What it does

Comprehensive guide for Stripe integration decisions covering development environments, API selection (Checkout vs PaymentIntents), Connect platform setup, subscriptions, tax compliance, and security best practices. Reach for this when planning any Stripe implementation, choosing between integration patterns, setting up marketplaces, or reviewing payment architecture. References the latest Stripe API version (2026-09-30.endive) and SDK versions across all languages.

  • Choose between development environments: separate sandboxes for isolation vs shared test mode sandbox for existing integrations
  • Select the right API and integration approach: Checkout Sessions, PaymentIntents, Payment Element, or custom flows
  • Build marketplaces and multi-tenant platforms: Stripe Connect with Accounts v2 and controller property configuration
  • Implement tax compliance, subscriptions, and secure key management with webhooks and OAuth patterns
