Yep, although the form posts to a secure URL: https://api.stripe.com/v1/tokens

Doesn't make it better tough, a MITM could change the action URL of the form.

MITM requires a man in the middle. For the most part, a state level adversary is required for a generalized MITM attack.

Yes, but that's not a general MITM attack as the NSA has pulled off. Only the folks at that particular coffee shop are placed at risk from this particular adversary.

Plenty of printing companies have APIs already (and much lower prices).

Can you list a few?

I've using Printing 4 Less. They've got one, and they're not exactly a big fish. I'd imagine most of these would: http://www.piworld.com/article/the-2015-printing-impressions...

not if it's pinned at the web app level.

Again, MITM. If you mean the front-end web (JS) app, MITM the request from the server to the client browser and replace the hardcoded submission url in the JS.

Not really. I used Play Framework which is also its own webserver. SSL is at both the app and webserver level.
