The payment provider Stripe is used to process all incoming payments.
To test Stripe locally, the applications needs to be able to receive webhook requests from Stripe. This can be achieved with the following command:
valet share --region=eu -subdomain=yourdesigncontest
Due to restrictions which prohibit funds from being transferred between EU and US Stripe accounts Stripe connect cannot be used.
Therefore, Stripe payouts are transferred into a TransferWise accounts which makes it easier to accept payments from around the globe and allows for cheap payouts.
