This is a great article! I am working on migrating an old project written in ASP Classic that uses iframes and XMLHTTP requests to communicate with PayPal and a bloated CRM to manage payments and communications (which can be delayed up to hours sometimes), to a new Laravel based PHP application with Stripe for payments. This was a great look into someone else’s point of view on the matter! Thank you for this.

Thanks for your comment Vincenzo. This is the first time I've posted anything like this. There are probably misconceptions in there, but it's very encouraging to hear that someone find my post useful. I think on balance that Stripe is the way forward. Good luck with your Laravel application.

Thank you. I agree that Stripe is a great path forward. Their API documentation is fantastic. I have never run across documentation that allows you to build your complete application right from the documentation. Usually you have to figure out the intermediate parts. I hope your future development adventures are wonderful and fruitful.
