Laravel and Stripe checkout
According to the Stripe documentation, it's necessary to include stripe.js:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Buy cool new product</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
<script src="https://polyfill.io/v3/polyfill.min.js?version=3.52.1&features=fetch"></script>
<script src="https://js.stripe.com/v3/"></script>
</head>
<body>
<section>
<div class="product">
<img

alt="The cover of Stubborn Attachments"
/>
<div class="description">
<h3>Stubborn Attachments</h3>
<h5>.00</h5>
</div>
</div>
<form action="/create-checkout-session.php" method="POST">
<button type="submit" id="checkout-button">Checkout</button>
</form>
</section>
</body>
</html>
If you are using Laravel chachier Stripe to generate the session id, and then perform the redirect to the stripe hosted checkout page, it seems like the stripe.js isn't necessary.

Anyone know the purpose to load the stripe.js on the client side, when using Stripe Checkout?

@shaungbhone have seen it, but it covers Stripe Elements. I'm fiddling around with Stripe hosted Checkout. The hosted checkout works without including the stripe javascript, but all example code, including Stripe support tell it's mandatory to load the Stripe javascript. I can't see how it´s used.

@ekrist1 Stripe’s documentation doesn’t say anything about loading the JS SDK when redirecting server-side.
It’s not necessary, but will probably be recommended because having the JS SDK loaded will let Stripe monitor your website usage and look for patterns that’ll it’ll use for fraud detection.
