@eternal kiln Are you writing a plugin? Or using Connect? What's the context?

eternal kiln Nov 1, 2021, 8:47 PM

#

I am not using connect. Can you specify what you mean by "plugin"? Plugin to what?

#

I am integrating Stripe into the websites of our customers and each customer, of course, has his own Stripe account.

#

The method to create a paymentRequest requires the location of the stripe account, that's why I am asking.

#

I'm currently integrating the payment request buttons (Apple Pay, Google Pay).

Are you like a freelancer? Or are you sharing the code for all those websites?

eternal kiln Nov 1, 2021, 8:53 PM

#

We operate an Enterprise E-commerce software. No, I am not a freelancer.

#

Our software is not OnPrem.

#

the docs state:

country required string
The two-letter country code of your Stripe account (e.g., US).

But where can I retrieve it or do I need to maintain it manually and update it by hand?

verbal pawn Nov 1, 2021, 8:58 PM

#

I understand the doc, I'm trying to help you though. And for that I need to understand your integration. It seems, to me, like you host the code, have it common for everyone, but for some reason you collect every account's individual API keys. Is that the case?

eternal kiln Nov 1, 2021, 8:58 PM

#

Yes

#

However I don't understand what you mean by "host the code".

verbal pawn Nov 1, 2021, 8:59 PM

#

Where does the code run? Is it on every company's own servers? Is it on your own server as your company?

eternal kiln Nov 1, 2021, 8:59 PM

#

^as I said, no onprem

#

We operate our software in approx. 20+ data centers in 6 countries. All ISO27001, all PCI DSS compliant. Organisation included.

#

It is NOT ON PREMISE.

#

It's an Enterprise E-commerce software.

#

serverless multi-tenant environment with tenant-pooling.

verbal pawn Nov 1, 2021, 9:03 PM

#

I'm sorry but that's a lot of words I'm not sure I grasp if I'm candid

#

you put all caps "NOT ON PREMISE". I don't do enterprise software. So I'm not sure what that word means to you

#

I guess that means you host the code for your customers?

eternal kiln Nov 1, 2021, 9:04 PM

#

It means that no servers, as you'd understand them, are involved.

verbal pawn Nov 1, 2021, 9:04 PM

#

I mean, there's a server somewhere. You don't run code on your local machine right?

eternal kiln Nov 1, 2021, 9:05 PM

#

If you define a distributed architecture with separate compute and storage systems as "a server", I agree.

verbal pawn Nov 1, 2021, 9:06 PM

#

This is getting a bit nitpicky

#

so I'll side step the question after all

#

https://stripe.com/docs/api/accounts/retrieve call this and retrieve the account and look at the country property

eternal kiln Nov 1, 2021, 9:07 PM

#

Ok thanks. I thought that'd be for Connect only.

eternal kiln Nov 1, 2021, 9:07 PM

#

verbal pawn This is getting a bit nitpicky

The truth is, no one uses "classic servers" anymore. Not even Stripe if I understand the docs correctly.

#

an IBM z13 is not really "a server" as much as "a Discord server" has absolutely nothing to do with what would be defined as "a server" in the traditional sense.

#

If your CPUs are mounted in a different room than the NVMe storage, is that still a server?

agreed, but ultimately that's the work almost everyone uses to separate their front end and their back end. I did start by asking who hosts the code but you didn't like that wording

#

I still can not understand if you host the code. 99% sure you do, in which case you should absolutely be using Connect already.

eternal kiln Nov 1, 2021, 9:11 PM

#

Well, if you host binaries you're not hosting code, right?

eternal kiln Nov 1, 2021, 9:11 PM

Why should I be using Connect?

verbal pawn Nov 1, 2021, 9:12 PM

Okay, yeah, this is not working unfortunately. Let's ignore that question completely I think that's better!

#

Why should I be using Connect?
Because you are writing one application, used across businesses (your customers) and the code is shared. It should all flow through one unique platform, so that your integration is stabled and based on your own account's configuration (API version, webhooks, any beta feature, any rollout/breaking changes, etc.) instead of seen a separate Stripe accounts, each with their own configuration and API keys

Thanks, the call worked.

But how do I then allow my customers to operate as a platform and use Stripe Connect?

verbal pawn Nov 1, 2021, 9:18 PM

#

Ah in that specific case you can't. I did ask if you were using Stripe Connect earlier but you said no

eternal kiln Nov 1, 2021, 9:18 PM

#

I have not yet implemented it, but it's on the roadmap for Q1/22
