Third-Party Integrations

Payment integrations use Stripe's recommended server-side approach: card data never touches your server (Stripe Elements handles it client-side), all payment processing uses Stripe's server-side SDK, webhook signatures are verified before processing, and amount calculations are always server-side. The generated code follows Stripe's PCI compliance best practices.

Yes. All integrations are implemented as standard Node.js service modules following the route → controller → service pattern. You can extend, modify, or replace any integration by editing the corresponding service file. The integration architecture is designed for extensibility, not lock-in.

Any integration with a REST API or SDK can be requested via a natural language prompt. icōd.ai generates the service layer, authentication handling, error management, and UI components for integrations not in the standard library — it just takes slightly longer as the AI has less pre-built knowledge to draw from.

All API keys and secrets are stored as environment variables — never hardcoded in source files. The generated .env.example file documents every required variable. For production deployments, we configure AWS Secrets Manager injection so secrets never exist in environment files on production infrastructure.

Yes. icōd.ai can generate a payment gateway abstraction layer with Stripe for international payments and a regional gateway (e.g. HyperPay for GCC, PayFast for South Africa) for local payments. The abstraction routes payment requests to the appropriate gateway based on currency or user location.
