Hello 👋 To clarify, are you asking how to take payments in general with .NET + the server-side flow? Or is this specifically how to chip transactions work API-wise?
split ocean
A little of both - a) which reader(s) will work with .NET / API. I'm not overly worried with the how the chip transactions work vs swipe (i'm assuming that's going to spelled out in docs), but more so can I do what i'm needing to do, and any kind of code examples / etc.
The gotcha here is this app will be distributed to several locations / etc, so my goal is to have each customer enter their own stripe keys into the app to use / connect to process the payments

Gotcha, our .NET library definitely works with our server-driven Terminal flow. We have docs showing the code for this here if you have not seen them yet: https://stripe.com/docs/terminal/payments/connect-reader?terminal-sdk-platform=server-driven&reader-type=simulated
Can you tell me more about the purpose of the separate Stripe keys? Have you considered using Stripe Connect here? That could make it easier for you to make these calls on behalf of your customers and collect fees from them

I don't care about collecting fees - it's more of each customer being able to handle their own stuff
basically, my client sells the solution to the customers
the they handle it all from there. If we HAVE to go through connect to do it, we can look at it, but if we can allow them to set it all up on their own accounts, that would be the preferred method

Stripe Connect would allow for that, you can be a connect platform where each user has their own full Stripe account https://stripe.com/docs/connect/standard-accounts
I think we have terminal + connect specific docs, looking for them now. But basically you would be able to make API calls on behalf of their account using just your API key and their account ID

ooh - ok. I'll look at that option as well
is there an ETA on the S700, or is that overkill for literally what is trying to be a glorified card reader?
and/or is the WisePOS E the go-to for this type of setup?

I don't personally know the ETA on the S700 but our support team may have better info if you ask them https://support.stripe.com/?contact=true

Yes WisePOS E is the only existing terminal that supports our server-driven terminal flow as far as I know
split ocean
got it. I appreciate the info here
