I recently created an app for a charity that used STRIPE to collect Carbon Offsetting payments.
The Android version had no problems. Unfortunately, Apple rejected the app, for being an Unacceptable business Model.
I chose option number 1, SFSafariViewController.
This view controller is not available by default. After a bit of digging I came up with the following code
The code takes a panel within which the sfSfariViewController is created. This allows me to use the panel in the in a layout.
2 events are raised:
I then run Stripe in the window
This is the minimum I had to do to get it working for my use case. Perhaps the community would like to extend.
It's not as good as using the STRIPE API calls directly from a customer experience point of view, but you do get Apple Pay integration for free.
If I get the chance, I will wrap the whole thing as an XUI Customview to remove the need for the separate panel.
If you are interested in offsetting your travel, the app is now in the stores, just search for "ecolibrium"

- safarievent - When the "Done" button is pressed. This also removes the sfSafariViewController from the panel.
