👋 Thanks for reaching out
You need to do more custom coding, using Stripe webhook is the right way to do post checkout treatments

[eternal gale]

is the example link I posted a good starting point for that use case starting a subscription for a brand new customer?

[queen laurel]

Yes, but also you can refer to this one too:

Thanks so much, last question so I'm sure I understand what to do next. As far as basic architecture goes for my React - PHP code, is it:

1. The React code redirects 'mywebsite.com' to 'mywebsite.com/handle-checkout.php' in a new tab

on that php page, you use the Stripe PHP API to create a new customer for them and show the credit card page

2. once successful, redirect to 'mywebsite.com/success.php' and there start the webhook and create the SaaS database, show them a button to click to redirect to their new login page

Is this mostly correct?

In essence, you leave the React pages to fully display HTML created using PHP code

[queen laurel]

Yes

and for the webhook part, you can start by checking this quick start php project:
