Stripe setup in laravel

Question

I am looking to give my users the option of entering a cc at the time of sign up using Stripe. I am getting the error:

ErrorException
Undefined index: stripeToken

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

The Controller:

public function getStripe()
    {

        // get the contractor
    $arrPageData['contractor'] = Contractor::find($this->userID);   

    // show the cc form and pass the contractor
    return View::make('contractors.stripe', $arrPageData);
    }

public function postStripe()
    {
        //posting logic goes here.
        Stripe::setApiKey("sk_test_xxxx");

        // Get the credit card details submitted by the form
        $token = $_POST['stripeToken'];
        $email = Input::get('email');

        // Create a Stripe Record

        $stripe = new Stripe;
        $stripe->card = $token;
        $stripe->email = $email;
        $stripe->save();

    }

Contractor Model:

  function stripes() {
    return $this->hasOne('Stripe');
}

Stripe Model:

 public function contractor() {
    return $this->belongsTo('Contractor', 'contractor_id');
}

And my view file with the form:

//**This is edited to work now**
<script type="text/javascript">
// This identifies your website in the createToken call below
Stripe.setPublishableKey('pk_test_xxxx');

var stripeResponseHandler = function(status, response) {
  var $form = $('#payment-form');

  if (response.error) {
    // Show the errors on the form
    $form.find('.payment-errors').text(response.error.message);
    $form.find('button').prop('disabled', false);
  } else {
    // token contains id, last4, and card type
    var token = response.id;
    // Insert the token into the form so it gets submitted to the server
    $form.append($('<input type="hidden" name="stripeToken" />').val(token));
    // and re-submit
    $form.get(0).submit();
  }
};

jQuery(function($) {
  $('#payment-form').submit(function(e) {
    var $form = $(this);

    // Disable the submit button to prevent repeated clicks
    $form.find('button').prop('disabled', true);

    Stripe.card.createToken($form, stripeResponseHandler);

    // Prevent the form from submitting with the default action
    return false;
  });
});
 </script>

<form action="" method="POST" id="payment-form">
                      <span class="payment-errors"></span>

                      <div class="form-row">
                          <input type="text" size="20" placeholder="Card Number" data-stripe="number"/>
                      </div>

                      <div class="form-row">
                          <input type="text" size="4" placeholder="CVC" data-stripe="cvc"/>
                      </div>

                      <div class="form-row">
                        <input type="text" size="2" placeholder="Expiration Month (MM)" data-stripe="exp-month"/>
                        <span> / </span>
                        <input type="text" size="4" placeholder="Expiration Year (YYYY)" data-stripe="exp-year"/>
                        <input type="hidden" name="email"  value="{{$contractor->email}}" />
                      </div>

                      <input type="submit" class="btn btn-primary"/>
                    </form>

I must be missing a step. I though the form submittal was handled by the js file and all I need to do was record the token in my database.

The following is simple stripe test. You can check to make sure it work first. Seem be you missing "customer" or "source".

try {
                $charge = Stripe::charges()->create([
                    // 'customer'       => 'cus_4EBumIjyaKooft',
                    'currency'      => 'USD',
                    'amount'        => $request['amount'],
                    "source"        => $request['token'],
                    "description" => "Example charge"
                ]);

                return response()->json([
                            'status' => true,
                            'data'   => $charge['id']
                        ]);
            } catch (Exception $e) {
                return response()->json([
                        'status' => false,
                        'data'   => "charges stripe fail!"
                    ]);
            }

I can't see where you post the stripeToken?

$token = $_POST['stripeToken'];

The error message you are getting indicate that stripeToken doesn't exist.
