Stripe Payments

Use When

• Integrating Stripe for one-time payments, saved-card flows, or webhook receivers in a PHP or Node.js backend.
• Choosing between Stripe-hosted Checkout, Embedded Checkout, Payment Element, and raw Payment Intents.
• Hardening webhook handlers for signature verification, idempotency, and retry safety.
• Charging across currencies, handling SCA / 3D Secure, or wiring Stripe Tax.

Do Not Use When

• The work is recurring billing, plan changes, dunning, proration, metered usage, or revenue recognition. Use subscription-billing.
• The work is Stripe Connect, marketplaces, or split payments. Out of scope.
• Tax registration strategy and filing operations. Stripe Tax docs handle this directly.
