Overview

What Stripe is

Stripe supports taking payments, managing subscriptions, and integrating billing with application state. Its agent documentation adds tools for working with Stripe in AI-assisted systems. Payment confirmation and business rules still need to be enforced by the application and verified provider events.

For a first workflow, define what the AI product sells and how access follows payment. Connect checkout and verified payment events before using live transactions. Check provider-confirmed billing state and application access together.
