React Native payment integrations have changed a lot since early checkout packages wrapped a few native payment APIs. For production apps today, Stripe's React Native SDK and PaymentSheet are the safer default for card payments, Apple Pay, Google Pay, saved payment methods, and multi-method checkout.
The mobile app should never own payment secrets. It presents checkout, receives client-safe values, and shows status. A secure backend creates PaymentIntents, validates amounts, handles webhooks, and finalizes orders.
