In this episode, you'll learn how to build an onboarding flow to onboard authors to your creator platform.
The platform we're building in this series allows creators to produce creative content (e.g., a newsletter), publish their content, and monetize their content with paid subscriptions.
This is episode 13 in the series. Stay tuned and subscribe for updates. We'll cover all the ins and outs of Stripe Connect, how you need to model and store things in your database, how to handle authentication, how to process web hooks and post-payment events in your Stripe account, how to onboard creators, how to use Stripe Checkout on the front end to securely accept payment, how to setup the Stripe Customer Portal to allow subscribers to manage their payments and subscriptions.
