Laravel Cashier provides subscription billing integration by installing the package, publishing migrations, and making your User model Billable. This enables you to manage recurring payments, subscription plans, trials, and customer billing through Stripe without building payment infrastructure from scratch.

Stripe webhooks notify your Laravel app of billing events like subscription renewals and payment failures. Cashier handles webhook verification and routing automatically; configure your webhook endpoint in Stripe's dashboard and Cashier processes events through built-in handlers you can customize.

Yes, Cashier handles subscription upgrades, downgrades, and prorations automatically. You can swap plans, adjust billing cycles, and apply credits—Stripe calculates prorated amounts and your Billable model tracks all subscription state changes.

Use Stripe Setup Intents through Cashier to securely store or update payment methods without charging. Cashier manages intent creation, verification, and default payment method assignment on your Billable model for frictionless payment updates.

Cashier retrieves invoices directly from Stripe and provides methods to access, download, or display them. All billing events automatically create invoices in Stripe; your app can fetch and expose them to customers through the Billable model.

Yes, Cashier integrates Stripe Checkout for one-time charges and Checkout sessions for flexible payment flows, plus the Billing Portal for customer self-service subscription and payment management without custom UI.
