#+title: Stripe Payments Service
* Overview
The Stripe Payments service mediates purchases made by buyers from AWeber
customers through the [[id:7d940785-68b9-4da7-bad1-4771d496168c][Stripe payment platform]] and delivers their goods via list
subscription.
* How It Works
** Ordering
The order endpoint prepares a [[https://stripe.com/docs/api/payment_intents][Payment Intent]] with Stripe that the buyer will pay
directly using Stripe's public API. The payment intent captures the amount to be
paid, any fees that AWeber will collect, and account and list metadata used to
fulfill the order.
*** Email validation
Emails are checked against the [[https://gitlab.aweber.io/CP/Services/validation][CP Email Validation Service]] to ensure they can be
added as subscribers successfully. The following steps are performed by the service:
1. Validates that the format of the submitted email address matches AWeber's
internal email formatting rules.
2. Applies address normalization to remove any ISP specific markup.
3. Extracts the domain-part from the normalized address and validates that there
are MX records for the domain-part via DNS lookup.
4. Checks if the both the submitted and normalized version of the email address
would be blocked by the blocklist.
Should the validation service fail unexpectedly or be unavailable at the time an
order is placed, a warning will be logged and only the email format check will
be performed.
*** CAPTCHA
**** Domain validation
***** Allowed domains
The following root domains provided by AWeber for [[https://confluence.aweber.io/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=118885193][Web Content (a.k.a Landing
Pages)]] always pass CAPTCHA domain validation:
- =aweberpages.com=
- =aweb.page=
***** Custom domains
All other domains are checked against the [[https://confluence.aweber.io/display/AR/Custom+Domain+Service][Custom Domain Service]] to ensure they
are owned and managed by the AWeber account from which the purchase is being
made.
*** Fees
Fees are collected for each sale as a percentage of the sale value configured in
the [[https://confluence.aweber.io/display/CT/Service+Limits+API][Service Limits API]] for the AWeber account, rounded to the nearest cent with
a minimum fee of $0.01.
** Fulfillment
*** Adding the subscriber
Subscribers are added to the list configured for the payment if they are not
already subscribed. If the subscriber is currently on the list in an unconfirmed
state, they will be marked as subscribed. Any tags configured for the sale will
be added to the subscriber.
*** Purchase Tracking
A [[https://confluence.aweber.io/display/AR/Pageview][Pageview Event]] is emitted with details of the order so that the purchase is
tracked in the subscriber's activity.
