Netlify Lambda Function Example

This is an example serverless function using Netlify's Lambda function service. It processes payments with Stripe, using Stripe Checkout.

A full walkthrough of this example can be found on my blog:

Install

Run npm install.

Usage

Run npm run dev to locally serve the page at http://localhost:8080, as well as the function at http://locahost:9000/purchase.

After both of these processes are running, you'll be able to process a test purchase with Stripe. For your card number, use 4242424242424242.

Process exited before result

When I try and process my payment it says charge failed. When I go to the file directly I get this error:

{"errorMessage":"RequestId: 0f83acda-87fa-4d37-92e7-2208f799fb33 Process exited before completing request"}

This is a link to the function:

When I look at my logs it says this:

11:40:44 PM: purchase invoked
11:40:44 PM: SyntaxError: Unexpected end of JSON input at JSON.parse () at t.handler (/var/task/purchase.js:1:15721)RequestId: 030c55fe-de2a-4630-9e25-c83ab186d01c Process exited before completing request

I’m not sure but I think perhaps it’s getting to this line:

const data = JSON.parse(event.body);

Even with an empty post request body (I.e the same as visiting the file directly) the code shouldn’t be failing in this way.

getting this error

You did not set a valid publishable key. Call Stripe.setPublishableKey() with your publishable key. For more info, see https://stripe.com/docs/stripe.js
