How is this new? I thought Stripe has always worked on iOS?

@bentossell @blendahtom From the blog post, it looks like there aren't actually any new features here, but they've made it easier for developers to implement those features in the SDK with some reusable new components. Stripe has had Apple Pay support from it's launch, and has been able to automatically update card details for years. Still, it's great that they are refining their execution here, and I'm sure a lot of iOS devs will appreciate it. I'd be curious to see how it the complexity of this implementation stacks up against Braintree these days. Braintree gets you a lot more payment methods: cards, Apple Pay, Android Pay, Venmo, PayPal, and Coinbase/bitcoin.

@mvboeke @bentossell @blendahtom (I work at Stripe) We support a bunch of payment methods out of the box with a unified integration: credit and debit cards, Apple Pay, Android Pay, 135+ currencies (including Bitcoin), Alipay (which is used by 500M Chinese users), ACH payments. We're also testing out betas to support a few other payment types, including SEPA payments in Europe. Drop me a line if you have any feedback or need any help getting started!

Any plans to support computer vision Camera-Capture for card details? It's just so easy with Uber and I'd love to see it used elsewhere too.

@tombielecki FWIW, Uber appears to be using https://www.card.io. We also use it for CC scanning @ Ideally (along with Stripe). It requires some extra integration but not too bad...

Great to see Stripe integrate Apple Pay so quickly into their SDK. Gives devs a lot of trust that they will continue to lead the way as new forms of payments developer. Reminds when they quickly added bitcoin a while back.

@tylerswartz Thanks so much! FWIW, we've supported Apple Pay in our SDK since it launched in 2014. Yesterday's launch is effectively a bunch of wrapper code for both Apple Pay and our new UI components, which makes it easy to build a checkout flow that always uses the best available payment method.

It would be nice if Stripe checked if a device had a Bitcoin wallet app installed; and if the device does, bitcoin should be shown as an option. Same with AliPay.

Awesome.

Do they plan to roll out the same integration for Android (excluding Apple Pay)? It's frustrating when companies don't release parallel updates (iOS & Android), as you can't design a product (app) based on one platform.
