I keep having these ideas of a steam like interface for transfering money and buying virtual items, but I can't for the life of me figure out how i would go about it other then a basic flask mongo db set up which would be ripe for malicious attacks

In that case django is better. It has builtin csrf tokens

Oh gawd… Django’s fine if you’re inclined that way… besides that, I assume you have access to a search engine via e.g. the browser? Try using that to figure out how to implement it securely. If you’re better at ”googling” than the average gorilla, you’ll find your answers eventually. Good luck…
