- Stripe Checkout integration – Creates secure checkout sessions and processes credit-card payments through the Stripe API without storing card data on the server.
- Built-in validation – Verifies product/price details, required fields, and cart integrity before initiating a payment.
- Database ↔ Stripe synchronization – Persists stripe_product_id, stripe_price_id, and stripe_customer_id fields to keep the local Postgres tables in sync with Stripe records.
- Cart actions – Add/remove items from the cart with real-time session updates. Includes error handling and alerts for duplicate or missing items. (see demo below)
- Webhook & API connections – Listens for checkout.session.completed events, retrieves line items, and updates local order history and sales metrics. (see demo below)
- Purchase flow – Full Stripe payment cycle with confirmation page and order summary rendering. Handles both success and failure scenarios gracefully. (see demo below)
