NxtBn's Stripe Payment Link Plugin

NxtBn's Stripe Payment Link Plugin can be installed in NxtBn Ecom in two ways: one is via the NxtBn dashboard panel and another is manually by modifying the codebase.

Installation

Via NxtBn Dashboard

1. Go to the Plugins section in the dashboard: Plugins > Upload Plugin.
2. During the upload, select the plugin category as "payment_processor".

Manually

1. Download or clone this project.
2. Place the files in your NxtBn codebase at this location: nxtbn/payment/plugin/.

That's it! The plugin will automatically be recognized by the system.

Configuration

The Stripe Payment Link Plugin requires the following environment variables to be set:

• STRIPE_SUCCESS_URL=
• STRIPE_CANCEL_URL=
• STRIPE_WEBHOOK_KEY=
• STRIPE_SECRET_KEY=

Updating .env Variables

You can update these variables either via the NxtBn dashboard under Settings or directly in the codebase using:

nano .env

Obtaining Stripe API Keys

To fully integrate the Stripe Payment Link Plugin with your NxtBn Ecom platform, you need to obtain a few specific API keys from Stripe: the Secret Key and the Webhook Key. Here's how you can retrieve these keys:

Stripe Secret Key

The Stripe Secret Key is essential for server-side interactions with Stripe's API. Follow these steps to obtain your Secret Key:

1. Log in to your Stripe Dashboard.
2. Navigate to the Developers section in the sidebar.
3. Under API keys, you'll find your Secret Key. It's recommended to use the key in test mode first to ensure everything works as expected before switching to live mode.

Stripe Webhook Key

The Webhook Key is necessary for receiving callbacks from Stripe to your server. Here's how to set it up:

1. In the Stripe Dashboard, go to Developers > Webhooks.
2. Click on + Add endpoint and enter the URL where you want to receive the webhook events. If you use this plugin, your webhook endpoint is: /payment/storefront/api/webhook-view/{payment_plugin_id} Here {payment_plugin_id} should be stripe-payment-link or the directory name you give inside the nxtbn/payment/plugin directory.
3. Select the events you want to listen to, for example, payment intents or charge completions.
4. After setting up the endpoint, Stripe will generate a Webhook Secret (your Webhook Key), which you will use to validate received events.

Ensure you store these keys securely and only in your environment variables to protect sensitive information.
