To facilitate secure and efficient financial transactions within our application, we need to integrate a payment gateway. This will enable users to make payments for products, subscriptions, and other services directly through our platform. The initial focus will be on integrating a widely-accepted payment gateway such as Stripe or PayPal for processing credit and debit card payments, as well as other payment methods supported by the chosen gateway.
Tasks:
Select a Payment Gateway: Evaluate and choose a payment gateway ( Stripe) based on features, costs, and ease of integration.
Set Up Merchant Account: Register for a merchant account with the selected payment gateway and obtain necessary API keys or credentials for integration.
Install Payment SDK: Add the payment gateway's SDK or library to our backend system. For Node.js, this might involve installing a package via npm.
Securely Store API Keys: Use environment variables to securely store API keys or secrets obtained from the payment gateway.
Create Payment Processing Logic: Develop backend logic to create charges, handle payments, and manage transactions. This includes integrating with the payment gateway's API to process payments and securely handling sensitive payment information.
Test Payment Flow: Thoroughly test the payment integration in a sandbox environment provided by the payment gateway to ensure the payment process works as expected without real transactions.
Documentation and Compliance: Document the integration process, including any setup required and how to use the payment features. Ensure the integration complies with PCI DSS and any other relevant financial regulations.
Acceptance Criteria:
The payment gateway is successfully integrated into our backend system.
Environment variables are used to securely manage API keys and sensitive data.
Backend logic for processing payments is implemented and tested.
Payment integration is thoroughly tested in a sandbox environment and ready for live transactions.
Integration complies with relevant financial regulations and security standards.
Documentation is provided for the integration process and usage.
Deliverables:
Payment gateway integration code and configurations.
Documentation for the integration process and handling payments within the application.
