They avoid merchant charges, making processing much cheaper for non-card transactions.

Have you made any progress with this?
I just started playing around with stripe in WConnect and have not yet managed to get a charge processed.
I've tried sending the parameters both as a JSON object and in the querystring but I don't have them right yet.

Curious to see how you made out.

I had an email dialog with them to pin down the details. Turns out it's a two step process:
- Use the provided javascript code to gather cc info and get a 'card token'. This appears to be in the API as 'Create a Card Token'.
- Use the token in step one to get a 'Charge Code', while being sure to set "capture: true". This is what you are calling 'Create a Charge'.

Alternatively, you can set "capture: false" and then Use the charge code in step two to complete the transaction.

I have not gotten back to implementing what I have learned, but I'll be happy to share the code once I do. Please do the same for me if you do it first. I was using Authorize.net until recently so it's just a matter of retrofitting the stripe API.

Here's what I've got so far.

I copied this sample HTML code into an HTM file.
All I had to do with this for testing is to insert my actual publishable key in line 15 - Stripe.setPublishableKey('YOUR_PUBLISHABLE_KEY'); and insert the Form Action method.

Here's the test method in my process class...

************************************************************************
* StripeCharge
****************************************
*  Function: Gets the token from the HTML form
*            and calls the Stripe API to make
*            a credit card charge.
*    Assume:
************************************************************************
FUNCTION StripeCharge()
*-----------------------------
LOCAL ARRAY laVars[1,2]
LOCAL lnVars, lcToken, lcURL, loHttp, lcResponse
lnVars = Request.aFormVars(@laVars)
lcToken = laVars[1,2]	&& revise later for multiple form vars
lcURL = "https://api.stripe.com/v1/charges"
DO wwHttp
loHTTP = CREATEOBJECT([WWC_WWHTTP])
*
*  From what I can gather, the Auth header must be exactly
*  like this.  The docs don't describe this but the error message
*  in the response does.
*  It needs to be named "Authorization" and the value needs
*  to be the string "Bearer" + <space> + YOUR_SECRET_KEY
*
loHTTP.AddHeader("Authorization","Bearer YOUR_SECRET_KEY")
loHTTP.AddPostKey("amount",1000)  && $10.00
loHTTP.AddPostKey("currency","usd")
loHTTP.AddPostKey("description","My first charge")
loHTTP.AddPostKey("card",m.lcToken)
lcResponse = loHttp.HTTPGet(m.lcURL)
Response.Write(m.lcResponse)
ENDFUNC

This code successfully created a charge.
Now it's just a matter of parsing the JSON response.
