Posted to A free, open source e-commerce platform for static websites, in reply to Joacim Nilsson , Aug 29, 2015 Posted to A Free, Self-Hosted Backend for Stripe Checkout, in reply to David Kavanagh , Jan 28, 2015 A few things:
- To clarify, Stripe doesn't provide an end-to-end solution for the browser. You need your own server. This one integrates easily with the official Stripe front end.
- I think there's a HUGE difference between using Heroku Button and developing/deploying your own web application. The goal is to bring this technology into the realm of non-experts, e.g. front end developers and designers. Heroku is that easy these days.
- As somebody who works in this space, I don't want to develop many separate payment services. This app covers a lot of use cases.
Posted to Best E-Commerce Solutions for Static Site?, in reply to Tyler Wanlass , Jan 26, 2015 I released an open source server designed to solve this problem. It will run for free on Heroku: https://json.expert/a-free-self-hosted-backend-for-stripe-checkout/
Posted to A Free, Self-Hosted Backend for Stripe Checkout, in reply to Joe Turner , Jan 25, 2015 This is meant to be the simplest approach possible, allowing you to process transactions manually or collect donations.
If you were doing 100s of transactions per day or automating fulfillment, it would be more appropriate to invest in a full-featured back end.

It's not. The only data exchanged between browser and server is an ID and a Stripe token for the credit card charge. The server pulls the price from a public JSON document, served over HTTPS. HTTPS is required so you don't get man-in-the-middled--I tried to enforce that as much as possible.
