Hi Cenk, Thanks for your comment. In order to integrate your own Stripe Checkout, don't you need a website? If so, you're going to have different middle-men like a hosting provider, domain provider, maybe a developer etc.. You're going to pay these services on a monthly basis, and theoretically just to get some payments. It's an alternative, and maybe a lot cheaper and faster than the one above. What do you think?

But note that, strictly speaking, Stripe itself is also a middle-man.

I agree, and they've also built this themselves for people who don't know how to embed/integrate it.

i don't know what kind of freelancer you are... but even a non-techie should be able to create their own checkout page using stripe tools. seriously, it is not hard

And yet Stripe decided it was worth the effort to make this easier for people. I doubt they invested engineering hours into an offering that no one asked for or needed.

Just clarifying, this isn't a Stripe product.
