Hi all, I'm helping my girlfriend launch her first SaaS. One of my goals was to build the entire thing without any backend. I was able to do this by using Vue and a bunch of 3rd party APIs.
I am really close to finishing this entire project without a single line of backend code, but I'm stuck on the Stripe integration. Because everything on the front end is completely public, I can not call the stripe Tokenization process without exposing my secret key to the world.
I need some simple solution to generate this token. I've looked at both Azure functions, and AWS Lambda's but both of those options look like overkill. I don't want this API code to be complex or else that defeats the purpose of having a backend-free web app.
Can you use the Stripe Checkout offering? I use that on ottofield.io and don't have a backend for the website. It's a hosted stripe chehckout solution.
Thanks! I took your suggestion and ended up using it. I'm using Zapier to connect it to my Authentication service. Only downside is that it takes a minute or two after signup for it to register that you paid.
Awesome, glad it worked out!
