I feel this comment.

I'm working though Stripe integration for the first time. It's one of the worst APIs I've ever dealt with.

I couldn't find a single place advising which webhooks to listen to - or what their payloads should be - for simple subscription behavior. It's actually inconsistent in places.

They built and accrued all of this complex billing behavior for all of these incredible upmarket needs, and in the meantime they forgot about the simple cases.

I almost used PayPal or Square. Perhaps I should have.

Stripe seems to have moved on to upmarket.
