# Direct

Use this method if you already get a credit card details somehow, and you just have to send them to Stripe.

### config.php

We have to only add the gateway factory. All the rest remain the same:

```php
<?php
//config.php

use Payum\Core\PayumBuilder;
use Payum\Core\Payum;

/** @var Payum $payum */
$payum = (new PayumBuilder())
    ->addGateway('gatewayName', [
        'factory' => 'stripe_checkout',
        'publishable_key' => 'EDIT IT',
        'secret_key' => 'EDIT IT'
    ])

    ->getPayum()
;
```

### prepare.php

Do next:

```php
<?php
// prepare.php

use Payum\Core\Model\CreditCard;

// ...

/** @var \Payum\Core\Model\Payment $payment */

$card = new CreditCard();
$card->setNumber('4111111111111111');
$card->setExpireAt(new \DateTime('2018-10-10'));
$card->setSecurityCode(123);

$payment->setCreditCard($card);
```

Here you have to modify a `gatewayName` value. Set it to `stripe`. And create and populate a credit card object. The rest remain the same as described in basic [get it started](/v2/get-it-started.md) documentation.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.payum.dev/v2/stripe/direct.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
