Detailed Description

stripe-go is a Go library for the Stripe API.

The library provides programmatic access to Stripe's payment processing services, allowing developers to manage customers, payment intents, events, and other resources through Go code. It handles authentication, including support for Stripe Connect accounts via either the Stripe-Account header or account-specific keys. The library follows consistent patterns across resources, making it straightforward to work with different parts of the Stripe API once you understand the basic usage model.

Developers building payment systems in Go should use this library. It suits projects ranging from simple payment processing to complex multi-account platforms using Stripe Connect. The library offers two primary usage patterns: the newer stripe.Client approach, which is the recommended pattern for accessing all Stripe resources, and a legacy resource pattern that remains available but is marked for deprecation. The README indicates that the legacy client.API pattern is still supported but encourages migration to stripe.Client via a provided migration guide. The library supports Google AppEngine environments through per-request client creation when the default HTTP client is unavailable.

Development activity shows consistent maintenance with regular updates to support current Go language versions. The project maintains a clear language version support policy aligned with Go's own support windows. The team provides multiple channels for developer engagement, including a dedicated Discord server for live discussion with Stripe engineers. Documentation is comprehensive, with API examples and detailed Go reference documentation readily available. The library includes features like automatic retries and access to raw API responses through the LastResponse property on resources, supporting both simple use cases and advanced debugging scenarios.
