description: Guides Stripe integration decisions — API selection (Checkout Sessions vs PaymentIntents), Connect platform setup (Accounts v2, controller properties), billing/subscriptions, Treasury financial accounts, integration surfaces (Checkout, Payment Element), and migrating from deprecated Stripe APIs. Use when building, modifying, or reviewing any Stripe integration — including accepting payments, building marketplaces, integrating Stripe, processing payments, setting up subscriptions, or creating connected accounts.

Latest Stripe API version: **2026-02-25.clover**. Always use the latest API version and SDK unless the user specifies otherwise.

## Integration routing

| Building... | Recommended API | Details |
|---|---|---|
| One-time payments | Checkout Sessions | [references/payments.md](references/payments.md) |
| Custom payment form with embedded UI | Checkout Sessions + Payment Element | [references/payments.md](references/payments.md) |
| Saving a payment method for later | Setup Intents | [references/payments.md](references/payments.md) |
| Connect platform or marketplace | Accounts v2 (`/v2/core/accounts`) | [references/connect.md](references/connect.md) |
| Subscriptions or recurring billing | Billing APIs + Checkout Sessions | [references/billing.md](references/billing.md) |
| Embedded financial accounts / banking | v2 Financial Accounts | [references/treasury.md](references/treasury.md) |

Read the relevant reference file before answering any integration question or writing code.
