Description
Every payment bug costs real money — usually someone else's.Stripe's docs are excellent as a reference, but references are organized by API surface, not by the order in which things go wrong. You can read the Checkout page, the Subscriptions page, and the Webhooks page and still ship an integration that grants premium access to anyone who pastes your success URL into a browser.This book is organized around those seams. Every chapter teaches a piece of the Stripe API in Node.js and Express, and every chapter names one specific way developers lose money with it: the float rounding that makes an invoice a cent off, the cancel-and-recreate that hands a customer a free month, the live webhook secret that silently differs from the test one and takes billing down on launch day.Everything runs in test mode with fake cards. No business, no bank account, no real money required.What you'll learn:Take your first payment with Stripe Checkout in under forty linesWhy success_url is never proof of payment — and what isBuild a webhook endpoint with signature verification and raw-body handlingMake fulfillment idempotent so duplicate events can't double-chargeModel subscriptions, trials, and the full status machineTurn subscription status into feature flags without calling Stripe on every requestHandle upgrades and downgrades with proration you preview before chargingRecover failed payments with dunning, grace periods, and Smart RetriesAutomate dispute evidence and revoke access when money leavesMeter usage-based billing with the current Meters APISimulate a year of billing in seconds with Test ClocksEnds with a complete, runnable SaaS billing service.
