Hi. I have a few questions and I'm going to ask them itemized to make sure I get a clear answer.
Q1. I want to register my card information from a user, issue a token, and store it in the server's DB so that the user can continue to pay via token in the future, but the server should not receive the card information directly. What should I do?
Q2. I receive a webhook when the payment is completed, can I receive the token from there?
Q3. I want to trigger a payment at a random time on the server using the token stored in the DB. Which API should I use to process the payment?
Q4. I need to notify the user to register a new card when the user's card information has expired or there is a problem with the card. How should I do this?
Q5. If you have any additional documentation that I can refer to, I would appreciate it.

Q1. I want to register my card information from a user, issue a token, and store it in the server's DB so that the user can continue to pay via token in the future, but the server should not receive the card information directly. What should I do?
The guide goes through how to do this in detail. I really recommend reading through the guide first.
Q2. I receive a webhook when the payment is completed, can I receive the token from there?
In Stripe, this "token" is typically know as a PaymentMethod. You can see the PaymentMethod id in the webhook when the payment is completed.
Q3. I want to trigger a payment at a random time on the server using the token stored in the DB. Which API should I use to process the payment?
How you determine the random time is up to you. The steps to do so is covered in this section : https://docs.stripe.com/payments/save-and-reuse?platform=web&ui=stripe-hosted#charge-saved-payment-method
Q4. I need to notify the user to register a new card when the user's card information has expired or there is a problem with the card. How should I do this?
Stripe provides a Card Account Updater service so in most cases, you don't need to notify the user to register a new card. If the card is declined though, you can send an email to the customer to come back on-session (on your site) to provide new card details (as per your step 1).
Q5. If you have any additional documentation that I can refer to, I would appreciate it.
If you have other questions, I can point you to the relevant documentation. The first guide that I shared is what you would want to start off with though.

hello. I have reviewed the document you forwarded to me and have some additional questions.
When using the Checkout Session API, setting the mode to setup seems to be a way to save the card information and process the payment later.
Q6. How can I create a payment window with mode as payment via Checkout Session API to perform payment and extract paymentMethodId from it when checkout.session.completed webhook comes?
I want to save the card information at the same time as the payment and process the payment with the paymentMethodId next time.
