## Introduction Laravel Cashier provides an expressive, fluent interface to [Stripe's](https://stripe.com) subscription billing services. It handles almost all of the boilerplate subscription billing code you are dreading writing. In addition to basic subscription management, Cashier can handle coupons, swapping subscription, subscription "quantities", cancellation grace periods, and even generate invoice PDFs. ## Official Documentation Documentation for Cashier can be found on the [Laravel website](https://laravel.com/docs/billing). ## Running Cashier's Tests You will need to set the Stripe **testing** secret environment variable in a custom `phpunit.xml` file in order to run the Cashier tests. Copy the default file using `cp phpunit.xml.dist phpunit.xml` and add the following line below the `STRIPE_MODEL` environment variable in your new `phpunit.xml` file: Please note that due to the fact that actual API requests against Stripe are being made, these tests take a few minutes to run. ## Contributing Thank you for considering contributing to the Cashier.
