Hi 👋

I'm not sure that approach would work. I am having trouble understanding how you would implement that.

#

Would you create your own Payment Intents directly on your Stripe Account?

#

Also I don't know that we have support for visionOS. Would that be a web-based application or mobile?

#

Mobile, Shopify doesn't have support for visionOS yet as well. Devs have been using iOS docs and SDKs for now.

#

Yeah, just wondering if I can use Stripe as the payment provider while still using Shopify on the backend via Storefront API for the visionOS app

silent tundra
#

As for the Stripe/Shopify issue, I cannot provide advice for that.

#

We focus on specific problems developers have coding integrations with Stripe APIs so I'm not familiar with any sort of conflict or violation of Terms of Service that might be involved.

#

Gotcha, thanks for providing the iOS docs

#

Do you happen to know if I'm only using Apple Pay in the app, do I even need a payment provider?

Hello! I'm taking over and catching up...

true niche
#

sounds good!

charred pond
#

What you're describing won't work, unfortunately. You can't use Stripe just for the Apple Pay piece while still using Shopify payments. You can use Apple Pay directly with Stripe, but Shopify wouldn't be involved in those transactions at all.

true niche
#

Gotcha, so can I use Stripe strictly for payments while using Shopify Storefront API. So visionOS app, use Shopify Storefront API on the backend, ecomm on the frontend, Apple Pay + Stripe for payment only, order processing, inventory adjustment, etc is handled by Shopify Storefront API?

#

Sorry, I know this is a loaded question but to be honest Shopify dev platofrm really sucks

charred pond
#

I don't know anything about the Shopify Storefront API, but I highly doubt it could be used with the Apple Pay payments made directly with Stripe.

#

The Apple Pay payments would need to be 100% separate from all of the Shopify stuff at every layer. You would need to build out the Stripe payments integration entirely separately.

true niche
#

yeah :/ not sure they would talk to each other

charred pond
#

I very much doubt they would. I can't say for certain, but I can say I would be very surprised if they did.

true niche
#

that's what I was thinking

#

thanks for your help!

#

sorry, last question

#

if I'm only using Apple Pay in the visionOS app, do I even need a payment provider?

#

OR only using Apple Pay in a iOS mobile app do I need a payment provider?

charred pond
#

What do you mean by "payment provider"? I want to make sure we're on the same page, and that term could mean several different things.

true niche
#

oh! sure, if I want to integrate Apple Pay as the only payment method in a iOS or visionOS app, do I need to use a service such as Stripe or Shopify Payments to do that or does Apple at that point do all the lifting?

charred pond
#

Ah. Yes, you need a payment provider like Stripe or Shopify in that case. If you were doing in-app purchases that would be handled by Apple, but for non-in-app purchases you need a payment provider of some kind to process the transaction.

Gotcha! thank you!
