VS Code extension beta

Check out the public beta for Stripe’s Visual Studio Code extension. Integrate and test your Stripe integration right inside your editor. You can:

• Stream request logs in real time
• Debug, trigger, and forward webhook events
• Lint your code and avoid exposing API keys

Get started

Stay updated with new features

• Checkout updates:
  • Checkout now supports tiered and metered billing to handle more complex pricing models.
