[Qgis-psc] Stripe payment integration in qgis.org

[Richard Duivenvoorde]

Hi Tim/PSC,

As you know Andreas now set up a Stripe account, so we can proceed to
integrate all kind of donations/payments in qgis.org website. For those
interested, see https://stripe.com/docs

First: while PayPal support sucks, at least the integration was very easy...

To start (for creditcard payments) we need to add a some javascript/html
to the website (probably using https://stripe.com/docs/stripe-js) to
create a client side 'Token'.

Using that token we need to have a server-side script(s) which calls the
stripe-api to do the actual payment and report back (info via some json
object) to the user.

Easiest (for now to me) would be to create a simple Python cgi (with
Requests doing http).
But we could try to create something more modular and create a (small?)
Django or Flask app. Googling for django/stripe and flask/stripe shows
we are not the only ones :-)

Tim, didn't you talk about that becoming a part of the 'projecta' site?

Or anybody else having experience with this?

Regards,

Richard Duivenvoorde
