Checkout to access

The documented path is implementation-backed and intentionally avoids internal owner-only controls.

  1. Product or cart

    Public storefront, marketplace, embed, or direct client sends productId/items to /api/checkout/product.

  2. Checkout session

    platform resolves product owner, server price, promo code, tax quote, Stripe mode, safe return URLs, and checkout session record.

  3. Payment provider

    Stripe Checkout handles payment collection; free claims bypass Stripe only after server-side zero-total resolution.

  4. Webhook completion

    Verified Stripe webhook processes checkout.session.completed with provider-event/idempotency protection.

  5. Order and ledger

    Order service writes order, order items, sale ledger, optional journal/settlement allocation, and marketplace shares.

  6. Entitlement and library

    Order service grants entitlements; customer library and delivery endpoints expose access.

  7. Download and activation

    Downloads use entitlement-gated delivery; plugin activation/validation uses product credential and entitlement/license state.
