Stripe

  • How to set up "card on file" purchases:
    • Background
      • The idea here is to make it possible for your customer to make purchases with their credit card without needing to enter their credit card information. So it's basically like what PayPal does, except for people who don't have PayPal.
      • This is very, very useful because you then don't need to charge your customer a big amount all-at-once; you can instead charge them a bunch of smaller charges, as they continue to use the service. This lowers the initial psychological barrier that the user will feel to making a purchase, and gets the user into the habit of making purchases from you.
        • Examples: Amazon Kindle books, Steam games, GOG

        • to store card or bank account information for later use, create Customer objects or Custom accounts. In addition, Radar, our integrated solution for automatic fraud protection, only supports integrations that make use of client-side tokenization.

OAuth

Usage advice

  • Consider only allowing users to sign in with OAuth from sites where you can benefit from their sharing your content.
    • For example, Pieter Levels only allows OAuth sign-ins from Twitter and Facebook. Those two sites are also great places to have your users share information about your website. But if you allow users to sign in with Google or GitHub, then they may choose to do that instead and you won't have as easy a time getting them to help you spread the word.
  • Consider automatically having new users follow you on the site that they've used OAuth for.
    • For example, if you sign into NomadList with Twitter, Pieter has you automatically follow the NomadList Twitter account. You could do the same thing with Facebook pages.
