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.
