Multiple payment providers #1591

Closed AlastairDewar closed 10 months ago

AlastairDewar commented 10 months ago

Hello,

I wondered if there was a reason why Cashier had a separate repo for Stripe and Paddle (as well as Braintree and Mollie previously)?

I am working on a project which has multiple payment providers (Stripe, Apple In-App Purchase, Roku Pay, Google Pay, etc.), and I would have thought the 'Laravel way' would be to add 'drivers' for each of these providers similar to Storage for example.

I would be happy of course to contribute a PR towards the restructuring to support this, but it feels like a large fundamental (and potentially breaking) change that would need more discussion first.

Thanks, Ally

Payment providers each have very different concepts and ways of how they handle payments. Each having a vastly different API and core concepts, there's no way to unify them into a single package and at the same time be as thorough and flexible as each Cashier package is.
