Exploring the new Stripe React Native SDK

Stripe, a popular financial service platform, is enhancing its integration capabilities for React Native applications with the release of its official Stripe React Native SDK, currently in beta. This SDK simplifies the process of accepting payments and managing subscriptions, offering a significant reduction in integration time and improved user interface and experience. The SDK supports multiple payment methods, including Apple Pay, while ensuring security by handling sensitive data through Stripe's API. It also complies with Strong Customer Authentication requirements by default. Developers can utilize pre-built payment UIs, which are in beta but promise future expansion. The SDK is compatible with Android 5.0 and above, as well as iOS 11 and above, though its installation process is slightly more complex for iOS. By setting up a Stripe account and integrating the Stripe React Native SDK, developers can build a payment screen and incorporate a server to handle the backend communication with Stripe, enhancing the capability and efficiency of their React Native apps.
