stripe

To sync Stripe subscription billing with PostgreSQL, you need to run database migrations and use a managed webhook processor to backfill and propagate product, price, and subscription data into a local stripe schema while keeping Stripe as the source of truth.

Registering the Stripe webhook route before express.json is required to forward raw payloads to the webhook processor, preventing broken payment setups by ensuring the raw request body is available for secure webhook signature verification.

Creating Stripe checkout sessions using a sync-first database design involves using an authenticated Stripe client for write operations and a storage or read pattern to query synced products and prices from the local PostgreSQL stripe schema.

No, you should not insert directly into PostgreSQL stripe tables. The correct safe product creation workflow relies on idempotent scripts in development and managed webhooks to propagate subscription and billing changes to the database.

The best way to set up Stripe payments with webhooks in Express is to install the required packages, initialize runMigrations and getStripeSync, and register a raw-body webhook route to keep your PostgreSQL database synchronized with billing entities.
