So I have a stripe payment page that allows customers to subscribe to a membership platform I use called passion.io.
I am trying to trigger on zapier that when the customer checks out using the stripe payment page, it fills an order on passion.io as a new customer and goes through the new customer process.
Currently Zapier doesnt let the check out of a specific payment page be its own unique trigger so they suggested I use webhooks as a work around but I know nothing about webhooks and am so confused on which event to use and how to set this up.
Any insight?

Now I want to make an eCommerce website. In this website, I want to implement a feature like when a client or user buy something from my website and they also pay with any payment gateway (In case I use Stripe payment gateway) After completing payment, I want to send an automatic order completion invoice to my client email with product name, quantity, subtotal, total and so on. That means we receive our client order and payment.

I have no idea about this problem to get a solution.
It sounds like what you really want is a receipt to be sent to your customer on payment completion. There's a couple ways to achieve this. Assuming you want the customer to pay on your website and not on a Stripe-hosted page, then you could use the accept a payment guide with a custom flow and add a receipt email when creating the PaymentIntent. This would email your customer a receipt on successful payment completion. You could also achieve this with Stripe Checkout if you want a Stripe-hosted payment page by enabling email receipts in your settings.
Quite suprisingly, it is not possible to automatically generate an invoice after as successfull checkout session with Stripe.
An invoice must always come before a payment in the stripe system.
I am left with having to recreate the invoice through a bunch of API calls fetching the PaymentIntent or the CheckoutSession that was just performed to recompute the data for the invoice and mark it as paid (not even sure I can retrieve everything I need)
This seems quite hacky... Is this the right way to do it or shall I just handle invoicing outside of stripe (quite annoying too) ?
just want clarify if you need Invoice or Receipt, because they are two different things
Invoice is something you send to customer to ask for payment (before payment)
Receipt is a proof of succeeded payment (after payment)
My understanding is that the payment is already collected upon a succeeded checkout session, so you probably want to send receipts to customers. To enable email receipts, you can go to Settings -> Emails and tick the Email customers about Successful payment box. Please note that emails won't be sent in test mode.
Let me explain a solution that you can use to generate invoices after payment in stripe. This solution is based on Zapier connectors.
There are three systems that we should connect.
Stripe
Zapier
Plumsail Documents
First, you have to set up a Stripe connection to Zapier. Go to Zapier, create a Zap, find the Stripe connection, and select "New Payment" as the trigger event. Then, connect your Stripe account with Zapier and make a test in Zap. If everything ok, go to the second step.
Second. After you have done the Zap connection for Stripe, go to Plumsail Documents, create the process, and make a template for your invoice.
Third. Set up a Plumsail Documents connection to Zapier. Go to your Zap (where you have made the connection to Stripe before), find the Plumsail Documents action, and set the Start Process as Action Event. Next, you have to select your process and match output data from Stripe payment with your invoice template in Plumsail Documents.
It seems a bit complicated, so you can read the article with a more detailed description of this solution. Also, there are screenshots for all processes.
As a result, you will get a fully automated custom invoice generation whenever you will get a payment in Stripe.

I am having trouble finding out the difference between payment Intent and a session.
Assuming I a customer logs into a page and goes to domain.com/register how can I create session and check if customer has already visited page by using customer email address to get the customer object?
What are the difference between paymentIntent and session and how do they help? I see that session is created on Checkout but not when accepting one time payments.
Current I create a payment intent and it works find but my 'url' has no session
PaymentIntents
A PaymentIntent is an API object in Stripe's API that create encapsulates a lifecycle of a one-time payment.
You typically create your own form on your webpage when using PaymentIntents, create a PaymentIntent using the Stripe API, then confirm it using the cardElement from Stripe Elements (the frontend UI elements for collecting card details).
Checkout
Checkout is a full page "hosted UI" that creates its own PaymentIntent and provides all the UI that a customer needs to enter their card details and takes a payment. It also supports many other payment methods automatically without you having to manually add support for each one.
So a CheckoutSession under the hood uses a Subscription or a PaymentIntent object, depending on whether it was used in subscription or payment mode.
I have an order form that uses a Stripe payment integration and I also want to add a checkbox for a option to "Pay Later" which will be an invoice directly to their company and in turn it will cancel the need for the Stripe payment. The problem i'm having is the Stripe library passes validation for card info and it stops the form submit if anything is empty or invalid in the Stripe integration.
Stripe has a guide for setting up future payments which covers a lot of scenarios. The basic, high-level steps are:
Create a Setup Intent
Collect payment information
Use the Setup Intent to set the payment information up for later use and attach it to a Customer object in Stripe
Once that's done you can then charge/invoice the Customer later.
I am integrating Stripe in my site and I have the following question. I have read in the official documentation that is needed to use Payment Intents / Checkout to accomplish with 3d secure payments but my doubt is: How can I validate a payment made through this methods in a synchronous way to allow customers to instant download a product without waiting to the webhook call?
I am using Symfony to build the front and the back of the system.
thanks
You don't need to wait for a webhook to get confirmation that a payment was successful. stripe.handleCardPayment will immediately tell you if the payment was successful or not. See the then promise fulfillment here.
If you're using new Checkouts, users will be directed to your payment success page on completion of payment. A webhook is sent to inform you of the payment completion in case the user closes the browser or tab before the redirect can happen.
