What languages do I really need for back-end?

Question

Hi, I wanna develop a site which allows users to purchase digital items (instant delivery) without needing to create an account. So I was wondering which languages I really need for the backend. I was thinking PHP and MySQL but I'm not sure if that's all I need. Also, can I do back-end with Python?

Answer 1

Well if you are not concerned about recording the user details in your website, nor you want to keep track of user purchase, then you can create a normal product listing webiste, and later integrate some payment gateway system, there's lot of payment providers, which gives you an api, through which the payment will be proceeded, although forms and required details you need to manage on your application.. but some payment comapnies now provide a payment client module, which you can use. The benefits are that, you don't have to worry about creating payment module separately, your website will redirect the user directly to the client module, and form there the client module will take care of the security of the transaction.
I would recommend Stripe, or RazorPay for payment gateways.

Answer 2

Some knowledge about html css and js is also required.

And in the end you also need some knowledge about security because you work with money there
