Authentication + Billing: How Clerk and Stripe Work Together - Part 2

In the second part of this series on Clerk Billing, the focus is on B2B billing, advanced webhooks, and the comparison between building a custom solution versus using Clerk and Stripe together. B2B billing involves charging organizations, where members access features based on the organization's plan, with Clerk's PricingTable component facilitating this setup. Permissions are based on both organizational plans and roles, with Clerk recommending using permission checks for better adaptability. Clerk supports per-seat pricing and offers advanced features through a B2B Authentication add-on. It integrates billing and authentication seamlessly, providing a streamlined user experience without the need for extensive custom development. The document also addresses webhook usage for billing events, emphasizing the efficiency and ease of implementing Clerk’s prebuilt components compared to developing in-house solutions. Limitations include the beta status of Clerk Billing, a 0.7% transaction fee, lack of tax/VAT support, and USD-only billing. Despite these, Clerk offers a compelling option for integrating billing functionalities with minimal setup effort, especially beneficial for applications requiring both B2C and B2B billing models.
