Screen Stripe payments for OFAC sanctions

Add sanctions screening to your Stripe payment flow.

Before creating a charge

const stripe = require('stripe')(process.env.STRIPE_KEY);

async function createChargeWithScreening(amount, currency, customer) {
    // Screen customer name before charging
    const resp = await fetch(
        `https://sanctionsai.dev/sanctions?name=${encodeURIComponent(customer.name)}`
    );
    const result = await resp.json();
    
    if (result.blocked) {
        throw new Error("Customer matches OFAC SDN list");
    }
    
    // Safe to charge
    return await stripe.paymentIntents.create({
        amount, currency, customer: customer.id
    });
}
