Announcing native support for Stripe’s JavaScript SDK in Cloudflare Workers

The author discusses how handling payments is crucial for building an online business, with Stripe being a popular choice among developers. They mention that older versions of Stripe's SDK had core Node.js dependencies which made it incompatible with Cloudflare Workers. However, the recent availability of the stripe JS package for Cloudflare Workers allows developers to use the native Stripe SDK directly in their projects. This opens up opportunities for developers using Cloudflare Pages to begin using Stripe alongside their applications and accept payments or handle subscriptions with minimal configuration. The author also provides examples of how to integrate Stripe Checkout into a Pages application and securely validate incoming webhook requests to a Workers function. They announce a new Workers template in partnership with Stripe, which helps developers get up and running with Stripe and Workers using best practices.
