Hi Spencer, You probably do want to redirect your users to PayPal to process the payment. The reason is that if your server ever sees a credit card number pass through it then you have to become PCI compliant which is a royal pain in the butt, and not at all worth the cost compared to the benefit you would get for it at this stage.
It looks like this Stripe processor is being a bit more fancy because instead of actually opening a page on their site it is doing some sort of cross-domain AJAX thing to send the data to their servers. It may be possible to do your own cross-domain AJAXy thing with other payment processors, I don't know. Usually they are not setup to do that, though, and it may not be worth all the trouble to implement that. Usually you can customize the appearance of your pages on the payment processor's server, although the degree to which you can varies a lot from one gateway to another. Anyway, you can avoid getting caught up in PCI compliance headaches by ensuring that you never have a credit card number reach any of your own servers, and I believe it's well worth it. Good luck!
