Hello 👋
No, you can't integrate terminal without using the SDK.

Is there a specific reason you don't want to use the SDK?

wet otter Oct 10, 2023, 1:55 PM

#

Yes. My app will be using with physical reader as well as ios and android device.

#

But that doesn't clarify why you're not wanting to use the SDK?

wet otter Oct 10, 2023, 1:57 PM

#

It says on the documentation note.

What does it say? What documentation?
Can you provide more information?

Server-driven integrations use the Stripe API instead of a Terminal SDK to connect to WisePOS E or Stripe Reader S700 smart readers and collect in-person payments.

#

Yes, Server-Driven integration is a server-side SDK that uses API calls instead of client-side Terminal SDKs to connect to readers and process payments.

You said you don't want to use any SDKs. You'd still need to use Stripe server-side SDK to work with Server-Driven integration

wet otter Oct 10, 2023, 2:06 PM

#

There is no such thing mentioned that Server-driven integration is a server side SDK. What I know about SDK is that it is a software development kit means an already-built application package. Correct Me If I said anything wrong.

#

The API calls you make to Stripe from your backend relies on the functions/methods from the Stripe server-side SDK
https://stripe.com/docs/terminal/designing-integration?integration-country=US&platform=server-driven#wpe-architecture

#

Taking a step back, is the server-driven implementation what you're looking for?

wet otter Oct 10, 2023, 2:10 PM

#

Yes.

#

And I'm using Laravel and Vue for the application.

#

Is there any vue-friendly Javascript SDK you know?

left canyon Oct 10, 2023, 2:15 PM

#

Not sure what you mean by vue-friendly exactly.
The Terminal Javascript SDK we have is written in vanilla JS I think so should work fine with any JS frameworks

wet otter Oct 10, 2023, 2:23 PM

#

I've been tinkering with Javascript SDK and have been trying to implement it with Vue.

#

is it okay to share some overview of the app here?

left canyon Oct 10, 2023, 2:24 PM

#

Sure

wet otter Oct 10, 2023, 2:30 PM

#

basically, it was primarily a simple web application. Its main objective is a nonprofit donation app. The app uses Stripe as a payment gateway. and use the terminal reader for that. So that people can donate money via our app through stripe terminal reader.

#

Now instead of using the terminal reader, we want to use the Android or IOS device tap-to-pay option through our app.

left canyon Oct 10, 2023, 2:35 PM

#

Tap to Pay can't be used with Server-Driven Integration

#

Tap to Pay is only supported with iOS/Android/ReactNative SDKs

wet otter Oct 10, 2023, 2:40 PM

#

could you please explain why it's not possible?

left canyon Oct 10, 2023, 2:41 PM

#

Technical limitations from Google and Apple
Some Device level APIs are only available with native SDKs

#

Since React Native uses Native SDKs underneath it can support both

wet otter Oct 10, 2023, 2:50 PM

#

So if I want to use the tap-to-pay option and also want to use it in a web application what would be the best option?
