How (and Why?) we use Stripe for payments

Stripe payment integration allows ExpressExpense to easily take payments from within our site efficiently and securely.  It is seamless to the customer and a piece of cake to implement.

The beauty of Stripe is that the customer credit card information is NEVER stored on our systems.  It is passed to Stripe via an encrypted token and then a response is sent back indicating payment success/failure.

If you are looking for a sample Stripe form in PHP, we have a simpleone here we would like to share:  http://www.expressexpense.com/stripe-form.php.txt

This form takes required information for a class registration, sends the payment request to stripe and then emails the customer a payment receipt and redirects them to a “thank you” page.

We enjoy using additional add-ons for Stripe to allow us to report on on the payment data Stripe produces.  Two 3rd party add-ons to Stripe we recommend:

https://app.datahero.com – Provides reporting on payment information.  I appreciate the customizable reports that allow us to visualize monthly data for card type information, fees vs payments and payment failures.

http://chrrp.io/ – gives us instant notification of Stripe payments and error messages to mobile devices.

Give Stripe a shot on your website.  It takes the headaches out of payments!
