Stripe CLI

The Stripe CLI helps you build, test, and manage your Stripe integration right from the terminal.

With the CLI, you can:

• Securely test webhooks without relying on 3rd party software
• Trigger webhook events or resend events for easy testing
• Tail your API request logs in real-time
• Create, retrieve, update, or delete API objects.

Installation

Stripe CLI is available for macOS, Windows, and Linux for distros like Ubuntu, Debian, RedHat and CentOS.

macOS

Stripe CLI is available on macOS via Homebrew:

brew install stripe/stripe-cli/stripe

Linux

Refer to the installation instructions for available Linux installation options.

Windows

Stripe CLI is available on Windows via the Scoop package manager:

scoop bucket add stripe https://github.com/stripe/scoop-stripe-cli.git
scoop install stripe

Docker

The CLI is also available as a Docker image: stripe/stripe-cli.

docker run --rm -it stripe/stripe-cli version
stripe version x.y.z (beta)

Password Store Setup with Docker

While test mode doesn’t require password store, you will need to set it up if you wish to perform live mode requests.

You can also make live mode requests on a per command basis by attaching the --api-key flag.

1. Create entrypoint.sh

#!/bin/sh
if ! [ -f ~/.gnupg/trustdb.gpg ] ; then
  chmod 700 ~/.gnupg/
  gpg --quick-generate-key stripe-live # This will generate a gpg key called "stripe-live"
fi
if ! [ -f ~/.password-store/.gpg-id ] ; then
  pass init stripe-live # This will initialize a password store record named "stripe-live", using the gpg key above
  pass insert stripe-live # This will insert value for the password store "stripe-live", which we will put Stripe Live Secret Key in
fi

string="$@"
liveflag="--live"

if [ -z "${string##*$liveflag*}" ] ;then
  OPTS="--api-key $(pass show stripe-live)" # This will use the content of the password store "stripe-live" which was inserted in line 8
fi

#pass insert stripe-live
/bin/stripe  $@ $OPTS

1. Create a docker file Dockerfile-cli

FROM  stripe/stripe-cli:vx.x.x
RUN  apk  add  pass  gpg-agent
COPY  ./entrypoint.sh  /entrypoint.sh
ENTRYPOINT  [ "/entrypoint.sh" ]

1. Build the docker image

docker build -t stripe-cli -f Dockerfile-cli .

1. Run the docker image with password volumes, replacing $command with the appropraite Stripe CLI command (i.e customers list)

docker run --rm -it -v stripe-config://root/.config/stripe/ -v stripe-gpg://root/.gnupg/ -v stripe-pass://root/.password-store/ stripe-cli $command

For live mode requests append --live after $command.

Without package managers

Instructions are also available for installing and using the CLI without a package manager.
