# ET-PAY-006: PCI-DSS Architecture & Compliance
**Epic:** OQI-005 - Payments & Stripe
**Blocker:** BLOCKER-002 (ST4.2)
**Prioridad:** P0 - CRÍTICO
**Estado:** ✅ Implemented
---
## Resumen Ejecutivo
Arquitectura de pagos 100% PCI-DSS compliant usando Stripe como Payment Service Provider (PSP). El sistema **NUNCA maneja datos de tarjeta directamente**, delegando toda la tokenización y procesamiento a Stripe mediante Payment Intents y Elements.
---
## PCI-DSS Compliance Level
**Nivel:** SAQ-A (Self-Assessment Questionnaire A)
**Justificación:**
- Usamos Stripe como PSP hosted
- NO almacenamos, procesamos ni transmitimos datos de tarjeta
- Datos sensibles NUNCA tocan nuestros servidores
- Toda tokenización se hace vía Stripe.js client-side
**Resultado:** Menor carga de compliance (22 requisitos vs 300+ de PCI-DSS completo)

## Flujos de Pago Implementados
### 1. One-Time Payment (Deposit to Wallet)
**Componente:** `DepositForm.tsx`
**Flujo:**
```typescript
// STEP 1: User fills amount
const [amount, setAmount] = useState(100);
// STEP 2: Render Stripe CardElement (hosted iframe)
// STEP 3: Submit → Create Payment Intent backend
const response = await fetch('/api/v1/payments/wallet/deposit', {
method: 'POST',
body: JSON.stringify({
amount: 100,
currency: 'USD',
}),
});
const { clientSecret } = await response.json();
// STEP 4: Confirm payment with Stripe
const { error, paymentIntent } = await stripe.confirmCardPayment(
clientSecret,
{
payment_method: {
card: cardElement, // ← Stripe.js handles card data
},
}
);
// STEP 5: Success → Webhook updates database
if (paymentIntent.status === 'succeeded') {
// Show success message
}
```
**Backend (stripe.service.ts):**
```typescript
async createPaymentIntent(
userId: string,
amount: number,
currency: string = 'usd',
metadata: Record = {}
): Promise {
const customer = await this.getOrCreateCustomer(userId, email);
const paymentIntent = await stripe.paymentIntents.create({
amount: Math.round(amount * 100), // Convert to cents
currency,
customer: customer.stripeCustomerId,
metadata: { userId, ...metadata },
// NO card data here!
});
return paymentIntent;
}
```
**Archivo:** `apps/frontend/src/modules/investment/components/DepositForm.tsx`
**Estado:** ✅ PCI-DSS Compliant
---
### 2. Add Payment Method (Recurring Payments)
**Componente:** Stripe Customer Portal (hosted)
**Flujo:**
```typescript
// STEP 1: User clicks "Add Payment Method"
// STEP 2: Backend creates billing portal session
async function openBillingPortal(): Promise {
const response = await apiClient.post('/payments/billing-portal');
const { url } = response.data;
// STEP 3: Redirect to Stripe hosted portal
window.location.href = url;
}
// STEP 4: User adds card in Stripe portal
// (completely hosted by Stripe, NOT our domain)
// STEP 5: Stripe redirects back to our app
// return_url = 'https://our-app.com/billing'
// STEP 6: Webhook updates payment methods
// event: customer.payment_method.attached
```
**Backend (stripe.service.ts):**
```typescript
async createBillingPortalSession(userId: string): Promise {
const customer = await this.getOrCreateCustomer(userId, email);
const session = await stripe.billingPortal.sessions.create({
customer: customer.stripeCustomerId,
return_url: `${process.env.FRONTEND_URL}/billing`,
});
return session.url;
}
```
**Archivo:** `apps/frontend/src/modules/payments/pages/Billing.tsx` (líneas 214-220)
**Estado:** ✅ PCI-DSS Compliant
---
## Componentes Frontend
### ✅ SEGURO: StripeElementsWrapper
**Archivo:** `apps/frontend/src/components/payments/StripeElementsWrapper.tsx`
**Propósito:** Provider para Stripe Elements (React Context)
**Features:**
- Carga Stripe.js desde CDN oficial
- Configura tema oscuro customizado
- Maneja errores y loading states
- HOC `withStripeElements()` para wrapping
**Uso:**
```typescript
import { StripeElementsWrapper } from '@/components/payments';
```
**PCI-DSS:** ✅ Compliant
---
### ✅ SEGURO: DepositForm
**Archivo:** `apps/frontend/src/modules/investment/components/DepositForm.tsx`
**Propósito:** Formulario de depósito a wallet con Stripe CardElement
**Features:**
- Usa `` de `@stripe/react-stripe-js`
- Llama Payment Intent backend
- Confirma pago con `stripe.confirmCardPayment()`
- NO maneja datos de tarjeta en estado
**Código clave:**
```typescript
import { CardElement, useStripe, useElements } from '@stripe/react-stripe-js';
// Render card input (Stripe hosted iframe)
// Confirm payment
const cardElement = elements.getElement(CardElement);
const { error, paymentIntent } = await stripe.confirmCardPayment(
clientSecret,
{
payment_method: {
card: cardElement, // ← Stripe.js handles tokenization
},
}
);
```
**Mensaje de seguridad (línea 260):**
> "Your payment is secured by Stripe. We never store your card details."
**PCI-DSS:** ✅ Compliant
---
### ✅ SEGURO: Billing Page
**Archivo:** `apps/frontend/src/modules/payments/pages/Billing.tsx`
**Propósito:** Gestión de suscripciones, métodos de pago, facturas
**Features:**
- Usa Stripe Customer Portal para agregar métodos de pago
- Lista métodos de pago existentes (solo últimos 4 dígitos)
- Gestión de suscripciones
- Wallet management
**Código clave:**
```typescript
// Add payment method → Redirect to Stripe portal
```
**PCI-DSS:** ✅ Compliant
---
### ❌ ELIMINADO: PaymentMethodForm (Legacy)
**Archivo:** `src/components/payments/PaymentMethodForm.tsx` (DELETED)
**Razón de eliminación:**
- ❌ Violaba PCI-DSS Requirement 3 (almacenaba PAN, CVV, expiración en estado)
- ❌ Violaba PCI-DSS Requirement 4 (enviaba datos raw al backend)
- ❌ Violaba PCI-DSS Requirement 6 (código inseguro)
**Commit:** `3f98938` (ST4.2.1)
**Estado:** ❌ ELIMINADO (código inseguro)
---
## Backend Implementation
### 1. Payment Intents
**Archivo:** `apps/backend/src/modules/payments/services/stripe.service.ts`
**Métodos:**
```typescript
/**
* Create Payment Intent (server-side)
* Returns clientSecret to frontend
*/
async createPaymentIntent(
userId: string,
amount: number,
currency: string = 'usd',
metadata: Record = {}
): Promise {
const customer = await this.getOrCreateCustomer(userId, email);
const paymentIntent = await stripe.paymentIntents.create({
amount: Math.round(amount * 100),
currency,
customer: customer.stripeCustomerId,
metadata: { userId, ...metadata },
automatic_payment_methods: {
enabled: true,
},
});
return paymentIntent;
}
/**
* Confirm Payment Intent (server-side, optional)
* Used for server-side confirmation flows
*/
async confirmPaymentIntent(
paymentIntentId: string
): Promise {
const paymentIntent = await stripe.paymentIntents.confirm(paymentIntentId);
return paymentIntent;
}
```
**PCI-DSS:** ✅ Compliant (no maneja datos de tarjeta)
---
### 2. Webhooks
**Archivo:** `apps/backend/src/modules/payments/controllers/payments.controller.ts`
**Handler:**
```typescript
export async function handleStripeWebhook(
req: Request,
res: Response,
next: NextFunction
): Promise {
try {
// CRITICAL: Verify webhook signature
const signature = req.headers['stripe-signature'] as string;
const event = stripeService.constructWebhookEvent(req.body, signature);
switch (event.type) {
case 'payment_intent.succeeded': {
const paymentIntent = event.data.object as Stripe.PaymentIntent;
await handlePaymentSuccess(paymentIntent);
break;
}
case 'payment_intent.payment_failed': {
const paymentIntent = event.data.object as Stripe.PaymentIntent;
await handlePaymentFailure(paymentIntent);
break;
}
case 'customer.subscription.created':
case 'customer.subscription.updated': {
const subscription = event.data.object as Stripe.Subscription;
await handleSubscriptionUpdate(subscription);
break;
}
case 'customer.subscription.deleted': {
const subscription = event.data.object as Stripe.Subscription;
await handleSubscriptionCancellation(subscription);
break;
}
case 'invoice.paid': {
const invoice = event.data.object as Stripe.Invoice;
await handleInvoicePaid(invoice);
break;
}
case 'invoice.payment_failed': {
const invoice = event.data.object as Stripe.Invoice;
await handleInvoicePaymentFailed(invoice);
break;
}
default:
console.log(`Unhandled event type: ${event.type}`);
}
res.json({ received: true });
} catch (error) {
console.error('Webhook error:', error);
next(error);
}
}
```
**Seguridad:**
- ✅ Verifica firma del webhook usando `stripe.webhooks.constructEvent()`
- ✅ Usa endpoint secret (`STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRET`)
- ✅ Previene webhook spoofing
**PCI-DSS:** ✅ Compliant
---
### 3. Routes
**Archivo:** `apps/backend/src/modules/payments/payments.routes.ts`
```typescript
// Webhook endpoint (raw body required for signature verification)
router.post('/webhook', express.raw({ type: 'application/json' }), handleStripeWebhook);
// Payment Intent creation
router.post('/wallet/deposit', authenticate, createDepositPaymentIntent);
// Billing portal
router.post('/billing-portal', authenticate, createBillingPortalSession);
```
**PCI-DSS:** ✅ Compliant

---
## Common Violations (❌ AVOID)
### ❌ NUNCA HAGAS ESTO:
#### 1. Inputs Directos para Datos de Tarjeta
```typescript
// ❌ WRONG: PCI-DSS VIOLATION
setCardNumber(e.target.value)}
placeholder="1234 5678 9012 3456"
/>
```
**Por qué está mal:**
- Datos de tarjeta en memoria (estado React)
- Tu código JavaScript puede acceder al PAN
- Violación PCI-DSS Requirement 3
#### 2. Enviar Datos Raw al Backend
```typescript
// ❌ WRONG: PCI-DSS VIOLATION
await fetch('/api/payments', {
method: 'POST',
body: JSON.stringify({
cardNumber: '4242424242424242',
cvv: '123',
expMonth: '12',
expYear: '2025',
}),
});
```
**Por qué está mal:**
- Datos sensibles en network request
- Tu backend recibe PAN completo
- Violación PCI-DSS Requirement 4
#### 3. Almacenar Datos de Tarjeta
```typescript
// ❌ WRONG: PCI-DSS VIOLATION
localStorage.setItem('cardNumber', cardNumber);
```
**Por qué está mal:**
- Persistencia de datos sensibles
- Accesible vía JavaScript
- Violación PCI-DSS Requirement 3
---
## ✅ Best Practices
### 1. Usar Stripe Elements
```typescript
// ✅ CORRECT: PCI-DSS COMPLIANT
import { CardElement } from '@stripe/react-stripe-js';
```
**Por qué está bien:**
- Stripe.js maneja datos de tarjeta en iframe
- Tu código NUNCA toca el PAN
- Stripe hace la tokenización
### 2. Payment Intents Server-Side
```typescript
// ✅ CORRECT: Backend creates Payment Intent
const paymentIntent = await stripe.paymentIntents.create({
amount: 1000,
currency: 'usd',
customer: customerId,
});
// Return ONLY clientSecret to frontend
res.json({ clientSecret: paymentIntent.client_secret });
```
**Por qué está bien:**
- Backend controla el monto (no puede ser manipulado)
- Frontend solo recibe clientSecret (no es sensible)
### 3. Confirmar Pago Client-Side
```typescript
// ✅ CORRECT: Frontend confirms with Stripe
const { error, paymentIntent } = await stripe.confirmCardPayment(
clientSecret,
{
payment_method: {
card: cardElement, // Stripe.js maneja tokenización
},
}
);
```
**Por qué está bien:**
- Datos de tarjeta solo van a Stripe (nunca a tu backend)
- Stripe retorna PaymentMethod ID tokenizado
---
## Testing Guide
### Unit Tests
```typescript
// Test: Payment Intent creation
it('should create payment intent with correct amount', async () => {
const intent = await stripeService.createPaymentIntent(
userId,
100.00,
'usd',
{ type: 'wallet_deposit' }
);
expect(intent.amount).toBe(10000); // $100 = 10000 cents
expect(intent.currency).toBe('usd');
expect(intent.customer).toBe(stripeCustomerId);
});
// Test: Webhook signature validation
it('should reject webhook with invalid signature', async () => {
const invalidSignature = 'fake_signature';
const response = await request(app)
.post('/api/v1/payments/webhook')
.set('stripe-signature', invalidSignature)
.send(webhookPayload);
expect(response.status).toBe(400);
});
```
### E2E Tests (Playwright)
```typescript
// Test: Deposit flow
test('should complete deposit with valid card', async ({ page }) => {
// 1. Navigate to deposit page
await page.goto('/investment/deposit');
// 2. Fill amount
await page.fill('[name="amount"]', '100');
// 3. Fill Stripe CardElement (test mode)
const cardFrame = page.frameLocator('iframe[name^="__privateStripeFrame"]');
await cardFrame.locator('[name="cardnumber"]').fill('4242424242424242');
await cardFrame.locator('[name="exp-date"]').fill('12/25');
await cardFrame.locator('[name="cvc"]').fill('123');
// 4. Submit
await page.click('button[type="submit"]');
// 5. Verify success
await expect(page.locator('text=Deposit Successful')).toBeVisible();
});
```
### Manual Testing (Stripe Test Mode)
**Test Cards:**
- **Success:** `4242 4242 4242 4242`
- **Declined:** `4000 0000 0000 0002`
- **Auth Required:** `4000 0025 0000 3155`
**CVC:** Any 3 digits (123)
**Expiry:** Any future date (12/25)
---
## Monitoring & Logging
### Metrics to Track
```typescript
// Payment success rate
payment_success_rate = successful_payments / total_attempts
// Average processing time
payment_processing_time_avg
// Webhook processing time
webhook_processing_time_avg
// Failed payments by reason
payment_failures_by_reason
```
### Logs (Safe)
```typescript
// ✅ SAFE TO LOG
console.log('[PAYMENT] Payment Intent created', {
userId,
amount: paymentIntent.amount,
currency: paymentIntent.currency,
paymentIntentId: paymentIntent.id,
timestamp: new Date().toISOString(),
});
// ❌ NEVER LOG
console.log('[PAYMENT] Card details', {
cardNumber: '4242...', // ❌ NO
cvv: '123', // ❌ NO
});
```
---
## Developer Guidelines
### Adding New Payment Flow
1. **Design flow:**
- Identify if one-time or recurring
- Choose: Payment Intent (one-time) or Setup Intent (recurring)
2. **Frontend:**
- Use `StripeElementsWrapper` + `CardElement`
- Never create custom inputs for card data
- Call backend to create Intent
- Confirm with `stripe.confirmCardPayment()`
3. **Backend:**
- Create Payment Intent server-side
- Return `clientSecret` only
- Handle webhook for success/failure
4. **Test:**
- Use Stripe test cards
- Verify webhook received
- Check database updated correctly
### Code Review Checklist
- [ ] NO custom inputs for card data
- [ ] Uses CardElement or Customer Portal
- [ ] Payment Intent created server-side
- [ ] Webhook signature validated
- [ ] No sensitive data in logs
- [ ] Tests pass (unit + E2E)
- [ ] PCI-DSS compliant
