Unlock the Power of Stripe: A Game-Changer for Ecommerce
As the world of ecommerce continues to evolve, payment gateways play a crucial role in facilitating seamless transactions. Among the top payment gateways, Stripe stands out as a leader, processing over $200 billion worth of transactions. Its popularity stems from its ability to handle international transactions with ease, making it a go-to choice for businesses worldwide.
What is Stripe?
Stripe is a financial and software service that enables software developers and ecommerce companies to realize seamless payment through its API. This SaaS company has become a favorite among developers, with one out of three paid services released online using Stripe as a payment option.
The Stripe React Native SDK: A Revolutionary Tool
The official Stripe React Native SDK has made it easier than ever to integrate Stripe into your React Native app. This SDK reduces integration time and enhances UI/UX, making it a must-have for developers. With its v0.1.2 release, the SDK offers a range of features, including:
- Security: Collect sensitive data securely and send it to Stripe’s API instead of passing it through your backend server.
- Multiple Payment Options: Support for bank transfers, debits, and redirects; credit cards; buy now, pay later; vouchers; and digital wallets, including Apple Pay.
- SCA-Ready: Perform 3D authentication in compliance with Strong Customer Authentication offered by Stripe.
- Native UI: Ships with native screens and elements to securely accept payment in Android and iOS.
- Pre-built Payments UI (Beta): Support for pre-built payment UIs offered by Stripe, including Apple Pay, Google Pay, and card payment UIs.
Getting Started with Stripe
To begin, you’ll need to create a Stripe account and obtain your personal access keys. This will enable you to accept payment and set up a subscription via Stripe in your React Native app.
Building a React Native Stripe App
To build a React Native Stripe app, you’ll need to initialize a new React Native app and install the Stripe React Native SDK. You’ll also need to set up a server to communicate with Stripe from React Native using Node.js, Express, and Body-Parser.
Building the Payment Screen
Create a new folder named screens within the root directory of your React Native app, and create a new file called paymentScreen.js. This will enable you to build a simple card component that sends card details directly to the Stripe server for real-time validation.
Pre-built UI (Single-Step)
This feature combines all the steps involved in accepting payment in Stripe using credit card details. You’ll need to create an endpoint that communicates with the Stripe API from your server.
Streamline Your Ecommerce Experience
With the Stripe React Native SDK, you can create a seamless ecommerce experience for your customers. By integrating Stripe into your React Native app, you’ll be able to reduce integration time, enhance UI/UX, and increase conversion rates.
