FAQPage Schema

What is the best way to handle Stripe PaymentIntents for on-session and off-session payments?▼

Stripe PaymentIntents handle on-session and off-session payments by securely capturing funds. For on-session flows, use SetupIntents to save payment methods for future off-session charges without requiring immediate customer authentication.

How do I migrate from the legacy Stripe Charges API to scalable payment integrations?▼

Migrating from the Stripe Charges API requires adopting PaymentIntents and CheckoutSessions. This migration ensures scalable, PCI-compliant payment flows by replacing direct charge calls with authenticated payment intent objects.

Does my Stripe CheckoutSession integration need dynamic payment methods to go live?▼

Yes, a Stripe CheckoutSession integration requires dynamic payment methods to go live. Enabling dynamic payment methods via the dashboard ensures your checkout adapts to regional availability and compliant scaling requirements.

How do I build a Stripe Connect platform flow for SaaS billing?▼

Build Stripe Connect platform flows for SaaS billing by routing payments between platform and connected accounts. Use CheckoutSessions or PaymentIntents with destination charges to manage multi-party money movement securely.

When should I use Stripe SetupIntents instead of PaymentIntents for billing?▼

Use Stripe SetupIntents instead of PaymentIntents when you need to securely save payment method details for future off-session billing. SetupIntents authenticate and save customer cards without triggering an immediate charge.
