Connect Stripe to Firebase Database

In advance, I apologize for unqualified questions. I have not been in the programming world for so long and am currently experimenting with different things. I have developed an IOS application in Swift that is connected to a Firebase Realtime Database. I would now like to implement Stripe in my app. However, since Stripe wants to access a server, I wonder what kind of server I need to do that. I think I also need to understand Cloud Functions. What do I need to learn? Is it really complex to connect Stripe to Firebase Database and is there any way I do not need to create an external server?

You will indeed need a trusted environment to run the payment processing code. This can be your development machine, a server you control, or something serverless like Cloud Functions. Recommending one of the other is off topic here on Stack Overflow, but any of them can work.

For a great introduction on adding payment processing to your app, with Cloud Functions, have a look at this video Go serverless: manage payments in your apps. The server-side code for the payment processing used in the talk is available on Github. If you prefer to read instead of watching video, you can read about the same approach in the blog post Go serverless: Manage Payments in your Apps with Cloud Functions for Firebase.
