Fiat Payments

Description: Users will need a way to pay us for using the network. This can most simply and cost effectively be achieved with a Stripe integration. Stripe enables fiat payments with all major credit cards, Apple Pay, and Google Pay. The exact revenue model and pricing is still TBD so this will drive if we integrate Stripe Billing as well for monthly/annual subscriptions in the future. We will have to fill out a Stripe Business Profile. For now we are just integrating Stripe Payments.

Story ROI: Enable revenue generation by Lifted.

As a user, I want to use fiat to pay for network usage so that it is simple.

• Should be achievable via a UI (Gwen).
• Should integrate Stripe Payments.
• Should be able to pay with Debit / Credit.
• Should be able to pay with ACH.
• Should be able to be demoed.

Notes:

• Full Stripe pricing breakdown here: https://stripe.com/pricing#pricing-details
• Can consider Subscriptions with Stripe Billing in the future if our revenue model requires it: https://stripe.com/billing
• Check with legal on this integration before engineering.

Start with the issue checklist and review the linked payments notes and partner comparison. Resolve the revenue model, legal approval, and exact payment scope before implementation. Done means a Gwen UI can demonstrate Stripe Payments for card and ACH usage.
