Hello! Are you a developer who wants to build this using custom code, or are you looking for an off-the-shelf solution?
What could be the steps to follow, I'm a programmer but I don't want to start having to create my own APIs just to sell some products
What I want is to be able to create a small online store platform, very sensible using everything that Stripe has, from registering products (for now I have no problem with creating everything by hand, what I don't want is to take too long to start selling)
The fastest way to get started would be with Checkout: https://stripe.com/docs/payments/checkout
You can add Products and Prices inside Stripe, but the cart functionality would have to be something you build on your end.
No-code components are for selling product to product, right? It doesn't have something like a built-in cart from what you're telling me
Let me tell you a little bit more because I do want to launch this project as quickly as possible
I want to sell paintings, practically the price only depends on the size of the painting, so I won't have many products, they will be based on sizes. So someone selects 1 box and they see the price, the price will be associated with a Stripe product. Either I register my products by hand in the dashboard or with your API directly from my web project without creating another API (this is possible, right?)

It sounds like you want more of a complete solution that Stripe provides off-the-shelf. I recommend you look at third-party solutions that are more complete. Stripe is more for low-level components you use to build a system, but it sounds like you want the system right off the bat.
I really know that Stripe serves me well for what I want, here the thing is that I want to start selling as fast as possible while I am developing my software. Just as you say, at a low level. I don't want to use things like Shopify, Tiendanube, or others. I don't want to use them for anything or a starter
Okay, have a look at the Checkout docs I linked to above. That's going to be the fastest way to get started with Stripe for your use case.
By registering the products by hand, can I then consume them with your API to display them on my page? Or is it better for my page to take care of the product information?
I also want to know, once someone buys something, how would I get the notification, or information about the orders I have to deliver?
You can retrieve Products and Prices in Stripe using the API and display them on your page.
You can also take care of that on your end. It really depends on what works best for you.
Typically when someone purchases something your server is notified via webhooks: https://stripe.com/docs/payments/handling-payment-events
I've already come up with something, to make it easier. I'll explain, but I'll share with you a screenshot of my app
My app doesn't have a backend for now, but I want it to be connected to Stripe as an admin or back-office
I save a product in the local database, can I also save the product directly to Stripe products as if that were my product backend?
What do you mean?
What if I use my app to register products in Stripe using their APIs? and then upload these to my own website where those products are displayed and sold
I was writing to you in a hurry because I have to go out to do something, when I come back, I'll explain it well, with more details or even with diagrams or images goes. For now, thank you
