does the client support payment over messaging?

I looks like from the documentation that smooch supports payments via stripe? Which part of the documentation for the ruby client describes this?
I am having difficulty finding that, thanks@!
Once you have enabled Stripe on your app from the Smooch marketplace, you can use the use the post_message method to send a message with an action of type buy.
More information about buy actions: https://docs.smooch.io/rest/#buy
I can use the "markdown" to create the payment button as well?

Yes if you include the payment button syntax in your message text it will be parsed into a buy action
Hi, so it looks like it takes it to a smooch.io page....is there a way to use a custom domain for that (I can create a redirect page rule in Cloudflare if I can change the base URL)...I don't think customers would continue if they go from my app to being asked permission to go to a smooch.io URL....
The altnerative looks like creating my own button to my own stripe page...?

Can you elaborate on what kind of "app" you're talking about? Our native SDKs (iOS, Android, and Web) all have built-in support for payment buttons, it shouldn't take you to any external URL. Here's what it looks like on iOS, taken from https://docs.smooch.io/guide/stripe-payments/:
For other integrations, it would indeed take you to a smooch.io URL though, we don't have an option to customize the location of that page. The alternative would be to not use our Stripe integration, and instead send a link action with a URL to whatever payment page you choose
This is all within Messenger going to a hosted Stripe checkout.....looks like I would need to use the "link" action
