  # token from Stripe.js
    description="Example charge",
)
print(charge.id, charge.status)

Subscription

customer = stripe.Customer.create(email="[email protected]")
subscription = stripe.Subscription.create(
    customer=customer.id,
    items=[{"price": "price_123"}],  # recurring price ID
)
print(subscription.id, subscription.status)
