User Story:

• As a user, i want a payment interface on datahub, so that i can pay for data requests, or other services.
• As an admin, i want a payment interface on datahub, so that i can charge customers for the data requests.

Acceptance criteria

• [x] I'm able to charge a given customer for some exact amount

Tasks

• [x] Get a clear idea of requirements
• [x] Initial look at the stripe API for NodeJS
• [x] Formulate a plan for how the process of payments would be implemented
• [x] Create test API key for stripe
• [x] Implement it and test
• [x] Deploy

Analysis

As the first step we want to implement a basic payment process, e.g., we want to be able to charge a given customer for some exact amount. For instance, a user requested data and we want to charge him for 10 USD so we can send a link for the invoice.

Example logic and URIs: https://datahub.io/pay - this opens a blank form where you can create a payment adding amount + description + customer https://datahub.io/pay?id=xxx https://datahub.io/pay?success=true or https://datahub.io./pay?failure=true for the response
