Hi there!

#

If your code is working locally, the next steps are:

Upload your backend code and your frontend code to your server
And switch you test API keys (both frontend and backend) into live API keys. You can fint your keys in the Stripe dashboard here: https://dashboard.stripe.com/apikeys

ALright but shouldn't I make some changes to my code, like for exemple should I replace localhost:5500 to my domain name for exemple ?

weary belfry May 11, 2023, 10:01 AM

#

Where are you using localhost:5500 in your code?

I see fetch("http://localhost:3000/create-checkout-session" in your code. So for sure you'll need to change the URL when your website is live since the URL will be different

willow steppe May 11, 2023, 10:13 AM

#

Which url do I need to change ?
And knowing that my site is https://roomvibe.store/, do I write https://roomvibe.store:3000/create-checkout-session or https://roomvibe.store/create-checkout-session without the 3000 ?

weary belfry May 11, 2023, 10:19 AM

#

It should be the URL of your backend URL. So probably just /create-checkout-session.

#

I recommend doing some tests, and if it doesn't work look at the error message to debug this.

Ok, but the thing is that right now I have to manually start the server with the command nodemon server.js wich start it at the port 3000 as you can see in the previous github code I shared earlier. That shouldn't be the case in the live website. What should I change ?

#

it depends a lot since it really changes depending on how your site is built and how you host it

#

what server are you using to host your website?

#

have you ever deployed a web app in general before?

willow steppe May 11, 2023, 11:22 AM

#

I'm hosting my website on hostinger

#

In the file manager, there's the public_html folder and then there's all the html,css,js files

desert fractal May 11, 2023, 11:23 AM

#

do you have a VPS with them? (to let you run an app and execute code on a server), or just static hosting?

willow steppe May 11, 2023, 11:24 AM

#

I think I have a VPS

#

wait let me check

desert fractal May 11, 2023, 11:25 AM

#

you could start with https://support.hostinger.com/en/articles/1583661-is-node-js-supported-at-hostinger

#

ultimately you need a VPS or other similar system so you can run an actual Node instance on a server somewhere online to deploy this, since you need to have a Node server running and executing code, not just static hosting of HTML assets

willow steppe May 11, 2023, 11:32 AM

#

I have a shared hosting, a premium web

#

that's a vps right ?

desert fractal May 11, 2023, 11:34 AM

#

not sure

#

note that if you don't want to/don't have experience developing/deploying a web app like this, you could just embed a PaymentLink (https://stripe.com/docs/no-code/payment-links) on your static site to get started taking some payments, doesn't require any Node backend
