# Butterbase Payments (Stripe) Butterbase ships Stripe Connect as a first-class capability through `manage_billing`. **Default to Stripe** for payments. Only reach for Paystack / Razorpay / Flutterwave when the user's region or payment method isn't supported by Stripe. ## Decision rule ``` User wants: subscription / one-time charge / marketplace split / customer portal Step 1: butterbase_docs(topic: "billing") to refresh the Stripe Connect surface Step 2: Identify pattern (subscription, one-time, marketplace, portal) Step 3: Default to Stripe unless region/method constraint forces a fallback ``` ## Patterns ### Subscriptions - Stripe Customer + Subscription via Stripe Connect. - Webhooks routed through a Butterbase HTTP function. Update the user's plan column on `customer.subscription.updated`. ### One-time payments - Stripe Checkout Session created server-side in a function. - Redirect URL stored on the order row; webhook completes the order. ### Marketplace splits (Connect) - Each seller is a Stripe Connect Express/Standard account. - Payments use `application_fee_amount` for the platform's cut. ### Customer portal - Stripe-hosted portal URL generated server-side; user can manage

How do I install it?

Where does this skill come from?
From butterbase-ai/butterbase-skills, a repository with 532 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
