Hello
vernal shadow
Hello - is this a real person or bot?
lyric whale
Real person
We are real Stripe devs that help developers. We staff this channel 24/5
Anyways, can you share your code for how you are importing and initializing Stripe here?
vernal shadow
Ok. In terminal, I simply did [npm i stripe]
"use strict";
const stripe = require("stripe")(sk_test....);
that's at the very top of a .js file
from the docs, this should work just fine
lyric whale
Yeah that all seems fine. It sounds like something went wrong with your installation or there is some conflicting dependeny that doesn't like your stripe dependency in your package.json
Can you try uninstalling and reinstalling and running your server again?

that's the package.json for the server
I'll try uninstalling and reinstalling again
I have strapi installed on the server also as you can see
It's not setup as a module; e.g., "type": "module"
lyric whale
All that looks fine to me but I don't know anything about Strapi
Clearly you do have stripe installed as a depedency
Maybe Strapi wants you to use an ES module here? We have an example of type of import at https://github.com/stripe/stripe-node
vernal shadow
I've tried that and I get "Cannot use import statement outside of a module"
per that link you shared, I replaced that const stripe statement with import Stripe from "stripe";
const stripe = new Stripe(sk_test..., {
apiVersion: "2023-08-16",
});

Hmmm honestly I'm not sure. It should just work by installing Stripe as a dependency and then initializing via const stripe = require("stripe")(sk_test....);
So to me this sounds like something particular to the plugin you are using and you may want to reach out to them
