Payments

Code that runs on payments.ente.io. It brokers between our services and Stripe's API for payments.

Development

There are three pieces that need to be connected to have a working local setup:

• A client app
• This web app
• Museum

Client app

For the client, let us consider the Photos web app (similar configuration can be done in the mobile client too).

Add the following to web/apps/photos/.env.local:

NEXT_PUBLIC_ENTE_ENDPOINT = http://localhost:8080
NEXT_PUBLIC_ENTE_PAYMENTS_ENDPOINT = http://localhost:3001

Then start it locally

yarn dev:photos

This tells it to connect to the museum and payments app running on localhost.

For connecting from the mobile app, you'll need to run museum on a local IP instead localhost. If so, just replace "http://localhost:8080" with (say) "http://192.168.1.2:8080" wherever mentioned.

Payments app

For this (payments) web app, configure it to connect to the local museum, and use a set of (development) Stripe keys which can be found in Stripe's developer dashboard.

Add the following to web/apps/payments/.env.local:

VITE_ENTE_ENDPOINT = http://localhost:8080
VITE_STRIPE_US_PUBLISHABLE_KEY = stripe_publishable_key

Then start it locally

yarn dev:payments

Museum

1. Install the stripe-cli and capture the webhook signing secret.

2. Define this secret within your musuem.yaml

3. Update the whitelisted-redirect-urls so that it supports redirecting to the locally running payments app.

Assuming that your local payments app is running on localhost:3001, your server/museum.yaml should look as follows.

stripe:
    us:
        key: stripe_dev_key
        webhook-secret: stripe_dev_webhook_secret
    whitelisted-redirect-urls:
        - http://localhost:3000/gallery
        - http://localhost:3001/desktop-redirect
        - http://192.168.1.2:3001/frameRedirect
    path:
        success: ?status=success&session_id={CHECKOUT_SESSION_ID}
        cancel: ?status=fail&reason=canceled

Make sure you have test plans available for museum to use, by placing them in (say) server/data/billing/us-testing.json.

Finally, start museum, for example:

docker compose up

Now if you try to purchase a plan from your locally running photos web client, it should redirect to the locally running payments app, and from there to Stripe. Once the test purchase completes it should redirect back to the local web client.
