Hi there 👋 is there a question that you have pertaining to that?
wide lily
hi
My app is made in flutter, I've created no APIs. My app is used to consult, register products, consult them, generate contingencies, it is practically an admin but now it does not consume any API of any kind. 1) Can I have my Flutter app register products in Stripe directly with its API? 2) Can I upload the products registered to Stripe using their API? 3) It occurs to me that since my app is already listed, I can simply generate the Stripe payment link and that link be shared from the app. Note: I would have to create the Quotes API or the Shopping Carts, right?

In my app you can register businesses, each business I would like to be associated with a Stripe Connect account so that that account can sell my products and take their commission or also, for me to take the commission for sales

- Can I have my Flutter app register products in Stripe directly with its API?
- Who's, or which, API are you referring to here? The Stripe one, like this one that lets you create Products?
https://stripe.com/docs/api/products/create
- Can I upload the products registered to Stripe using their API?
- Who's, or which, API are you referring to here? What do you mean by upload?
- It occurs to me that since my app is already listed, I can simply generate the Stripe payment link and that link be shared from the app. Note: I would have to create the Quotes API or the Shopping Carts, right?
- I don't understand this question. What app, what do you mean listed?

For now I want to use all the APIs that you have available, I don't want to use my own APIs or create my own APIs other than those that are strictly necessary
Uploading would be to register my products with Stripe using the Stripe API without me having to create an API for products
rocky cypress
What do you mean by "having to create an API for products"? Did you look at the Stripe API that I linked for creating Product objects? Is what you're calling a product the same thing that our API is referring to when it says Product?
wide lily
That's right, I mean the same thing. What I don't want is to waste time creating what you already have in your backend just to be able to show and sell products, services, subscriptions etc
rocky cypress
Okay, so what problems are you running into leveraging our APIs?
Sorry, the questions have been vague and I'm not sure I'm grasping what you've been asking.
wide lily
Well, let's take it one step at a time. I can use my app to register products using its product API, right?
rocky cypress
We have an API for that, are you able to call it from your app as you're expecting?
wide lily
That's exactly what I want to know dude, if I can use your API directly from the Flutter SDK using HTTP REQUEST, or if I have to create my own server to use your API
rocky cypress
Let me level set, I know nothing about Flutter other than it's not something we have a first party library for, so a lot of the things you're describing are not things I'm familiar with or have context on. I don't know what you can or can't do from within your Flutter project.
But, let me take a step back to discuss some basics of our API as it seems those may block what you want to do. You authenticate against the Stripe API using a secret key, that secret permits full access to your Stripe account:
https://stripe.com/docs/api/authentication
So if a Flutter app is something that gets built and deployed to your users, you should not be calling the Stripe API from that as you do not want to embed your secret key in something that is distributed. Those secret keys should only be used from a secure server that you control.
