For this guide, I'll be building a small premium content-based app for purely demonstration purposes. To get access to more content you would pay a subscription fee in a recurring fashion. One could argue that Ruby on Rails is overkill for this concept but think of it as room to grow 😉.
We'll leverage Stripe Checkout and Stripe Customer Portal to handle all the subscribing and billing logic. Additionally, we'll sync subscription data to our users and their subscriptions so we have a local copy of important details. To keep everything in sync we listen for events via Webhooks.
