Stripe Payment Integration Not Working in Base44 App
You've integrated Stripe for payment processing in your Base44 app, but payments are failing. The checkout flow may show errors, payments may process in test mode but not live mode, or successful payments may not be reflected back in your app's database.
Payment integration failures are among the most critical issues because they directly impact revenue. Users who experience payment errors may abandon their purchase and not return.
Common symptoms include the Stripe checkout page not loading, payments showing as successful in Stripe's dashboard but not updating the order status in your app, or the entire checkout button doing nothing when clicked.
Error Messages You Might See
No such price: price_xxxxx
Invalid API Key provided
Stripe.js not loaded
Payment intent creation failed
Webhook signature verification failed
Common Causes
- Test mode API keys are being used in the production environment instead of live keys
- The Stripe webhook endpoint is not configured or not receiving payment confirmation events
- The price ID or product ID referenced in the checkout flow doesn't exist in the live Stripe account
- Stripe.js library is not loading correctly due to CSP (Content Security Policy) restrictions
- The success/cancel redirect URLs point to incorrect pages
How to Fix It
Verify that you're using the correct Stripe API keys: live keys for production, test keys for development. Check both the publishable key (client-side) and secret key (server-side).
Confirm that the Stripe webhook is configured to point to your production app's webhook URL and that it's receiving events. Check Stripe's webhook logs dashboard for delivery attempts and errors.
For complex Stripe setups involving subscriptions, invoicing, or Connect accounts, a developer experienced with Stripe's API can ensure all the pieces are correctly integrated.

I'm a full-stack developer focused on building practical and scalable web applications. My main experience is with **React, TypeScript, and modern frontend architectures**, where I prioritize clean code, component reusability, and maintainable project structures.
I have strong experience working with **dynamic forms, state management (Redux / React Hook Form), and complex data-driven interfaces**. I enjoy solving real-world problems by turning ideas into reliable software that companies can actually use in their daily operations.
Beyond coding, I care about **software quality and architecture**, following best practices for componentization, code organization, and performance optimization.
I'm also comfortable working across the stack when needed, integrating APIs, handling business logic, and helping transform prototypes into production-ready systems.
My goal is always to deliver solutions that are **simple, efficient, and genuinely useful for the people using them.**

15+ years shipping production infrastructure for startups. Former CTO at qed.builders (acquired by The Sandbox).
Cursor ambassador and agentic tooling builder.
I've scaled systems, automated deployments, and built observability tools for AI coding workflows. I specialize in taking vibe-coded apps from broken prototype to production-ready: fixing Supabase auth/RLS, Stripe integrations, deployment pipelines, and cleaning up AI-generated spaghetti.
I build tools in this space (agentprobe, claudebin, micode) and understand both sides: how AI generates code and why it breaks.

Jacek Rozanski
Senior PHP/Symfony developer and DevOps engineer with 20+ years of professional experience, running opcode.pl (web development agency, est. 2004).
Day job: I'm the sole backend developer at merketing company where I own and maintain 11 PHP/Symfony microservices on AWS (ECS Fargate, RDS, S3, CloudFront), handle the full CI/CD pipeline (Bitbucket Pipelines, Docker), and manage monitoring with Sentry and CloudWatch. These services handle high request volumes in production every month.
What I bring to AI-built apps:
- I audit and fix security issues (OWASP methodology), performance bottlenecks, and architectural problems in codebases generated by Cursor, Claude Code, Lovable, Bolt, and v0
- I refactor AI-generated prototypes into production-grade applications with proper error handling, testing, and clean architecture (SOLID, DDD, hexagonal architecture)
- I set up the infrastructure AI tools don't touch: AWS hosting, CI/CD pipelines, automated deployments, database optimization, monitoring, and alerting
- I integrate external services: payment providers, email systems, partner APIs, SSO/auth
Tech stack: PHP 8.x, Symfony, React, Next.js, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Docker, AWS (ECS, RDS, S3, SQS/SNS, CloudFront), Terraform, Supabase. I also use AI tools daily (Claude Code, Cursor) in my own workflow, so I understand both the strengths and the gaps in AI-generated code.
Based in Poland (CET timezone). Available for async work and calls during EU/US business hours.

Why do Stripe payments work in test mode but not live mode in Base44?
You need to switch from test API keys to live API keys in your production environment. Also ensure that product and price IDs exist in your live Stripe account, not just in test mode.
Why don't successful Stripe payments update my Base44 app?
Your Stripe webhook is likely not configured correctly. Set up the webhook in Stripe's dashboard to point to your production webhook URL and verify it's receiving events in Stripe's webhook logs.
