  1. –

    To handle payments, we're going to be using the Stripe payment gateway. Stripe

  2. –

    has

  3. –

    support for many countries, a list of which you can find used in the link in the

  4. –

    resources

  5. –

    section for this lesson. Stripe offers us the building blocks to create

  6. –

    subscription-based products. It's still quite a bit of work to integrate this

  7. –

    by hand in

  8. –

    an application, even when using Stripe's PHP SDK. There's lots to handle,

  9. –

    such as

  10. –

    capturing the initial payment from the customer and making sure our application

  11. –

    and representation

  12. –

    of subscription stays in sync with the actual subscription status in Stripe.

  13. –

    For example, when Stripe is unable to take payment from a customer, the

  14. –

    subscription

  15. –

    will eventually be cancelled and we need to make sure that we also cancel the

  16. –

    subscription

  17. –

    in our application so a customer cannot continue enjoying access if they're not

  18. –

    paying for

  19. –

    it. To help, the Laravel team has created Cashier,

  20. –

    a package that utilises the Stripe PHP SDK to make using Stripe easier in Laravel

  21. –

    based

  22. –

    projects. We'll be using Cashier to create subscriptions and then redirect our

  23. –

    customers

  24. –

    to Stripe Checkout to capture payment and then leveraging Cashier's built-in

  25. –

    webhooks

  26. –

    to make sure our subscription stays in sync with the actual subscription status

  27. –

    in Stripe.
