hi! is your business PCI certified to handle raw credit card PANs? https://stripe.com/docs/security/guide#validating-pci-compliance

If not then no, you can't integrate that way directly. Depends what you're looking for(I don't know what Gumroad is)

I'll let Rubeus know your kind words

Thanks! I didn't have the chance

Basically Gumroad is a site to sell digital assets. After payment the link or file is sent to Email.

I'm not certified. It's not planned as business. Just for myself and some friends, plus to play around w/ payments. As some of the products I sell are shared links/ files.

[cobalt flax]

makes sense. You don't need to have the customer's actual credit card details then, you can just use a normal Stripe payments integration!

[rigid yoke]

Okay, is there a good documentation I can refer to? As in the whole flow of redirecting etc.

[cobalt flax]

yep, https://stripe.com/docs/payments/accept-a-payment

Plus, what my problem is, that I do not charge for a product instance on my Stripe dashboard.

The list of products is stored on my end as the users use my dashboard.

Or can I use the Stripe API instead to create products for the customers (call the Stripe API when they create one on my dashboard) and then store the product_id on my DB? @cobalt flax

(One thing I wondered too: Is the SDK used more safely on backend or direct API requests using fetch? Never where sure abt that)

[cobalt flax]

there's no requirement to use Stripe Products if you don't want to, there are multiple ways to integrate. And yes, you could also call the API and create Products to mirror what you have in your own database, that's all possible.

[cobalt flax]

well there's a backend and a frontend component to using Stripe, in general you use our backend SDKs in your backend code to communicate with the API, and our frontend stripe.js library in frontend code to accept payment details

[rigid yoke]

Okay, thanks.
