Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Stripe\Error\InvalidRequest' with message 
    'Amount must be at least 50 cents' in /stripe-php/lib/ApiRequestor.php:102 
     from API request 'req_7w4X4j80cfWZoS'

#5 /form_section.php(81): 
          Stripe\Charge::create(Array)
#6 {main} thrown in stripe-php/lib/ApiRequestor.php on line 102

Please suggest how we can fix it

Answer 1

You created the charge with amount=1. As the error message explicitly says, the minimum amount is 50 cents. All amounts in Stripe's API are in cents, so amount must be at least 50 when creating a charge.

Answer 2

If you want to charge $1 you must set amount=100 as stripe uses cents.
