The Stripe API

The Stripe API allows developers to harness the functionality of Stripe, the online payment processing platform. With the Stripe API, users can send invoices, accept payments, and manage account information and subscription billing.

Requirements to Implement:

The Stripe API is robust – best suited for someone with development experience. Thanks to great documentation, it takes an experienced developer a few hours to integrate Stripe into a site. Stripe also has official libraries for different programming languages, including Ruby, Python, PHP, Java, Node, Go, .NET and iOS and Android devices. You can learn more about those here: https://stripe.com/docs/libraries.

Cost:

To use the Stripe API, you’ll need to have a Stripe Account. There are three different account tiers: Standard, Express, and Custom, which you can learn more about here -https://stripe.com/connect/account-types.

Limitations:

The Stripe API does have safeguards in place that limit the number of requests an API can receive in any given minute. You can learn more about Stripe’s limits here: https://stripe.com/docs/rate-limits

Apart from the facts that it is hassle-free for programmers, business owners and customers, it also eliminates the need for gateway and merchant account. With Stripe you can start online selling on a dime,” - Yevheniia Korotia, Hackernoon
