Magento 2 uses various technologies and composer is one of them ,composer is used to manage dependency in the project the best way to add any external library without going into the code is composer, Magento have a composer.json file in its root. For adding stripe library in the vendor folder ,you just need to run this command from the command line

For This Command You Must Install Composer On Your Server ,If You Are Not Familiar With Composer Go Through This Link First : https://Getcomposer.Org/Doc/00-Intro.Md after installing the composer, goto your magento 2 root folder and run below command from the terminal :

composer require stripe/stripe-php

In the above command “stripe/stripe-php” is the package name you can found this on packagist .

after executing the above command the latest version of stripe library will be installed on your magento 2 extension and it will be autoloaded in your project .You can found the changes on two places in the magento first in the composer.json file in the magento 2 root: and the second you will find its folder in magento 2 vendor folder in the root:

Let me know if you have any confusion.
