Stripe & payments launch playbook

Flip Stripe live on a cleared site.

Payment-ready means more than a checkout button. Audit pricing, refund policy, terms, security headers, and auth flows on production before you charge the first customer.

Before Stripe live

Trust & compliance surface

  • Refund/cancellation policy linked from pricing and checkout
  • Terms of service and privacy policy match your Stripe business name
  • Pricing page shows currency, billing interval, and trial terms clearly

Checkout QA

Payment flow pass

  • Stripe checkout success/cancel URLs resolve (no 404)
  • Webhook endpoint not exposed in client-side JS
  • Customer portal link works for subscription management

First revenue

Monitor post-launch

  • Scheduled re-scan after pricing or plan changes
  • Alert on security header regression after deploy
