HI 👋

Sounds like subscriptions are what you're looking for:

Yep, I've been looking into it - it just looks like a lot of apis to call, and objects to handle

#

I was hoping I could manage product, price and billing issues all through the dashboard

#

And just have a webhook trigger to reflect the status of the subscription to my db

Depending on the amount of functionality you need, a no or low-code approach sounds like it may be what you're looking for. The above guide uses Checkout Sessions, which is our low-code approach.

We also have Payment Links and Pricing Tables available as easier paths:

Share payment links

Accept payments without building a digital storefront.

Embeddable pricing table for SaaS businesses

Display a pricing table on your website and take customers directly to Stripe Checkout.

Thanks for the help!

Am I correct in assuming that stripe sends triggers regardless of your solution?

So I can just create a stripe customer for my user on attempted checkout, and redirect them to the payment link

Then stripe triggers send pricing plan & subscription status info to my webhook

Yup, webhook events are generated and sent regardless of the integration path your select, as long as you have a webhook endpoint set up to listen for that type of event.

You may see slightly different types of events depending on the exact path you decide to use, but you can run through a test flow of it and then check your dashboard to see all of the events that were generated:
https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/events

Sweet, Is there any info on what triggers get sent for payment links

compact crater

There will be quite a few depending on what you're selling with the Payment Link.

For Subscriptions, you'll see events related to:

  • Checkout Sessions
  • Customers
  • Subscriptions
  • Invoices
  • Payment Intents
  • Charges

You can see a full list of event types with a description of what triggers each in our API spec:
https://stripe.com/docs/api/events/types?lang=java
