So that's it for this course section.
This is how we can use a third-party service
and its API Stripe, here in this project to make payments.
You learned what a service or API is
and that I use these terms interchangeably here,
though they're technically not the same.
Axis also has an API, even though it's not a service.
Stripe is a service with a lot of products,
which has a lot of different APIs for interacting
with these products.
But the most important takeaway is that those services
and APIs allow you to integrate features into your website,
which you couldn't really build on your own,
at least not in a simple way.
Here we added payments with a couple of lines of code
it's really not too difficult.
And all the heavy lifting is done by Stripe.
We just sent the right data to Stripe through its API
and that's it.
And this is this online shop finished,
and this is how we can use third party services and APIs.
Later in the course, we will also have a look at how we can
build our own services and APIs.
