Are you asking if you can bring your own payment gateway for use with Stripe? (Sorry, I was thrown off by the payment form tutorial reference.)

- jqueryin 12y agoNo, just whether or not you'd implement Alipay into your API in a manner that would allow for us to handle the frontend UI ourselves (letting our users chose between Alipay or credit card).
- lachyg 12y agoWe felt that Checkout was the best integration point because it let us do some nice dynamic authentication logic instead of Alipay's usual redirect-based flow. Given that subtleties involved, Alipay's constraints, and the fact that it'll no doubt need to evolve in the future (as compared to the static standardization of credit cards), I think it'd be pretty tough to expose it via a straight API.
- jqueryin 12y agoThat makes sense. Given the fact Checkout simply returns a token, I think it's safe to say that it can still work with existing backend API solutions in conjunction with webhooks.
