gatsby-starter-medusa VS Stripe

gatsby new medusa-gatsby https://github.com/medusajs/gatsby-starter-medusa

This tutorial uses the Gatsby starter to test the wishlist functionality added to the Medusa server. However, you can still follow along using a different storefront framework.

Last month, our team at Medusa built a new advanced Next.js storefront that can be used with a Medusa server. If interested in other Medusa starters, feel free to check out Medusa.Express or our Gatsby starter.

In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to add live-chat functionality to your ecommerce store using Medusa, Tidio live chat, and Gatsby Storefront.

Medusa provides two starter storefronts, one built using Next.js and one using Gatsby. You can also build your own storefront by interacting with the REST APIs.

The difficult part is for the modification of store frontend. I use Medusa Gatsby Starter to my store frontend. However, there are many incompatible with my above modification of backend.

git clone https://github.com/medusajs/gatsby-starter-medusa.git storefront

This creates a Gatsby website using the already-existing Medusa Gatsby starter.

It gives you full flexibility to build any type of frontend(s) you may prefer - Medusa has starters in Next.js or Gatsby to set up a high-performing storefront out-of-the-box so you have a good starting point before starting to customize it to your needs. You can check out a demo of the starer here.

GatsbyJS (much more feature-rich V2 coming soon)

First let's introduce the tool: Sorbet is a gem developed by Stripe that aims to bring type notation syntax and type checking support for the Ruby ecosystem by utilizing the "Gradual typing" philosophy, it also provide type generation from YARD comments via the tapioca gem, allowing to grow alongside the already built Ruby codebase.

The problem is stripe.com charges 4.6% total in fees. Wise charges 1.89%.

For me Stripe is the peak for a product/company website:

I heard some people admire https://linear.app/ but I don't see the appeal myself

Majority of websites often fall into one of two categories:

1. Traditional off the shelf template

2. Look cool but fail when it comes to usability and robustness (those featured on awwwards)

You could have the best service in the world, but if you have a payment gateway that leaves people feeling uncomfortable, you'll lose them. Not only that, but you have PCI compliance you would need to deal with and a slew of other things that are handled for you with a payment vendor like Stripe, Square, or PayPal.

Your payment and data is processed safely through Stripe. We are verified and also accept Paypal.

First you'll want to go to Stripe's website and setup an account. Then install Stripe with pip install stripe. In this example I'm using Flask for the backend and React for the frontend. The website is an e-commerce page for buying and selling skateboards. Now create some models for the product to sell and the receipts then run flask db init, flask db migrate, and flask db upgrade to create the database. My models look like so:

Kick uses a Payment Processor called Stripe

I did that with Vue and Laravel a few times. If you need Stripe data linked to a user account your best bet is Laravel Cashier. Otherwise you'll have to use the PHP SDK.

stripe allows issuing cards, similar to how cash app, Venmo and other payment platforms issues cards to users. I’ve personally never issued a card but the documentation is there and should be simple!

A verified Stripe account is one that has been examined and certified by Stripe as belonging to a real company. This indicates that Stripe has received all necessary information and documentation from the account holder and that Stripe has confirmed that the account is actually owned and run by an authorized company.
