Stripe Integration: Building Payment Flows

Stripe provides comprehensive payment infrastructure with careful integration requirements.

#stripe#payments#integration#fintech

Stripe handles payment complexity—card processing, subscriptions, fraud prevention. Proper integration requires understanding Payment Intents, webhooks, and error handling.

Payment Flows

Payment Intents manage the payment lifecycle. Create intents server-side. Confirm client-side with Elements. Handle authentication requirements like 3D Secure.

  • Create Payment Intents on your server
  • Use Stripe Elements for secure card collection
  • Handle 3D Secure authentication flows
  • Implement webhooks for reliable payment confirmation
  • Test with Stripe's test mode and cards

Webhook Handling

Webhooks notify of payment events. Verify signatures preventing spoofing. Handle events idempotently. Process asynchronously for reliability.
