Is there a way to integrate a Stripe payment on my website with Firebase backend service without using any other backend service?

Question

I began to develop an online store website with html, css and js, I use Firebase as backend. Then came up the payment part, I want to use Stripe for that, and it turns out that I have to use Node.js to manage that payment part. (or any other server technology)

I have to say that I'm very novice in back-end (and stripe) and the idea was to get rid of that part (the reason why I use Firebase) except that the payment part requires it.

My question is:

Is it enough to use Firebase only as a backend to manage the payment part with Stripe?

If no,

can I use node.js(express framework) just on the payment page and not extend it to all the other pages with those routing things? Or do I have to deploy it on the whole website? Thanks.

Answer 1

There is a Firebase Extension that is built by Stripe and states:

Use this extension as a backend for your Stripe payments.

It makes use restricted API keys so you have granular control over what records can be created/read/updated by the extension.

I think that sounds easier that trying to work out an Express app for a single payment page.
