Update to the version of the Stripe NPM module?

Hello:

I am using the NPM Stripe module in Wix at a coding level. I notice that the version that is available in Wix is 6.14.0 (which is listed when you install the module).

But, at the github for the Wix module, the current version is 7.11.0. A lot of API extensions have been added since 6.14.0 that are not included (such as taxRates and paymentMethods):

https://github.com/stripe/stripe-node/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md

Is there any chance any of the Wix engineers could update the Wix Stripe NPM module please? This would be one HAPPY Wix developer!

Thanks,

Dan Pronovost

Bump! Can any one from Wix here provide some feedback on when the Stripe NPM Module will be updated to the current version in guthub?

Have you tried requesting the update through the Package Manager yourself?

Otherwise look at using their own API and exposing your site through Wix Fetch or HTTP Function if you need all the latest updates etc.

Thank you for the feedback on this.

The instructions for requesting new packages in the link you sent indicates:

To request a package be added to the list of available packages:
Open the Package Manager in the Available view.
Use the search box to make sure the package you want to request is not already available.
Click the Let us know link below the list of packages.
Fill and submit the request form.

The Stripe module is already available, and Wix engineers do seem to visit this forum from time to time. I have called their support line and made the request for an update as well.

Indeed, for now, I have managed to use Wix fetch in effect to code to the Stripe http API directly where the module is deficient, but it is very difficult to do this way. Stripe has support for several layers, including Node.js, PHP, CURL, but they do not document the ‘raw’ http fetch layer. I had to reverse engineer the API layer from the github for the Wix Stripe module code (and Stripe curl documentation) as best I could to call the missing APIs. Better, would be for Wix to simply update their NPM module to the latest published Stripe node.js code in guthub, which is linked from their NPM module. There is no way for us to do so directly.

Bump… any update from Wix engineering on a possible update of the Stripe NPM module to the latest and greatest available on Github? Many months out of date.
