Stripe CLI

Stripe's official CLI. Forward webhooks to localhost while you build, trigger any event for testing, browse charges and customers from the shell, and tail real-time logs. TerminalSync keeps the Stripe workflow close to the project terminal and protects `.env` secrets through the encrypted vault.

What it does

stripe is the official Stripe CLI. The killer feature is stripe listen --forward-to localhost:3000/api/webhooks/stripe, which proxies live webhook events to your local server so you can test the full payment flow without ngrok. Beyond that: trigger events (stripe trigger checkout.session.completed), browse customers and charges, generate test cards, and tail logs in real-time.

What TerminalSync adds

  • Workflow guide. Install, login and webhook commands live next to the terminal where your AI is working, so a new machine has the right Stripe runbook immediately.
  • Webhook secret in env vault. Put the whsec_… value from stripe listen in a project .env file and TerminalSync can keep that file encrypted in the folder vault.
  • MCP bridge. Pair with the Stripe MCP connector and Claude can read customers, refund charges and query subscriptions through the connector's own Stripe auth.

Typical commands

stripe listen --forward-to localhost:3000/api/webhooks/stripe
stripe trigger checkout.session.completed
stripe customers list --limit 5
stripe logs tail
stripe products list
How does sync work? Today TerminalSync syncs GitHub CLI through a dedicated Auth Sync flow. For the other CLIs, this page gives you install, login and recommended commands; project secrets that land in .env files can travel through the folder's encrypted vault. Automatic per-CLI auth sync is a future layer.
