How to Sell a One-time Purchase in Rails With Stripe

Used by millions of companies, Stripe provides payment infrastructure for applications to handle subscriptions and one-time purchases. Stripe Checkout allows us to easily accept card payments via a hosted payments page, which is crafted to increase conversions. Combining this with webhooks allows developers to sell products and subscriptions and then deliver them digitally.While it's technically possible to handle payments yourself using an existing provider, Stripe provides a number of benefits. For starters, it's faster. Stripe has over 4,000 people working on making payments as simple, secure, and convenient as possible.Furthermore, having your payments 'powered by Stripe' is an easy way to build customer trust and increase conversion. Customers are typically hesitant to give their card or bank information to every website they visit, and rightfully so.
