Why we picked it
This is the concrete proof that payments are a solved problem you should borrow: a few steps and you are charging real cards without touching card data yourself. Seeing how little code it takes is the fastest way to talk yourself out of building billing. Skim it to understand what buying payments actually looks like before you commit.
Why we picked it
If your MVP is really about testing willingness to pay, you may not need to write payment code at all: a Payment Link is a URL you share to collect money. This is the extreme end of borrow rather than build, and it lets you validate pricing before any engineering. Use it to charge your first customers while the product itself is still barely there.
Why we picked it
If your customers are outside India, this is the doc that matters, because Stripe India works differently from the global signup. It spells out that you need a registered business, that services exports have specific rules, and that you declare transactions as exports in 135-plus currencies. Read it before you assume you can just plug Stripe in from India.
