so I've been reading them

#

i see the demos, etc. looks like what I'm hunting for

#

before I go down the rabbit hole, I wanted to first check with the community and see if I'm looking at the correct way

#

I have a 3-tier payment for a single product, and some will likely want recurring (subscription) and others 1-time payment...but it's 1 product with good-better-best set of prices.

#

I don't really want to setup my own web pages to host all of it, so my thinking was something like this:

#

i notify the customer they need to make a payment, and give them a URL (to stripe)...they go there, make a payment, and I get a return message (event, webhook, notification, etc) which tells me some details about the transaction, so I can record just the minimum info in my database. (which discord user or server or whatever, but not the payment details)

#

so i was thinking about the stripe demo code on the subscription as my basis, and want to ensure I understand the comms mechanism between stripe and me, and if/what I should leverage on the sample code vs. customize. I don't think I need much.

Gotcha, that sounds like a plan. So the main question right now is how to receive that notification after the payment?

#

Happy to help with any part of that, just want to make sure I know what info you are looking for

#

so I assume that if I use that standard sample, I can login to my Stripe account, and setup some customized look and feel (payment methods, Icon for my business, etc).

#

Then i think I need to understand 2 things. First, I will have a URL that points to my storefront on Stripe.com, I'll need to understand the format I use to give my customers. (for example they will have an ID I want to pass through this URL and receive back, which identifies them)...

#

Second, there will be the notification. The docs talk about delayed payment timing, so use webhooks....wouldn't just listening for confirmed payments be ok?

#

(like I don't get why have an event listener, and a webhook....why not just listen for events, no matter when the payment finalizes?)
