Question! #2

Hi Ryan,

First, thank you for this amazing app. I am trying to adopt it to an iOS app and do you think this is possible: After authenticating the user, sending a url to the server like this http://localhost:3000/payment?buyer_id=...&seller_id=...&amount=...&fee=... with the buyer, seller id and the amount and the server would make the payment with stripe and return the other parameters. This would remove a lot of steps.

Thank you!

Hey, glad you're finding this project useful! I don't see any problem with the approach you're suggesting. I might try to keep the amount and fee calculation on the server (by using a product or order ID of some kind), and maybe also add a shared secret or API key-like value to the parameters (eg http://localhost:3000/payment?buyer_id=...&seller_id=...&order=...&token=SHAREDSTRING). Also in production of course you'd want that to be an https URL. But besides that, sounds good to me!

If you want to discuss this further you could shoot me an email about it -- http://ryanfunduk.com/contact
