Hire Stripe developers

Four shapes, all of them live. Subscriptions with signed webhooks keeping subscription and customer state in step with our own database, on a clinical analytics product. Hosted Checkout for one-off purchases on a property platform, where the webhook is the thing that marks the purchase real rather than the browser redirect. Connect with escrow on a marketplace, where money moves between two parties and we hold it in between. And donation flows through a Shopify storefront into Stripe.

Because the integration is not the hard part; the second month is. Failed and retried webhooks, disputes and refunds, proration when someone upgrades mid-cycle, a payout that lands in a different period from the order, and the reconciliation job nobody wrote. Stripe documents each of those well and says nothing about how they interact with your schema. That is the part we have already got wrong on other people’s products and fixed.

Yes, and it is worth knowing it is the hardest of the four. Connect brings onboarding and KYC for your sellers, split payments, escrow if you hold funds, payout schedules, and a compliance surface you inherit whether you wanted it or not. We have built it on a deal platform where money sits between two parties. If you are choosing between Connect and a simpler model, we will argue for the simpler one until your business genuinely needs the complexity.

Usually one or two backend developers against your existing team, not a separate payments project. Most of this work lives in Node, Ruby on Rails, PHP or Python codebases we already run, which is the point: payments touch the schema, the jobs, the emails and the admin, so a payments vendor working alone in a corner creates more reconciliation work than it removes.

That is most of what we get asked for. The usual starting point is an audit: which flows exist, which webhooks are handled, what happens on a retry, and where Stripe and the database already disagree. We would rather spend two days finding that out than two weeks building on top of an integration whose failure modes we have not seen.
