Stripe.Net VS stripe-android

In the previous article in this series, we examined how to integrate customer registration and onboarding for Stripe Connect accounts into an ASP.NET Core Razor Page application. To do this, we leveraged the Stripe .NET NuGet package which provides a convenient wrapper around the Stripe HTTP APIs. While Stripe does provide an abundance of functionality through API endpoints, there will be situations that require more than a typical request-response interaction.

I ran into Stripe's API rate limits while developing a revenue forecasting app[1] The metrics calculated requires retrieving two months of charges using Stripe's API, which can result in long loading times because:

*...listing charges (or most resources) can be quite slow as you need to render many objects. The Charge API especially is quite a large object to render and paginate through.*

I like the Stripe API design, and as a follow-on, I tend to like their coding styles and structures. Here's their official Stripe dotnet library - https://github.com/stripe/stripe-dotnet. It's well organized and the code coverage looks good.

New API version released: Version 2022-08-01 of the Stripe API has been released along with major version upgrades to all official client libraries, namely Dotnet, Go, Java, PHP, Node, Python, and Ruby. Read more about breaking changes in the API upgrades section and how to upgrade.

I am using Stripe backend library that you can fetch from here Stripe.net.

Stay compliant with updated KYC regulations: We’ve added future_requirements support to our Java, PHP, .NET, Go, and Node SDKs. This parameter enables developers to know account verification requirements and deadlines.

Stripe has seven main client libraries — Ruby, PHP, Python, Node, .NET, Go, and Java — and we wanted to give junior developers a foundation of broadly applicable knowledge to help them in all of their Stripe development going forward.

"I haven't seen excitement around any product and ecosystem launched since 2018 except flutter and Firebase."

Hard disagree, lol. Android Jetpack was launched in 2018. It was basically the second generation of Android development, it was a proper "tech stack" instead of everyone cobbling together third party libraries. Architectures switched over to the one true MVVM, instead of being this mess of MVC, MVP, etc.

Jetpack Compose is pretty amazing, it cut down our LOC by about half because we don't need adapters for every list. Kotlin coroutines & flow is nice. You get reactive programming, no more complex nested if/else conditions. We're not using Fragments or Activities much now either, navigation is via Compose, meaning DI is less necessary. So builds can be much faster too with a 2023 stack, and you can get UI changes rendered in the emulator immediately without even needing to update the build.

Here's a modern stack I made, should be able to spin up an app in an hour, and it shouldn't be too hard to read the code: https://github.com/smuzani/android-minimalist-template

Or if you want something production, Stripe's code is one of my favorites: https://github.com/stripe/stripe-android

Jetpack has some dark moments though, but that's a story for another day.

Ha! I hope not! You can look up my name as a maintainer in the android SDK here: https://github.com/stripe/stripe-android/blob/master/.github/CODEOWNERS and my linkedin here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jaynewstrom/

Stripe Android SDK: Android SDK versions 20.7.0-20.11.0 were released this month and contain updates and fixes for functionality related to PaymentSheet and Identity.

Stripe Android SDK v20.6.2: Android SDK version 20.6.2 contains several bug fixes for Payments, reduces the size of StripeCardScan, and adds new rememberFinancialConnections features for Financial Connections.

Hi everyone - I'm on the Stripe Mobile SDK team and would love this community's feedback on what you would love to see us improve, namely in stripe-android. Would love to hear things that would make you say "Finally!", would have saved you several hours/days, or even little annoyances. No idea is too farfetched!

The Stripe Android SDK now supports SetupIntents with Google Pay. Use the multipayment UI to gain these features in v17.1.2.

Stripe Android SDK version 17.0.0 and 17.1.0: Android version 17.0.0 introduces GooglePayLauncher and GooglePayPaymentMethodLauncher to simplify Google Pay integration, and version 17.1.0 adds support for WeChat pay. Read more in the release notes.

Android SDK update: The latest version of the Stripe Android SDK (16.5.0) now supports Kotlin coroutines.
