Stripe.net is a full service .net api for http://stripe.com.

For more information about the examples below, visit https://stripe.com/docs/api for a full reference.

Quick Start

It is recommended that you install Stripe.net via NuGet. If you wish to build it yourself via build.cmd, you will need ruby installed along with the gems albacore and zip.

Add a reference to Stripe.net.dll.

Next you will need to provide Stripe.net with your api key. There are 3 ways to do this: Choose one.

a) Add an AppSetting with your api key to your config (this is the easiest way)

<appSettings>
...
	<add key="StripeApiKey" value="[your api key here]" />
...
</appSettings>

b) In your application initialization, call (this is a programmatic way, but you only have to do it once during startup)

StripeConfiguration.SetApiKey("[your api key here]");

c) In any of the service constructors documented below, you can optionally pass the api key (not recommended for single app/single key use). i.e...

var planService = new StripePlanService("[your api key here]");

Use the library :)

Examples

Plans

Creating a plan

If your site has multiple offerings, plans are perfect. You can create as many plans as you want and then just assign customers to those plans later on.

var myPlan = new StripePlanCreateOptions();
myPlan.AmountInCents = 1000;    // all amounts on Stripe are in cents
myPlan.Currency = "usd";        // "usd" only supported right now
myPlan.Interval = "month";      // "month" or "year"
myPlan.IntervalCount = 1;       // optional
myPlan.Name = "Bronze";
myPlan.TrialPeriodDays = 30;    // amount of time that will lapse before the customer is billed

var planService = new StripePlanService();
StripePlan response = planService.Create(myPlan);

The returned StripePlan entity above will have a unique Id. You will want to persist this for later. When you create a customer you will be able to assign them to a plan id (or not)

Updating a plan

var myPlan = new StripePlanUpdateOptions();

myPlan.Name = "NEW Plan YO!";

var planService = new StripePlanService();
StripePlan response = planService.Update(*planId*, myPlan);

Retrieving a plan

var planService = new StripePlanService();
StripePlan response = planService.Get(*planId*);

Deleting a plan

var planService = new StripePlanService();
planService.Delete(*planId*);

List all plans

var planService = new StripePlanService();
IEnumerable<StripePlan> response = planService.List(); // can optionally pass count (defaults to 10) and offset

Coupons (queue-pons not coo-pons)

Creating a coupon

var myCoupon = new StripeCouponCreateOptions();
myCoupon.Id = "HOLIDAY10OFF";
myCoupon.PercentOff = "10";
myCoupon.Duration = "repeating";    // "forever", "once", or "repeating"
myCoupon.DurationInMonths = 3;      // valid when "repeating" only

// set these if you want to
myCoupon.MaxRedemptions = 100;
myCoupon.RedeemBy = '12/31/2012';

var couponService = new StripeCouponService();
StripeCoupon response = couponService.Create(myCoupon);

Retrieving a coupon

var couponService = new StripeCouponService();
StripeCoupon response = couponService.Get(*couponId*);

Deleting a coupon

var couponService = new StripeCouponService();
couponService.Delete(*couponId*);

List all coupons

var couponService = new StripeCouponService();
IEnumerable<StripeCoupon> response = couponService.List();    // can optionally pass count (defaults to 10) and offset

Tokens

Creating a token

A token can be used anywhere on Stripe where you would normally pass a card. Once it's created, it can be used on a customer or a charge, but only used once.

var myToken = new StripeTokenCreateOptions();

// set these properties if using a card
myToken.CardAddressCountry = "US";
myToken.CardAddressLine1 = "24 Portal St";
myToken.CardAddressLine2 = "Unit B";
myToken.CardAddressCity = "Biggie Smalls";
myToken.CardAddressState = "NC";
myToken.CardAddressZip = "27617";
myToken.CardCvc = "1223";
myToken.CardExpirationMonth = "10";
myToken.CardExpirationYear = "2012";
myToken.CardName = "Gabe Newell";
myToken.CardNumber = "4242424242424242";

// set this property if using a customer (stripe connect only)
myToken.CustomerId = *customerId*;

var tokenService = new StripeTokenService();
StripeToken stripeToken = tokenService.Create(myToken);

Tokens are very useful if you don't want to store the customers credit card information on your servers (pci compliance).

Retrieving a token

var tokenService = new StripeTokenService();
StripeToken stripeToken = tokenService.Get(*tokenId*);

Customers

Creating a customer

When creating a customer, you can specify any plan they are on, any coupons that will apply, a credit card or token, and various meta data.

var myCustomer = new StripeCustomerCreateOptions();

// set these properties if it makes you happy
myCustomer.Email = "pork@email.com";
myCustomer.Description = "Johnny Tenderloin (pork@email.com)";

// set this property if using a token
myCustomer.TokenId = *tokenId*;

// set these properties if passing full card details (do not
// set these properties if you have set TokenId)
myCustomer.CardNumber = "4242424242424242";
myCustomer.CardExpirationYear = "2012";
myCustomer.CardExpirationMonth = "10";
myCustomer.CardAddressCountry = "US";                // optional
myCustomer.CardAddressLine1 = "24 Beef Flank St";    // optional
myCustomer.CardAddressLine2 = "Apt 24";              // optional
myCustomer.CardAddressCity = "Biggie Smalls";        // optional
myCustomer.CardAddressState = "NC";                  // optional
myCustomer.CardAddressZip = "27617";                 // optional
myCustomer.CardName = "Joe Meatballs";               // optional
myCustomer.CardCvc = "1223";                         // optional


myCustomer.PlanId = *planId*;                          // only if you have a plan
myCustomer.Coupon = *couponId*;                        // only if you have a coupon
myCustomer.TrialEnd = DateTime.UtcNow.AddMonths(1);    // when the customers trial ends (overrides the plan if applicable)
myCustomer.Quantity = 1;                               // optional, defaults to 1

var customerService = new StripeCustomerService();
StripeCustomer stripeCustomer = customerService.Create(myCustomer);

Don't let this be intimidating - all of these fields are optional. You could just create a customer with an email if you wanted.

Updating a customer

myUpdatedSubscription.PlanId = *planId*;			
myUpdatedSubscription.CouponId = *couponId*;
myUpdatedSubscription.TrialEnd = DateTime.UtcNow.AddMonths(1);
myUpdatedSubscription.Quantity = 1;                             // optional, defaults to 1

// set this property if you wish to end the customer's trial right now
myUpdatedSubscription.EndTrialNow = true;

var customerService = new StripeCustomerService();
StripeSubscription subscription = customerService.UpdateSubscription(*customerId*, myUpdatedSubscription);

Events

Stripe sends Events (or webhooks) whenever an associated action occurs. The list of events Stripe sends is documented here: https://stripe.com/docs/api#event_types

Receiving events from Stripe

1. In your application, create a handler that looks something like the below:

   namespace TheBestApplicationEverCreated { public class StripeHandler : IHttpHandler { public bool IsReusable { get { return true; } }

    	public void ProcessRequest(HttpContext context)
    	{
    		var json = new StreamReader(context.Request.InputStream).ReadToEnd();
   
    		var stripeEvent = StripeEventUtility.ParseEvent(json);
   
    		switch (stripeEvent.Type)
    		{
    			case "charge.refunded":  // take a look at all the types here: https://stripe.com/docs/api#event_types
    				var stripeCharge = Stripe.Mapper<StripeCharge>.MapFromJson(stripeEvent.Data.Object.ToString());
    				break;
    		}
    	}
    }
   

   }

2. Create a StripeHandler.ashx in the root of your website (or wherever) that looks like this:

   <%@ WebHandler Language="C#" Class="StripeHandler" CodeBehind="StripeHandler.cs" %>

3. Login to Stripe and go to Account Settings, webhooks - from here, you can setup the url that points to your StripeHandler.ashx for testing.

Whenever an Event is received, StripeEventUtility.ParseEvent(json) will convert the response into a StripeEvent object.

Retrieving an event

If you have the id and you want to retrieve the event

var eventService = new StripeEventService();
StripeEvent response = eventService.Get(*eventId*)

List all events

You can list events in the same way everything else works in Stripe.net.

var eventService = new StripeEventService();
IEnumerable<StripeEvent> response = eventService.List();    // can optionally pass count (defaults to 10), offset, and StripeEventSearchOptions

You can also optionally pass a StripeSearchEventOptions which supports a specific Created timestamp, LessThan, LessThanOrEqualTo, GreaterThan, or GreaterThanOrEqualTo.

var eventService = new StripeEventService();

var eventSearchOptions = new StripeEventSearchOptions();

// created will match on an exact date time
eventSearchOptions.Created = DateTime.UtcNow; 

// or you could do something like
eventSearchOptions.LessThanOrEqualTo = DateTime.UtcNow;
eventSearchOptions.GreaterThanOrEqualTo = DateTime.UtcNow.AddMonths(-1);

IEnumerable<StripeEvent> response = eventService.List(10, 0, eventSearchOptions);

Stripe Connect

For information about how to use Stripe Connect, see this comment https://github.com/jaymedavis/stripe.net/pull/43#issuecomment-10903921

Errors

Any errors that occur on any of the services will throw a StripeException with the message returned from Stripe. It is a good idea to run your service calls in a try and catch StripeException.

The StripeException contains and HttpStatusCode and a StripeError entity. The StripeError entity contains the type, message, code and param. For more infomation, review the Errors section of stripe here: https://stripe.com/docs/api#errors
