Heroku Django Deploy Stripe Issue - No module named 'stripe'

Question

When I run my app locally, everything works, but when I try to deploy to Heroku, I get this error:

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'stripe'

I've read some other answers to similar issues and it seems like maybe my virtual environment is running a different version of Python than the one on Heroku, or something along those lines?

My Python version is 3.6.5

I do have a runtime.txt file with the following in it, which I thought was setting the python version for my Heroku app:

python-3.6.5

I read this SO thread, but I didn't really understand the part about the PYTHONPATH - Importing Stripe into Django - NameError

If anyone can help steer me in the right direction or has an idea of what I could try, I'd really appreciate it!

Thanks!

Add stripe to requirements.txt file in the root of your repository. You can read more about it here .
