I'm not sure I understand Stripe's value proposition here. What is the benefit of using Stripe's library over using ApplePay (PassKit) directly? (Honest question)

You can't use Apple Pay directly: you have to use it with a supported payment platform. (List is at https://developer.apple.com/apple-pay/.)

It's great to see Stripe endorsing Apple Pay. But from a dev standpoint, how difficult is it to integrate?

Stripe? A breeze. At least in comparison to other payment providers (I've worked with stripe, auth.net, and paypal.)

I presume from what I've read/seen, ApplePay will be app-only (i.e. iOS) for launch. But I've got to imagine they (as in, Apple and Stripe) will integrate with web-based payment forms as step 2.

Or, should I say, "I hope"...

I guess the Stripe's value proposition for developers is that they don't have to maintain or support several payment platforms. Just one, Stripe and there they integrate all of them ( Credit Cards, Apple Pay, etc.)
