Stripe

Building a SaaS based product often includes a pricing page and a payment process. While there are many payment vendors you can choose to integrate with, StarterStack comes with a minimal Stripe implemenation to get you started. There are several ways to integrate with Stripe. This integration assumes the following approach:

1. you are creating a Stripe hosted checkout page
2. you have created your products in Stripe

With that in mind, StarterStack provides a pricing plan page that connects to the /products api which connects to your Stripe account to retrieve your producs. When a user selects a product, the /checkout api is called which creates a Stripe payment intent and redirects the user to your Stripe hosted checkout page. Once the user has completed the checkout page, Stripe will begin sending events to the StarterStack /webhook. This webhook receives standard Stripe payment events passing them along to event handlers for processing. This follows the standard Stripe process.
