What our Laravel Cashier services deliver
Building subscription billing from scratch means handling webhooks, proration math, failed payments, and PCI compliance — all high-risk code that breaks quietly. Curotec implements Laravel Cashier with Stripe and Paddle so your team launches production-ready billing without building payment infrastructure from the ground up.
Our capabilities include:
- Stripe and Paddle payment provider integration
- Subscription lifecycle and plan management
- Webhook architecture for payment events
- Customer self-service portal configuration
- Automated invoice generation and PDF delivery
- SCA and PCI compliance setup
Who we support
Billing touches every part of your business: revenue recognition, customer retention, compliance. Curotec works with teams that need billing infrastructure built correctly the first time, not patched together after launch.
SaaS Platforms Scaling Recurring Revenue
Your subscription logic started simple, but now you need plan tiers, proration, trial periods, and dunning flows that handle edge cases without manual intervention. We implement Cashier so your billing grows with your product.
Membership and Content Platforms
Gated content, premium tiers, and subscriber management require billing that ties directly to access control. We connect Cashier to your authorization layer so payment status drives permissions automatically.
Usage-Based and Per-Seat Products
Charging by API calls, active users, or storage requires metered billing that updates in real time. We configure Cashier's quantity and usage tracking to match your pricing model without custom invoicing workarounds.

What powers our Laravel Cashier builds
Payment Provider SDKs
Curotec integrates provider libraries that connect your Laravel application directly to payment processing infrastructure.
- Cashier Stripe – Primary billing package with subscription management, customer portals, and invoice generation via Stripe’s API
- Cashier Paddle – Merchant of Record integration that handles global VAT and sales tax compliance automatically
- Stripe.js – Client-side tokenization that captures card details without sensitive data touching your server

- Cashier Chargebee – Community-maintained package for teams running Chargebee as their subscription management layer
Webhook & Event Processing
Reliable webhook handling ensures your application responds to every payment event without dropping or duplicating transactions.
- Laravel Horizon – Manages Redis-driven queues that process payment webhooks with real-time job metrics and failure tracking
- Stripe Webhooks – Event listeners for charges, subscription changes, invoice finalization, and disputed payment alerts
- Laravel Events – Application-level event dispatching that triggers internal workflows when Cashier receives provider callbacks
- Supervisor – Process manager that keeps webhook queue workers running and restarts failed jobs without manual intervention
- Amazon SQS – Managed queue backend for teams on AWS that need infrastructure-free job brokering for payment events
- Redis – In-memory broker for high-throughput webhook queues with low-latency job dispatch and rate limiting support
Invoice and Financial Reporting
Automated invoice generation and financial tracking give your finance team accurate records without manual data entry or exports.
- Cashier Invoice API – Generates downloadable PDF invoices from subscription and one-time charge records stored in your application
- Stripe Billing Dashboard – Provider-side reporting on MRR, churn, failed payments, and revenue trends across all subscribers
- Laravel DomPDF – Renders custom-branded invoice templates when Cashier’s default PDF output needs visual customization
- Stripe Tax – Automated tax calculation across jurisdictions that attaches correct rates to invoices at charge time
- Cashier Receipts – Email-triggered receipt delivery with line items, tax breakdowns, and payment method confirmation
- Laravel Notifications – Multi-channel alerts for billing events including payment confirmations, failures, and upcoming renewals
Testing & Payment Simulation
Our engineers validate billing flows against provider test modes before any subscription logic reaches your production environment.
- Laravel Dusk – Browser-based testing that verifies checkout flows, portal interactions, and payment form submissions end to end
- Stripe Test Mode – Sandbox environment with test card numbers that simulate successful charges, declines, and 3D Secure prompts
- Pest – Expressive test framework for unit and feature tests covering subscription creation, plan swaps, and cancellations
- Stripe CLI – Local webhook forwarding that routes provider events to your development environment for real-time debugging
- PHPUnit – Assertion-based testing for Cashier methods including trial logic, coupon application, and quantity updates
- Paddle Sandbox – Test environment for validating tax calculations, checkout overlays, and subscription lifecycle without live charges
Security & Compliance
Payment security configuration ensures card data stays with the provider while your application maintains only tokenized references.
- Stripe SCA – Built-in Strong Customer Authentication flows that handle 3D Secure challenges for European payment regulations
- PCI SAQ-A Compliance – Architecture pattern where sensitive card data never touches your server, reducing your compliance scope
- Laravel Encryption – Application-level encryption for customer tokens, billing metadata, and provider credentials stored locally
- Stripe Radar – Machine learning fraud detection that scores transactions and blocks suspicious charges before they process
- HTTPS/TLS – Enforced transport encryption for all client-side tokenization and webhook communication with payment providers
- Laravel Sanctum – API token authentication that secures billing endpoints against unauthorized access from external requests
Monitoring & Subscription Analytics
Tracking subscription health and payment patterns surfaces churn risks and revenue trends before they affect your bottom line.

FAQs about our Laravel Cashier services
Should we use Stripe or Paddle with Laravel Cashier?
Stripe gives you the most billing control and works well for US-focused products. Paddle handles global VAT and sales tax as a Merchant of Record. Some teams run both from the same codebase depending on where their customers are.
How long does a typical Cashier implementation take?
Standard subscription billing with Stripe and invoice generation usually reaches production in one to two weeks. Usage-based metering, multi-provider setups, or custom portal work push that to three or four weeks.
How do you handle failed payments?
We configure provider-side retry logic, dunning notification sequences, and grace periods. Cashier tracks subscription status through webhook events, so your app knows immediately when a payment fails or recovers without polling.
Can Cashier handle usage-based or per-seat pricing?
Yes. Cashier supports quantity-based subscriptions that scale per seat, API call, or storage unit. We configure metering logic that updates quantities in real time so invoices reflect actual usage each billing cycle.
How does Cashier keep us PCI compliant?
Card numbers never touch your server. Cashier uses client-side tokenization through Stripe.js or Paddle.js and stores only a non-sensitive token. That reduces your PCI scope to SAQ-A, the lightest compliance level.
Can you integrate Cashier into an app with existing billing?
We do this regularly. Most teams have some custom Stripe calls or manual webhook handlers already. We migrate that onto Cashier incrementally, replacing fragile code with maintained methods while preserving existing subscription records.
