Stripe Documentation Won't Tell You What Actually Works
Should you use Checkout or Elements? How do you handle subscription upgrades? What about failed payment recovery? Get answers from a team that has shipped Stripe in 30+ products and knows every edge case.
What You Get in 90 Minutes
A focused session covering exactly what you need. No generic advice, no upsells.
Payment flow architecture review
We map your checkout flow, identify the right Stripe products for your use case, and flag gaps before they become production bugs.
Subscription model strategy
Trial periods, plan tiers, proration logic, annual vs monthly, upgrade/downgrade flows. We design the right model for your business.
Webhook implementation plan
Idempotency keys, signature verification, retry-safe event processing, dead-letter queues. We walk through the full webhook architecture your implementation needs.
Failed payment recovery design
Smart Retries configuration, dunning email sequences, grace period logic, in-app prompts. The difference between 60% and 94% subscription renewal rates.
PCI compliance guidance
Stripe Elements vs Checkout tradeoffs, secure card data handling, logging and error reporting audit, environment variable best practices.
Multi-currency & Stripe Tax
Presentment vs settlement currency, EU VAT, US sales tax registration, tax-inclusive pricing, invoice tax reporting for international SaaS.
Stripe Connect architecture
Express vs Custom vs Standard accounts, KYC requirements, transfer logic, application fees, and payout scheduling for marketplace and platform founders.
Mobile billing strategy
Apple StoreKit, Google Play Billing, and Stripe for web. We show you how to combine all three and keep subscription state synced across platforms.
Fraud prevention & risk management
Radar rules, 3D Secure configuration, dispute prevention, and chargeback monitoring to protect revenue without adding friction at checkout.
Integration timeline & cost estimates
Honest scoping of your Stripe work covering what it takes to build properly, what to defer, and what to watch out for during implementation.
Code review (if needed)
Share your screen and we walk through your existing implementation. Identify webhook gaps, subscription state bugs, and PCI scope issues live.
Written action plan (24hr follow-up)
Full written summary of recommendations, architecture decisions, prioritised task list, and links to relevant Stripe documentation.
Who This Consultation Is For
Most clients fall into one of three situations.
Building from scratch
You're about to start Stripe integration and want to make the right architecture decisions upfront, before spending weeks building something that breaks in production.
Existing integration is broken
Subscription renewals failing silently. Webhooks duplicating orders. A customer dispute revealed your refund flow doesn't exist. You need expert eyes on the code before it costs you more revenue.
Evaluating options
Checkout vs Elements. Connect vs standard billing. Stripe Tax vs manual. Build vs buy. You need clear answers from someone who has made these decisions in real production environments.
