Problem guide
Stripe and payments broken
The usual Stripe mess in these apps: checkout that only works in test mode, webhooks with no signature check, subscription state that does not match what Stripe says. We line up money and entitlements so they describe the same fact.
What to do
- Verify webhooks with the signing secret
- Reconcile customer and subscription state on the server
- Delete client-side flags that claim payment succeeded
- Keep test keys and live keys apart
- Cover upgrade, cancel, and failure, not just the happy path
Payments sit with secrets and auth on the fix-first list.
