What is the best way to structure Stripe CheckoutSessions and PaymentIntents for secure payments?

Follow official Stripe integration guidelines using CheckoutSessions and PaymentIntents to build secure payments. Aligning with these recommended APIs avoids deprecated endpoints and ensures compliant transaction workflows.

How do I handle Stripe webhooks for subscriptions and billing correctly?

Handle Stripe webhooks by aligning your implementation with the official Billing APIs and webhook workflows. This ensures your subscription management receives event notifications securely without relying on deprecated or insecure integration patterns.
