Does it support Stripe Connect for marketplaces?

Absolutely. It provides best practices for managing fund flows, account capabilities, and controller properties for marketplace and platform integrations, moving away from outdated 'Standard/Express' terminology.

How does it handle recurring revenue and subscriptions?

The skill prioritizes the use of Stripe Billing APIs combined with Stripe Checkout for robust recurring revenue models, following official SaaS and subscription use case patterns.

Can this skill help with PCI compliance?

Yes, the skill provides specific guidance on using Stripe-hosted UI components and secure tokenization to minimize your PCI burden and ensure sensitive data is handled according to industry standards.

Why does this skill discourage the use of the Charges API?

Stripe now recommends PaymentIntents and CheckoutSessions for better security, SCA compliance, and support for a wider range of payment methods. This skill ensures your integration remains future-proof by adhering to these modern standards.
