Stripe
The easiest way to take payments in your vibe coded app.
What is Stripe?
Stripe handles credit card processing, subscriptions, invoices, and more. It's the most popular payment provider for vibe coded apps. You connect it via API key and Stripe handles all the complex payment security.
Stripe's dashboard lets you manage customers, view payments, issue refunds, and create pricing plans — all without writing code for those features.
In Vibe Coding
Stripe is the payment standard for vibe coded apps. Lovable has a Stripe integration guide. In Cursor, you add the Stripe SDK and API keys. Stripe handles all the scary stuff — PCI compliance, card security, and fraud detection.
Example
For example: You build a SaaS with a $29/month plan. You create a product and price in Stripe's dashboard, add a checkout button to your app, and Stripe handles collecting payment, sending receipts, and retrying failed cards.
