Django and Stripe MultiValueDictKeyError at /checkout/ "'stripeToken'"

    views.py
    from django.conf import settings
    from django.shortcuts import render
    from django.contrib.auth.decorators import login_required
    import stripe


    stripe.api_key = settings.STRIPE_SECRET_KEY

    # Create your views here.
    @login_required
    def checkout(request):
        publishKey = settings.STRIPE_PUBLISHABLE_KEY
        if request.method == 'POST':
            token = request.POST['stripeToken']
                try:
                stripe.Charge.create(
                    amount=1000,
                    currency="usd",
                    card=token,


                    description="Charge for [email protected]"
    )
            except stripe.CardError:
                # The card has been declined
                pass
            # Create the charge on Stripe's servers - this will charge the user's card

        context = {'publishKey': publishKey

                    }
        template = 'checkout.html'
        return render(request, template, context)



When i run my views.py gives me this error -    MultiValueDictKeyError at /checkout/
"'stripeToken'"

Refresh your publishable and secret api keys, delete all test data then try apply print the token on your terminal to see if its actually coming through :

if 'stripeToken' in request.POST:   
        print(request.POST['stripeToken'])

I had the same problem and the cause of the problem was in checkout.html. I was using this

 Stripe.setPublishableKey({{ publishkey }});

Instead of 

Stripe.setPublishableKey('{{ publishkey }}');

Correcting it solved the error for me

>>> from django.utils.datastructures import MultiValueDict as MVD
>>> data = MVD({'name': ['John'], 'email': ['[email protected]']})
>>> data['name']
'John'
>>> data['email']
'[email protected]'

This class [MultiValueDict] exists to solve the irritating problem raised by cgi.parse_qs, which returns a list for every key, even though most Web forms submit single name-value pairs.

cgi.parse_qs: Parse a query string given as a string argument (data of type application/x-www-form-urlencoded). Data are returned as a dictionary. The dictionary keys are the unique query variable names and the values are lists of values for each name.

Now with a non-existent key:

>>> data['apple']
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<console>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/Users/7stud/.virtualenvs/django186p34/lib/python3.4/site-packages/django/utils/datastructures.py", line 322, in __getitem__
    raise MultiValueDictKeyError(repr(key))
django.utils.datastructures.MultiValueDictKeyError: "'apple'"

See how the last line says ...MultiValueDictKeyError: "'apple'"? See how the key 'apple' doesn't exist in the MultiValueDict created in the django console above?

See how you wrote:

request.POST['stripeToken']

and you got a similar error?? request.POST is a MultiValueDict which contains the key/value pairs from the POST data. The error is saying that "stripeToken" is not a key in the MultiValueDict, which means there was no key/value pair in the POST data with the key 'stripeToken'.

If the data came from an html form, that means there was no form input element with its name attribute set to "stripeToken", e.g.

<input type="text" name="stripeToken">

Django raises this error when the requested key, stripeToken in this example, does not exist in request.POST. You may want to check your POST form data for your request.
