Stripe integration for v3 / other Paddle alternatives
Hi! I have given up integrating the Lemonsqueezy payment processor/merchant of record, as it was going to be far too complicated for me to be able to handle. If anyone sees this and feels like trying to work at this with me, please add me to Discord, as I feel like a lot of people might be able to benefit from this. Lemonsqueezy is basically like Paddle but with better support, better looking/behaving checkout process, and the approval process is very fast. I am still floored with how terrible Paddle is.
My discord is "alex m 123" but remove thee spaces (I do not want my username to appear in searches.)
What I plan on trying now is going back to the Stripe integration + this extra integration for Stripe called Reach which seems to do the same as Paddle as far as automatic tax remittance goes. I would love to use the aforementioned Lemonsqueezy but this Stripe options seems better for now because the integration has already been done and I think I can actually do this myself.
Anyways, @bobbyiliev I wanted to see if there was any chance the v3 Stripe integration was at a point where you think posting the code/doing a PR or something might be helpful? Or if it's just still not really worked on yet. I don't mind doing it myself but just wanted to ask about that first, and also public post about LS and see if anyone wanted to help me tackle integrating that into wave.
Here is the thread I'm using for that, in case anyone sees this and needs it. It seems very helpful.

Thanks everyone
Hey Alex,
V3 is still work in progress and not really ready yet I am afraid.
Currently there are no plans to integrate Lemonsqueezy in v3 unless we see a high demand for it!
I will bring this up to @tnylea as well!
Oh yes I knew there was no plans for the LS addition, I was just saying if there was any Wave user that wanted to help, I thought it could be good to figure out and just submit a PR for it, as it's too much for me to handle on my own -- I am too new to PHP to really know all the necessary changes to make/add. It seems like a great product so I hope I can get it working soon.
But I am going through the Stripe integration PR right now, hopefully I can get through it with minimal issues. If it's okay for me to post any issues I have here, I will do that, because I'm sure there will be some.
thank you!
I actually have one question, do you happen to have a link to an old Wave demo or any page that uses Stripe that is integrated in a way that Wave functioned previously with Stripe?
I'm just not even sure what to expect with this and it would help a lot if there was something like this. It does not even have to be a wave/laravel based site, I am just trying to see how the checkout process look previously, and the subscription modify area and if it was modal/in-line for all of the aforementioned things.
If you have any suggestions or info on this I would appreciate it!
Hey Alex,
Yes, definitely will consider implementing both Paddle and Stripe in V3 as this has been a big ask from a lot of people!
The best implementation so far for Stripe + Wave v2 is this PR here:
I've tested this only recently and it seems to work well!
Let me know if you have any questions.
