Stripe subscriptions for care plans: a sane default
Checkout, portal, and webhooks—mapped to the customer account you actually want.

Checkout that matches the plan
Care plans should start at pricing, pass the selected plan into signup metadata, and complete payment before the client area unlocks. That keeps sales intent and entitlements aligned.
Portal and webhooks
Let customers manage cards and invoices in Stripe’s portal. Use webhooks to flip subscription_status in your database—never trust the client alone after redirect.
