Hello 👋
Ideally both. checkout.session.completed let's you know that the checkout session was successfully completed.

payment_intent.succeeded tells you when the underlying payment was successful

There might be a slight delay before payment_intent.succeeded for certain payment methods like ACH

so it sounds like the payment_intent.succeeded is the money in the bank part of the transaction?

just wondering whether there is a situation where one may be true but the other would be false.

other than time delay

Correct

just wondering whether there is a situation where one may be true but the other would be false.

It could be for delayed notification payment methods, they can fail asynchronously

ok. thanks for that.
