stripe-python VS stripe-react-native

Make async requests in the beta release of stripe-python: The stripe-python beta channel now has built-in support for async control flow, backed by the httpx or aiohttp http libraries.

Instantiate StripeClient in the Python SDK: Stripe-python v8.0.0 introduced StripeClient, upgrading from a single global configuration to enable multiple thread-safe instances.

Let's start by installing the Python library for Stripe, which is available on Github.

Use types with the Python SDK: Strengthen Python integrations with type annotations using the stripe-python library starting in v6.8.0b3 through the beta channel.

You should use the python package that stripe provides: https://github.com/stripe/stripe-python

The api_key is being passed down to every object. You can see it being fed to the constructor for Customer because it is a child of StripeObject.

I've been maintaining async-stripe for over a year. It is the only async client for Python. It fixes a long standing feature request (issue #327).

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.

> Every time a new language comes out we have to recreate millions of baseline libraries and it just sucks. As a dev I want to be able to make use of great libraries oblivious to what they are created with.

Technically this tool mostly does exist already with the OpenAPI specification if we're talking about REST APIs. If you put in the leg work to create a very detailed specification which is a YAML file, you can generate programming language specific SDKs out of it.

Stripe has publicly mentioned[0] they mostly use this spec to generate their SDKs (even as of a few years ago), even so auto-generated code still requires developer time and there's a level of "hey we're dedicated to internally supporting this". It's a huge deal having a provider internally support your language's SDK.

The stripe package is actually maintained by Stripe.

What is your purpose with the action of opening the payment window? Do you just want to show the cards, or is the user buying a product, or is it for something in the app? The react-native-payment has not seen any updates the past 2 years… I would skip this package for usage. You could use something like https://github.com/stripe/stripe-react-native if you like to use stripe as a payment provider. Or for in app purchases I use https://github.com/dooboolab/react-native-iap So it depends on want you want to accomplish and what kind of payment provider you want to use. Good luck 💪🏽

Stripe React Native: version 0.19 was released, which contains breaking changes required to fit updated brand guidelines from Google for Google Pay and moves the minimum compileSdkVersion to v33.

Stripe React Native: Versions 0.15.0 - 0.18.1 were published this month and include a breaking change: Your compileSdkVersion for android/build.gradle must be set to greater than version 32. There are also updates to confirmPayment, several bug fixes, and the inclusion of Link on PaymentSheet for iOS.

Stripe React Native v0.15.0–0.16.0: Two new releases to our React Native library this month include support for dark mode on the GooglePayButton and CardForm components. These updates also introduced several breaking changes from previous versions.

Stripe React Native v0.12.0–0.14.1: This has been added in the canAddCardToWallet method, for use with Stripe Issuing in combination with Apple and Google Pay wallets. This set of releases also allows devs to set the default country for both the CardField and CardForm components, and includes several bug fixes.

This is an issue that I opened yesterday. I’ve attached my code over here.

We do have a first-party react native library here: https://github.com/stripe/stripe-react-native. Anything specific with it, you'd like to see improved?

Stripe React Native SDK: The official Stripe React Native SDK is now in public beta to help you build delightful payment experiences using React Native. Watch our video guides on adding the SDK to a React Native app and accepting a payment.
