I'm going to try to explain the best that I can. Basically I want to implement Stripe Connect to our system, we are building a platform where we have an API Rest as a backend (builted with Symfony) & a mobile app created with React Native, that's the stack, and my question is which would be the best way to integrate Stripe Connect in this stack? Also I'm having issues following the PHP Stripe tutorials. If just some could guide me a little bit on where should I point would be so greatful!
Thanks!
This is not a question anybody can answer in any practical way. There is no single "best" way to integrate using Connect, it depends on your business and technical needs. For example are you operating a marketplace with service providers or are you a payment facilitator?
The marketplace guide includes a complete example that allows you to try it out and inspect the code.
If you have more specific questions about how to integrate pieces of this in PHP, you should ask those individually.

I've been trying to create an app which does pretty much the same thing smartthings app does with some additional functionalities. But I've struggled to understand their documentations and terminologies. I've tried to illustrate my intentions below:
However their illustration is as follows:
My questions are as follows:
What do they mean by Third party Cloud? Is it same as My API Server?
What is smartapps? Are they kind of programs to define capabilities of a device? If yes, how can we create it using API instead of Groovy program.
How is Locations, SmartApps and Devices related to each other?
How do we communicate to hub connected devices? In other words, How does My API Server know about the state changes in the device? Is webhooks used here?
I have developed one mediator which syncs data from my Volusion site to QuickBooks. During this operation system need to access the company file. For that, I have used webconnector. But for some reason, I'm not able to use it so I need an alternative to it. So please suggest me some alternatives to webconnector. I'm using QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise Edition.
Intuit documents alternatives here:
https://developer.intuit.com/app/developer/qbdesktop/docs/get-started/get-started-with-quickbooks-web-connector#alternative-option-to-qb-web-connector
It basically boils down to: Autofy
But what you should really be doing here is telling us why the Web Connector doesn't work for you, so we can help you/understand the context.
In PHP, I am developing an application that is going to use the Braintree Marketplace functionality - for users within my platform to be able to handle escrow transactions for projects they post. I understand the code on how to do actual transactions, but I am having issues on the sub-merchant process and where that necessary code is supposed to go.
I have looked extensively on how to onboard sub-merchants with the code from their documentation, but where am I supposed to put all this? On its own separate page? The only coding example is the very basics here on Github. I need to be able to create these sub-merchants so that I can test escrow within their Sandbox.
It turns out that what I was trying to do was a limitation of Braintree itself. At that time, you were not able to test escrow transactions within their Sandbox. Not sure if that has changed over the past year.
For those looking for a much better payments API, check out Stripe instead.
I've one website built in PHPFox. The website is functioning properly. Now the mobile apps for iPhone and Android smartphone are under development which will use the same database that PHPFox website is using.
So, I want to make the existing APIs that are used for a PHPFox website available to the mobile apps (both iPhone and Android) as well. I don't want to reinvent the wheel again and want to re-use the same existing code for mobile apps.
I did a lot of research about this. I've spent almost four days on the research. I didn't get a single link which will explain me how to access the existing APIs from a PHPFox website for mobile apps (iPhone and Android).
One option I found from my research is creating new RESTful webservices using PHP or implement any such framework like Slim, apigility, etc.
But I think following any of the above two approaches will be a overhead and re-usability of code will also not be achieved. If the code which is working fine for website should also be used used on mobile apps. There should be no need to write the same code again. That's what I think.
So using the existing APIs from PHPFox website is the best solution that I think, might be I'm wrong. If you think I'm wrong please correct my approach.
If you could explain with some useful example it would be really great.
I've gone through PHPFox docs as well but couldn't get anything useful which could help me in the issue I'm facing. If you are also interested in documentation of PHPFox please go to below links:
http://unity.moxi9.com/docs
http://unity.moxi9.com/kb
If you could find anything useful related to the issue I'm facing please do let me know.
Well everything you are looking for is already there in the docs. Your mobile app would be registered as an app with PHPFox. You can then use their API. The remaining question is, if the end users need to authorize your mobile app from their "normal" web browser or if this authorization can be performed from the mobile app as well. At least that's what I read from the docs. Since you have an up and running installation at your hand: Just try it! Register an app and perform some requests to their API.
I started a github project a few months ago when I needed an API integration with PayPal payments. The original idea was that one should be able to use one interface to process transactions through multiple payment systems.
I've been looking into the payments ecosystem and trying to figure out what would make really good library code for a payments interface.
2 things I ran across were Chargify and Spreedly. They let you use their API to accept payments and process through payment gateways all over the world - the mantra being you build the app, we'll handle the billing.
Are there any other similar sites / services that I should integrate with as well that you know of? If you are a PHP framework user, do you have anything to add about what YOU need or want to see in a payments library? Any potential "gotchas" or "hey, think about this" you can add?
I appreciate it!
Very helpful - libraries that come really close to what I was looking for:
Active Merchant for Ruby on Rails
Payment Process 2 for PHP
