Hello, we have a helpful doc on fulfilling checkout orders. The best two signals to listen for are:

1. The checkout.session.completed event
2. The customer returning to the success_url that you provided, at which point you can retrieve the Checkout Session and check its status
   https://docs.stripe.com/payments/checkout/fulfill-orders#create-event-handler

We typically recommend listening to checkout.session.completed no matter what. It is possible for the user to make a payment but have their connection cut out before they get back to your page, which would mean you could take a customer's money without being aware of it

Thank you for the advice! I will start listening for this endpoint as well

I was also looking for a way to retrieve the data even if this event is missed on our end. Is there no way to retrieve the items connected to payment intent or a charge? Or should I add it to the metadata when redirecting the user to stripe checkout

The Checkout Session still has a record of its line items. You can retrieve the session to get those. If you don't have the session ID, you can look up the session by payment intent
https://docs.stripe.com/api/checkout/sessions/list#list_checkout_sessions-payment_intent
If you want to do this with metadata on the payment intent, you can set that while creating your checkout session
https://docs.stripe.com/api/checkout/sessions/create#create_checkout_session-payment_intent_data-metadata

I think I can make the flow working with all of this

there might be more questions later. But i'll first see what I can make out of the docs
