Stripe: Cannot read property 'token' of undefined at object

I am trying to add Stripe payments inside of my iOS application with node.js and firebase.

As of now, my main goal is to create a stripe customer when a user creates an account with my application.

I am trying to follow these instructions but I am having issues.

https://www.iosapptemplates.com/blog/ios-development/stripe-firebase-swift

const logging = require('@google-cloud/logging');
const stripe = require('stripe')(functions.config().stripe.token);
const currency = functions.config().stripe.currency || 'USD';

exports.createStripeCustomer = functions.auth.user().onCreate((user) => {
return stripe.customers.create({
email: user.email,
}).then((customer) => {
return admin.database().ref(`/stripe_customers/${user.uid}/customer_id`).set(customer.id);
});
});

When I try to run firebase deploy --only functions inside of my terminal, I am hit with

Error: Error occurred while parsing your function triggers.

TypeError: Cannot read property 'token' of undefined

Am I supposed to define token? I assumed it was an autocomplete value associated with stripe?

EDIT to show package.json

"description": "Cloud Functions for Firebase",
"scripts": {
"serve": "firebase emulators:start --only functions",
"shell": "firebase functions:shell",
"start": "npm run shell",

"firebase-functions": "^3.6.1"

},

},

}

token in this instance is probably a bit poorly named, what you actually pass into that function is a Stripe API key.

You'll want to first grab your API keys from the Stripe dashboard directly, then you'll want to set your firebase config to have that API key set:

firebase functions:config:set stripe.token=<YOUR STRIPE SECRET KEY>

I've set the parameter to be called token so your index.js file doesn't need any amendments, however it would be better named as stripe.secret or stripe.apiKey.
