In this episode, we're finally getting to the fun part—submitting a payment! We'll walk through setting up the code to actually confirm a card payment using Stripe in test mode. You'll see how to pass in the payment intent client secret and include billing details, like the customer's email, to ensure Stripe gets all the info it needs.
We'll try out a sample payment using those classic Stripe test cards (hello, 4242 4242 4242 4242!) and see how the response from Stripe tells us if it all worked or if there was an error. As we go, we'll also talk about handling any errors, so users know if something's gone wrong, and make sure they can't accidentally pay twice for the same order.
You'll also get a peek at the Stripe dashboard to check that the payment went through, and we'll prep the code to process the order only after a successful payment. Stick around—next up, we'll tie the payment and the order together so the process is seamless!
