Stripe Checkout Not Working in Production in Lovable App
Stripe checkout works perfectly in test mode but fails when you switch to live/production keys. The checkout button does nothing, the Stripe form shows errors, or payments process but your app doesn't receive the confirmation.
Payment processing failures directly impact your revenue. Every failed checkout is a lost customer who may never return. This is the most business-critical bug your app can have.
Common symptoms include: the checkout redirect failing silently, the payment succeeding on Stripe's dashboard but the webhook not updating your app, or the live API key being rejected.
Error Messages You Might See
No such price: 'price_...'
Webhook signature verification failed
Your account cannot currently make live charges
Invalid API Key provided: sk_test_...
Common Causes
- Test keys in production — The app still uses sk_test_ and pk_test_ keys instead of sk_live_ and pk_live_ keys
- Webhook endpoint not updated — Webhooks are configured for your test endpoint but not the production URL
- Webhook secret mismatch — The webhook signing secret doesn't match between Stripe dashboard and your environment variables
- Products not created in live mode — Price IDs from test mode don't exist in live mode; you need to recreate products
- Account not fully activated — Your Stripe account hasn't completed the verification process required for live payments
How to Fix It
- Verify you're using live keys — Check that environment variables use sk_live_ and pk_live_ prefixed keys, not test keys
- Recreate products in live mode — Products and prices created in test mode don't carry over. Create them again in live mode and update your price IDs
- Configure live webhooks — In Stripe dashboard → Developers → Webhooks, add your production URL as a webhook endpoint for live events
- Update webhook signing secret — Copy the signing secret from the live webhook endpoint and update your environment variable
- Complete Stripe account activation — Go to Stripe dashboard and complete any pending verification steps required for live payments

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.**

Get HelpFrequently Asked Questions
Why do test payments work but live payments don't?
Test and live mode are completely separate in Stripe. Products, prices, webhooks, and API keys are all different between modes. You need to set up everything again for live mode.
How do I test live payments without real charges?
You can't avoid real charges in live mode — that's the point. Test thoroughly in test mode first, then use small amounts ($0.50) for your first live test. You can refund test charges immediately.
