hello! We don't really have any specific way to recommend since Stripe itself doesn't do inventory management.

I think there's probably many ways to go about this. For example, if you have a queue system in your backend to process whether inventory can be added to the cart, you can check the stock before successfully adding to the cart. Another approach, while it doesn’t specifically prevent the race condition, is to use manual capture. This way, you can capture the payment only when you’re sure you have the stock to fulfill the order.

hi

Thank you for your response.
You’re right—Stripe itself doesn’t handle inventory management…

So basically, you’re suggesting something like checking the stock before adding an item to the cart, right?

yep, check the stock before adding an item to the cart is one way to go about it.

Another way that comes to mind is allow customers to add to cart, but check and update the stock during payment, and reflect that an item is OOS on other customers' cart if so. Again, this would use a queue system to prevent a race condition.
