Stripe Integration Mastery

Stop copying Stripe docs and hoping it works. This skill gives your AI agent battle-tested patterns for every Stripe integration scenario.

Built from real production experience -- not documentation summaries. Every pattern has been deployed, debugged, and hardened in live payment flows handling real money.

What your agent learns:

Checkout Sessions -- Create payment flows with proper success/cancel URLs, session verification, and metadata handling. No more broken post-purchase pages.

Subscriptions -- Set up recurring billing with proper trial periods, proration, cancellation flows, and dunning management.

Webhooks -- Handle payment events correctly with idempotent processing, signature verification, and proper error recovery. Never miss a payment event.

Session Verification -- Validate purchases server-side before delivering content. Prevent URL sharing and unauthorized access to paid resources.

Revenue Tracking -- Query charges, payment intents, and checkout sessions to build dashboards and reconcile payments.

Security Patterns -- Proper API key management, webhook signature verification, PCI compliance patterns, and error handling that does not leak sensitive data.

Real patterns included:

• Serverless checkout (Vercel/Netlify/Cloudflare Workers)
• Session-verified digital delivery (PDFs, files, API access)
• Abandoned cart detection and recovery
• Multi-product storefronts
• Stripe Customer portal integration
• Test mode to live mode migration checklist

Every pattern comes with the gotchas documented -- the things that break at 2am that the docs do not mention.
