It seems to be your personal project. It would be nice if GNU project would be providing support straight from packages. FSF is also accepting donations and supporting back free software creation. Regarding Stripe: Credit card processing was possible even before Javascript. For any credit card processing with non-free Javascript I would not recommend people there. There are companies that will accept credit cards without non-free Javascript. I would not recommend people to go to Stripe. Jean
