SSL securedStripe is powerful. But it's not plug-and-play.
To sell a simple subscription with Stripe alone, you need to build and maintain all of this yourself:
Webhooks & integrations
You need to code webhook handlers for every event: payment succeeded, failed, subscription updated, invoice finalized. One missed event = broken billing.
Invoices & tax compliance
Stripe generates receipts, not proper invoices. You need to handle VAT, sequential numbering, and send them yourself.
Payment pages
Stripe Checkout gives you a logo and a color. No custom fields, no branded storefront, no product catalog page.
Failed payment recovery
20–40% of subscription churn is involuntary — failed cards, expired tokens. Without dunning logic, you lose revenue silently.
Upgrades & downgrades
Proration, plan changes, mid-cycle upgrades — Stripe has the API, but you need to build the UI and the logic yourself.
Customer notifications
Payment confirmations, renewal reminders, failed payment alerts — none of this is included. You need to wire it all up.
