Connect FileMaker to the Stripe API – Why Use Stripe & Best Practices for Integration

Are you looking for a way to process payments in FileMaker? Or perhaps you just need to pull payment data and reports into your FileMaker app.

We recently created an online training course to help FileMaker developers connect FileMaker to the Stripe API.

We received some questions such as:

• What is Stripe?
• Why should I use Stripe?

We hope this post will help answer those questions and familiarize you with Stripe.

What is Stripe?

Stripe is a leading provider of payment processing in the world of website builders like Wix, online course platforms like Thinkific, small business eCommerce stores like Shopify, and other entrepreneurial vendors or services.

Many of these SaaS software offerings come pre-built to work with Stripe as a payment gateway process since having a simple easy-to-use online payment processing system is a must.
