Stripe started really really well with its developer, library and documentation support. In fact I think that’s a very large part of their initial success.
At some point they lost that focus and dropped the ball. For example for a very long time they had no direct support for reactjs even when it was hugely popular, instead you had to go find some third party library which is a terrible thing to have to do for implementation of payment code.
Maybe they’re improved and started supporting actively the technologies developers are using.
I think Stripe offers a great product, but I still don’t think they have direct support for react-native, relying instead on a third-party library which isn’t very well documented, and only implements portions of the stripe API.
I'm very impressed by those docs. Anyone has insights how they were made?
Looks like they were partly generated, otherwise it would be impossible to keep everything consistent - especially with the many language examples. They also seem to generate an OpenApi Spec (or use this as a basis for generating the docs?): https://github.com/stripe/openapi
