If you need to create a Stripe token for testing. Do this.
Stripe::Token.create(
:card => {
:number => "4242424242424242",
:exp_month => 9,
:exp_year => 2017,
:cvc => "314"
},
)
Will give you a token just like you'd get from Stripe Checkout.
Note - a token can only be used once. You'll have to regenerate if using again.
I recommending generating once - recording all requests to VCR.
