accepting credit card payments ios

Question

How can I accept credit card payments in my iphone app?

I wanted to do the following

• Allow users to give their credit card information
• When they do, send credit card to my server using https and proces credit card using stripe on my server.

Is that the right way to do this technically? How can I make sure the credit card information will stay secure?

Answer 1

You can use Stripe's iOS bindings to easily accept your customers' payment information.

This library uses our create token API call to securely send any sensitive data to our servers. We'll then turn that into a token and pass it back to your application – you can submit this to your server to create an actual charge as normal.
