💳 Primer Example Backend

This project is a very simple companion backend to the example apps of Primer Universal Checkout:

This server uses Node as the runtime and Fastify as the HTTP server framework.

This project uses Node v16 to be compatible with Glitch but we encourage you to use a more recent version of Node.

🚀 Get started

A Primer sandbox account 👤
An API key for your Sandbox 🔑
You can grab your API key or create a new one from the Primer Dashboard.

We recommend using Glitch to quickly spin up a new instance of your server for free.

First, click on this button to open the project in Glitch and start the server.
It may take a moment to start.
On Glitch, open the file .env.
Set the environment variable PRIMER_API_KEY to your Primer sandbox API key.
On Glitch, grab the URL of your Glitch instance.
It should look like https://xxx-yyy-zzz.glitch.me.
Paste your Glitch instance URL in the example project.
