Test it

Using "stripe-best-practices". We need a hosted page for one-time payments and automatic payment method selection.

Expected outcome:

Use Stripe-hosted Checkout with Checkout Sessions.
Enable dynamic payment methods in the Dashboard.
Validate the design with Stripe's integration options and go-live checklist.

Using "stripe-best-practices". Our application saves cards through Sources and creates Charges later.

Expected outcome:

Migrate saved payment methods to Setup Intents.
Use Payment Intents for off-session payments.
Plan migration from Charges and Sources using official Stripe guidance.

Using "stripe-best-practices". A marketplace needs the platform to accept liability for connected account negative balances.

Expected outcome:

Prefer destination charges, then define merchant-of-record behavior with on_behalf_of and current Connect controller properties.

Compare direct and destination charges, liability implications, merchant-of-record settings, and current Connect account controls.

Try These Prompts

Select a Checkout Approach

Recommend a Stripe integration for [product] with [one-time or recurring] payments. Compare hosted Checkout, embedded Checkout, and Payment Element.

Avoid

Do not recommend Charges, Sources, legacy Card Element, or outdated Connect account labels for new integrations.
Do not collect or transmit raw card data without validated PCI eligibility and controls.
Do not mix Connect charge types or hardcode payment methods without a documented requirement.
