Overview
Stripe provides APIs and products that help businesses accept payments and manage related operations. Its platform includes payment checkout flows, recurring billing, and tools for platforms that coordinate transactions among multiple parties.
Products and role
An integration can use hosted payment interfaces or API-driven components. Webhooks notify an application about events so its own records can reflect confirmed changes in payment state.
A useful distinction
A payment request and a completed payment are different states. Integrations need to follow the relevant lifecycle and product documentation rather than infer completion from a browser redirect.
