Region/Page Template(s) for payment integration

oyvind.tonnesen Public
· Feb 21 2022

Idea Summary
In my opinion Apex developers would in many cases benefit from having templates for payment integration available.

Use Case
Whenever a paid subscription /freemium model is relevant to an apex app (or in-app purchase for that matter)

Preferred Solution (Optional)
Region / page templates. maybe some standard table structures and ready-made functionality towards the ‘big’ payment actors,  Visa/Mastercard, Paypal etc. Also with ready-made functionality to easier implement the smaller actors, like local/national players in various areas/countries.

We reviewed this idea carefully, and while it was interesting, we concluded that due to all the internal implications we need to take into account, it is not feasible in APEX.

    But don't all of these offer easy website integration? What could APEX do to support these that isn't already possible with a static region and their API code?

    One could say the same about the functionality in Apex for social logins, 
    but when that was released i guess it was well received.

    Also better to have some good default high-quality mechanisms in place
    for such a common and vital feature, instead of everybody doing it their own good or bad way.

    Even though not directly comparable one could look towards Apple and Google
    how they have made handling of payments easier for their various development communities.

    I believe the difference between Social Logins and Payment integration is that Social Sign-in is based on a standard (OpenID and OAuth) and work with many different identify providers which do implement those standards. I wouldn't be aware of a Payment integration standard that works with many payment providers.
