## What it is
An opinionated guide by Theo Browne on integrating Stripe payments into SaaS applications without common pitfalls. It recommends a single sync function that pulls all Stripe customer data into a KV store, avoiding webhook race conditions and split-brain state.

## Use cases
- implement stripe subscriptions in a saas app
- avoid stripe webhook race conditions
- sync stripe customer data to my database
- set up stripe checkout with nextjs
- handle stripe payment state without split brain
- best practices for stripe integration in typescript

## When to choose
- you're building a SaaS with subscriptions using TypeScript and a JS backend
- you've been burned by Stripe webhook ordering and partial-update bugs
- you want a simple, battle-tested checkout and sync flow

## When to avoid
- you need one-off payments, marketplaces, or invoicing beyond subscriptions
- you're not using a JavaScript/TypeScript backend
- you want exhaustive Stripe API coverage rather than an opinionated subset
