I want to test stripe webhooks in my local windows dev machine, stripe docs mention stripe CLI as the best /easier way to test webhooks endpoints and sending fake events, I followed the docs to down load stripe CLI into my windows machine, I extracted the executable into my desktop but now I don't know how to properly excute commands in my cmd.

stripe.exe in my desktop, I first tried just simply clicking it, command prompt opened and showed message bellow, after a few seconds the command prompt closes.

This is a command line tool.

You need to open cmd.exe and run it from there.

After that I tried opening a CMD window and drag and dropping stripe.exe into the tab, I get the following list of commands:

C:\Users\GABRIEL>C:\Users\GABRIEL\Desktop\stripe.exe
The official command-line tool to interact with Stripe.

Before using the CLI, you'll need to login:

  $ stripe login

If you're working on multiple projects, you can run the login command with the
--project-name flag:

  $ stripe login --project-name rocket-rides

Usage:
  stripe [command]

Webhook commands:
  listen                        Listen for webhook events

as you see I can't type any command, something like

stripe login

I'm left with no option to do anything with stripe cli in cmd.

To add the path of the stripe.exe file to your PATH environment variable on Windows, follow these steps:

Press the Windows key + R to open the Run dialog box.

Type "sysdm.cpl" in the Run dialog box and press Enter. This will open the System Properties window.

In the System Properties window, click on the "Advanced" tab.

Click on the "Environment Variables" button. This will open the Environment Variables window.

In the Environment Variables window, under the "System variables" section, scroll down and locate the "Path" variable. Select it and click on the "Edit" button.

In the Edit Environment Variable window, click on the "New" button to add a new entry.

Enter the full path to the directory where you have the stripe.exe file located. For example, if the stripe.exe file is in C:\Users\YourUsername\Desktop\the folder where stripe.exe is located, you would add 'C:\Users\YourUsername\Desktop\thefolderwherestripe.exeislocated' as a new entry.

Click "OK" to close all the windows.

Might not be needed but it is better to restart your computer

After restarting you should be able to access stripe cli globally, try stripe -v in cmd

#Please Note: a lot of people are adding the path like so

this is the wrong way: C:\Users\YourUsername\Desktop\foldername\stripe.exe

this is the correct way: C:\Users\YourUsername\Desktop\stripefolder

You need to cd into the folder where you have stored stripe.exe. In your case that's:

C:\Users\GABRIEL> cd Desktop

Then you simply run stripe commands from there and it'll work. For instance:

C:\Users\GABRIEL\Desktop> stripe --help

OR

C:\Users\GABRIEL\Desktop> stripe login

".\stripe login" works not other in windows i faced lots of issues by using stripe login , where that will not work after 100 attempts i tried .\stripe login and it worked finally

we can use directly the file to run stripe login like this

plz go to the folder where you stored the stripe.exe file then open terminal there and just type .\stripe.exe login

Using system variables

I know this is an old question, but i wanted to post this fairly simple answer which is useful also later on while bumping into these kind of problems.

I also do think the other answers are good options when using it once, but when using stripe commands consistently here is my solution:

1. Create a new folder at a place where you can access it easily for instance in your documents folder. I call my folder custom-commands you can call it however you want.

2. Create a new notepad file inside the folder and paste the following code in it:

@echo off

set cwd=%cd%
set stripePath=C:\Path\To\Stripe\Location
cd /d %stripePath% && stripe %*
cd /d %cwd%

set cwd=
set stripePath=

Note the stripePath needs to be set to where your stripe.exe is located

This scripts tells your cmd where stripe is located.

3. In the windows search function search system variables, open the app you will be prompted with a screen that looks like this:

4. Click system variables and then edit the user path:

5. Add a new path:

6. The path needs to be the path to your newly created folder mine is called: custom-commands.

7. You might need to restart your computer and then just test it out by typing stripe in a cmd.

That's it! this also has one major benefit, because whenever you need something like this again you only have to create the .bat file and add your own script!

Steps:

• download the zip file
• extract to get the .exe inside it
• open cmd
• locate the file path
• try stripe login

If you are getting an error that says: "The command stripe was not found, but does exist in the current location. If you trust this command, instead type: ".\stripe"."

Then use:

C:stripe_x_windows_64> .\stripe login
