Why is Inngest recommended for Stripe webhooks?

Stripe expects a response within 3 seconds. Using Inngest allows you to acknowledge the webhook immediately and process heavy logic—like database updates or API calls—in the background.

How does this differ from the plans-handler skill?

While plans-handler manages standard SaaS subscriptions, stripe-handler is designed for custom one-time purchases, digital goods, and unique recurring products that require specific metadata and fulfillment logic.

What role does metadata play in this skill?

Metadata is critical for identifying the purchase type within a unified webhook route. It allows the handler to distinguish between different custom products and trigger the appropriate fulfillment workflow.

How does this skill handle duplicate webhook events?

The skill implements idempotency patterns by recommending database checks before fulfillment, ensuring that if Stripe sends the same event twice, your application only processes it once.
