stripe

To integrate Stripe payments in a mobile app, follow guided setup patterns connecting your Node.js API server, client frontend, and database storage layers. You install the Stripe SDK, wire the client, and run startup sequences to initialize migrations and backfill data.

The best way to handle Stripe webhooks and database synchronization involves using dedicated migrations that automatically sync incoming webhook events to a dedicated stripe schema. This ensures data consistency without duplicating records across your application database.

Yes, you need a dedicated Postgres schema for Stripe data to enforce safe data flow. You should query Stripe's own stripe.* tables for read operations while avoiding direct writes into Stripe tables, preventing data duplication and flow breakages.

No, you should not manage Stripe products and prices directly in your own database. You must use the Stripe API for product and price management, and query the synchronized stripe.* tables for read operations to maintain data integrity.

Stripe integration duplicates data when direct writes occur into Stripe tables instead of using the API. Avoid breaking flows by querying the dedicated stripe schema for reads and managing entities exclusively through the Stripe API.

Writing directly to Stripe tables in Postgres breaks data synchronization and bypasses webhook event flows. You should avoid direct writes, strictly query the stripe.* schema for read operations, and manage entities via the Stripe API to ensure safe integration.
