I must be missing something! What does this give me as opposed to just using Stripe's API / checkout process directly?

> Apart from a few exceptions, this library mirror Stripe's API. You can use Stripe's Docs or our JSDocs for reference.

https://docs.appstitch.dev/stripe

Also, what does this cost? Is this a business or an open source library?

How does this compare to things like Chargebee or Recurly?

And, most importantly, why are you storing Stripe secret keys? If you are simply doing a better front-end/Stripe Checkout sort of front-end, why not just use the Stripe public key or even a regular Stripe Connect / API key if you need to do private API calls?
