What do I need to integrate integrate Stripe payment gateway?

Question

I am having a hard time trying to integrate STRIPE to my website. There is a lot of programming language-codes-composer-php and other blahblah tech stuff I don't understand.

I don't have the time and patience to get more in depth into those things...so I am having someone else do it for me.
However that person said I will need to buy an SSL certificate and also a VPS hosting...

I am alright with the SSL, but never heard about the VPS hosting thing..

How is that? DO I really need that?

I'd like to hear good advice on this.

THANK YOU

Answer 1

Stripe is a logistics payment gateways, with stripe web developers can integrate payment processing into their websites without having a register and merchant account. I think it is unsafe for the business and also for the customers, there is having the much online business who are searching for the best payment gateways. There are having many payment gateways like Airpay, Emvantage, Instamojo, Direcpay, Atom, Ebs, Citrus etc. These are few popular payment gateway which are best if you integrate into your website, Nationkart is an excellent e-commerce company which is providing this best option of payment gateway.

Answer 2

Where is the website currently hosted? Is it on some weebly or wix or whatever website builder BS?

Cause if so, then yes, you will need your own hosting, and VPS is cheaper than so-called dedicated hosting, since with VPS you're sharing a server with other customers. That's fine though.

Answer 3

VPS just means virtual private host (cloud hosts) and is a host that uses virtual servers to host your website instead of dedicated hardware which is significantly more expensive. He's just being confusing, any website host should do just fine. DigitalOcean, Rackspace, GoDaddy, Amazon AWS, etc. Pick what works best for you. Next time though if your programmer isn't communicating with you what they need in direct, easy to understand terms, they probably aren't as smart as they're trying to pretend to be.

If you have hired a professional, it's probably best just to take his or her advice, since you are paying for the service. If you don't trust the professional that you've hired, find someone else you CAN trust, or hire a second consultant to get a second opinion.
