Lightrail Stripe Sample Web App

This project demonstrates how to use Lightrail's Drop-in Gift Card components. See our Drop-in Gift Card documentation for a quick overview.

This demo is implemented in 4 environments: .NET, NodeJS, Ruby and PHP. (Java is coming soon.) Each environment uses language-specific libraries for Lightrail and Lightrail-Stripe that we strongly recommend. Common display code is rendered using Mustache templates, but any similar technology will do.

Configuring

This demo needs details about your Stripe and Lightrail accounts to run.

Step 1: Setting Environment Config

Inside the shared directory copy the file .env.example to a new file called .env. Set the variables as explained below. Be sure to use test credentials from both your Lightrail and Stripe accounts.

LIGHTRAIL_API_KEY: Generate an API key for your Lightrail account here;
LIGHTRAIL_SHARED_SECRET: From the same page as where you generated an API key, scroll down to view your Shared Secret Key.
STRIPE_API_KEY and STRIPE_PUBLISHABLE_KEY: Stripe API Key and Publishable Key; you can find this information in your Stripe account.

Optional Fields

The default values in .env.example are fine but you can change these.

TITLE: The title of the store.
SHOPPER_ID: The shopper that will be interacting with the checkout page as well as the default shopper used for account management.
ORDER_TOTAL: The total amount the shopper will be charged at checkout.

Note, the redemption widget will automatically create an account if no account exists yet for a given Shopper Token. If you want to manually create an account for a Shopper Token go to the account management page to create and fund the account.

Step 2: Drop-in Gift Card Setup

You'll need to setup your Drop-in Gift Card template within your Lightrail account. For this demo use http://localhost:3000/redeem?code={{fullcode}} for the claim link. The other values can be mock placeholders and are not necessary for testing the basic flow.
