What is Stripe's logo?

  • Stripe's logo is a payment processor
  • They care about UI, UX, and DX (Developer Experience)

How do they care about DX?

  • Stripe's logo gives you a test account to play with
  • You don't need to ever enter financial info for your test account
  • The give you great tutorials to integrate the basics
  • And great documentation for the rest

Great, but site X does that too.

  • Stripe's logo also provides a Campfire room to ask questions, and are answer promptly by Stripe's logo Employees
  • There API documentation comes with code snippets in Curl, Ruby, Python, PHP, and Java.
  • They wrote API libraries for all of those languages (Curl is not a language, I know), and libraries for Scala and .NET

I am listening

  • The test account has all of the features of the live account
  • This includes their webhooks, their UI, and API
  • You can create test data, and interactions work just as in "live" mode
