I think it's fair to ask what I'm expecting, or, put another way: how it could be better. And maybe, as part of that, why Stripe should care. I think your explanation did help to make this more understandable, that was useful. In the end (long before writing this comment) I got it to work the 'hard way' so at this point I'm set. The problem isn't really me, since after all I got Stripe to work. The problem isn't truly the inexperienced solo junior dev who gets stuck either - I don't imagine that costs them very much business. The real problem is Shopify, and how potential Stripe customers get bounced off of Stripe to Shopify. I honestly wonder how much of Shopify's growth can be attributed to "couldn't get Stripe to work, gave up." Or, to go deeper into that, the business owner who's looking for a payment solution, and wants it to be easy. I think Shopify blew up partly because lots of other solutions were like "we can't make it that easy, but here's this 'easy' solution...' whereas Shopify was the company that said, "here's what you asked for, the easy solution - done." I think if Stripe's documentation and solutions were better, some of the business that went into Shopify's column, would go into Stripe. Possibly a very significant amount.
