Using stripe in Python standalone application

Question

0.00/5 (No votes)

So I've been asked to make a standalone kiosk application in Python for a company.
I've pretty much finished the application but I noticed something odd that temporarily flagged my continuation with the program.
There are absolutely NO other Python standalone applications using Stripe (or any other payment service) as their payment gateway.
What I mean by this is, there are no Github/Hastebins of other developers making a simple form application that accepts payments and processes a sale. Is there a reason for this? Or are those just not publicly shared due to security reasons

What I have tried:

I've taken several PCI-Compliance courses and follow all guidelines for it, ensuring the kiosk is secure, protecting the payment data, etc. I guess my question is, am I missing some big rule?

"Is there are a reason for this?"
Yes, but how would we know what that reason is?

I assume that within a community of a few hundred thousand developers, someone would have an answer.

That may be true but it rather depends on how many people are using "Stripe", something I have never heard of. But rather the issue is that you are asking whether there is a reason for something not happening.

I must've posted on the wrong site then? I figured this was a Q/A forum for developers dealing with questions from A-Z. Stripe is a payment processing platform used by hundreds of thousands, if not millions of companies. My question is simply asking, is there any kind of restriction against using Stripe in your standalone application?
