This vid helps get started w/ Laravel stripe integration.

i. Stripe offers various methods to integrate its payment gateway into your website or application. Here's an overview of the two main approaches:

**1. Using Stripe Checkout:**

* **Low-code and user-friendly:** This method is suitable for non-technical users or those wanting a quick and easy integration.
* **Two options:**
* **Hosted Checkout:** Stripe hosts the checkout page, allowing users to enter their payment information securely. You can customize the look and feel of the checkout page to match your brand.
* **Redirected Checkout:** You redirect users to Stripe's secure checkout page to complete the payment.
* **Steps involved:**
* Create a Stripe account and obtain your API keys.
* Choose between Hosted or Redirected Checkout.
* Set up your products or services in your Stripe dashboard.
* Implement a few lines of code on your website or app to integrate the chosen checkout method.
* Test your integration thoroughly before making it live.

**2. Using Stripe.js and Server-side Integration:**

* **More control and flexibility:** This method allows full customization of the payment flow and requires knowledge of web development and server-side programming.
* **Steps involved:**
* Create a Stripe account and obtain your API keys.
* Set up your products or services in your Stripe dashboard.
* Use Stripe.js library on your client-side to collect payment information.
* Implement server-side code to process the payment using Stripe's API securely. This involves sending the payment information to Stripe's servers and handling the response.
* Test your integration thoroughly before making it live.

**Additional Resources:**

* **Stripe Documentation:** [https://docs.stripe.com/]
* **How to integrate a payment gateway into a website:** [https://stripe.com/resources/more/how-to-integrate-a-payment-gateway-into-a-website]

**Important Note:**

* Implementing payment gateways involves handling sensitive financial information. It's crucial to follow best practices for security and compliance with PCI DSS regulations. Ensure your server-side code is secure and you are storing sensitive information like credit card details securely.

Remember, choosing the right method depends on your technical skills, desired level of control, and the complexity of your integration. If you're unsure which approach to take, consider seeking help from a qualified developer with experience in Stripe integration.
