Hi 👋 they're largely for the different checkout experience provided. If you want to use a prebuilt checkout page that Stripe provides, you'll likely want to use Checkout Sessions. If you want to instead embed our Payment Element into your page for handling this, then you will want to work with the Subscription objects directly.

Okay. I have one more question. If we want multiple users to be able to see and modify the details of the same subscription (changing the credit card on file or the plan, etc.), is there support for that on Stripe's end or do we have to call Stripe's API using the customer ID?

Something like our Customer Portal?

Yes, can we set up access to the same subscription there for multiple users?

Multiple users seems like it's a concept in your system, so it's hard to say definitively without understanding what you mean. The answer is likely yes though.
crimson vigil
Essentially, a customer who is purchasing a subscription represents a business instead of an individual user, and we want to allow several employees of that business to be able to view and change the subscription details.

Then likely yes
