This is what I intend to do, but I'm unclear if I can use stripe sesssion this way
1. **Stripe Payment**:
Create Order → Create Stripe Session → Customer Pays via Stripe → Webhook → Update Order
2. **Third Party Payment** (e.g., Crypto):
Create Order → Create Stripe Session (tracking only) →
Customer Pays via Third Party →
Verify Third Party Payment →
Mark Stripe Session as Complete →
Webhook → Update Order
This way:
- Stripe sessions provide consistent checkout flow tracking
- Payment processing can happen anywhere
- Single webhook system for order status updates
- Unified order management

Then you don't need a Checkout Session. Checkout Session is primarily for accepting payments via the Session provided interface. You probably just want an Invoice, and then mark it is paid out_of_band
grim steppe
but we still want to use the address elements , discounts, tax calculations, cart creation. invoice doenst' sound like the right thing.
verbal bough
Umm but then Checkout Session can only be paid on its UI. Sorry
verbal bough
Yeah there is PaymentElements, which can have an external payment method you defined, and controlled
grim steppe
yeah but using the checkout session api. what do you check out session? The client side form like paymentelement cannot be modified.
verbal bough
We have a few options alongside Checkout here, but I think none of them can accept payment paid outside
