Stripe Play

Inspiration

I want to learn about how to charge credit cards.

What it does

It tries to charge my credit card.

How we built it

Using the stripe api.

Challenges we ran into

Some of the information on the stripe api is outdated, and they don't like you inputting card information directly into the api. Rather Stripe is built to take this information from a browser, and for security reasons they don't let you pass this information as a parameter in the python code without explicit permission from the Stripe Company.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

I'm proud of messing around with the strip api, while hanging out with my friends at Virginia Tech and exploring campus.

What we learned

I learned that the Stripe API might be more difficult to deal with, and that there are major security concerns that have to be dealt with whenever making an app that deals with other people's money.
