Hi there

#

Hello there 🙂

maiden plinth Jun 28, 2023, 9:04 PM

#

So yeah we still recommend initializing Stripe.JS on your site for fraud prevention

vital hedge Jun 28, 2023, 9:05 PM

#

Got you, thanks!

maiden plinth Jun 28, 2023, 9:05 PM

#

Sure!

vital hedge Jun 28, 2023, 9:05 PM

#

so const stripe = await stripePromise; is not needed

#

No sorry. You do want that.

#

We discuss this here: https://stripe.com/docs/stripe-js/react#elements-provider

#

That async loads the Stripe.JS script

#

Which contains fraud detection signals

#

Even if you aren't actually using stripe in your code after you have initialized it

#

Got you, thanks, what if I need to use stripe on the front end

#

such as pulling some price data

fluid timber Jun 28, 2023, 9:12 PM

#

Stripe.js doesn't really know anything about price data and can't pull that kind of stuff

#

all of that is done on your server with your secret API key instead
