Integrating Stripe Into Your Rails App
About a month ago, I gave a technical talk at The Flatiron School along with Zack Sheppard and Daniel Sullivan about Stripe. Stripe is a really powerful and simplified way to implement a payments infrastructure and checkout functionality into your application. In addition to it being easy to add payment forms through Stripe Checkout, it’s also completely secure. They have fraud protection, PCI Service Provider Level 1 certification, and optional two-factor authentication. Even if someone does manage to hack into your application, you’re never actually storing any of your customer’s credit card information. I could go on and on, but that would probably ruin the whole point of showing you the video, right? Take a look below for our presentation on why Stripe is useful, and how we integrated it into Laser Spirit – a Rails engine we created as a simplified e-commerce platform to mount onto your host application, a la Shopify or Spree.
