Hi @sand estuary! Sorry for the delay. I'm juggling a few other threads and I'm just now circling back to look at this

Can someone give me a rough overview about how to integrate stripe smoothly into such an app?
I'm not sure what to advise here, as there are a myriad of different ways to integrate Stripe. It all has to do with the specifics of what you're wanting to do and what technologies (languages, frameworks, etc.) you're using to build your app.

Can you give me a synopsis of what your app does and how you want it to accept payments?

Also giving me a brief rundown of how money will flow is helpful (e.g. consumer pays me, I pay a business via Stripe, that business pays out to their bank)

its an uwp app written in c# and runs locally on the users pc. the customer would have to pay for the usage of the app.

Okay and also:

i guess the flow of money would be from the user to stripe to my bank?

[still sequoia]

Got it. Do you have any specific questions? Stripe is a SaaS company that offers an API for handling accepting and paying out money via the internet. An app like what you've described would just need to be able to make HTTP requests through the internet via a client-side interface. This type of flow is fairly well-documented, but I'm happy to answer any questions you have about the specifics.

would this also work for subscriptions? where my app could request the subscription status of a user from stripe?

[still sequoia]

Yup! You could use webhooks to monitor transitions too, if you want everything fully automated.

ok thank you very much! it think you pointed my in the right direction.
sorry for these possibly stupid questions, i never used a service like stripe before.

one final request: could you point me to the parts of the documentation that are most important for what i am trying to do?

[still sequoia]

No worries! That's what we're here for. I just don't want to accidentally point you in the wrong direction
