How does subscription billing work in Laravel?

We use Laravel Cashier, the official package that wraps Stripe and Paddle subscription APIs. Cashier handles plan management, trials, proration, coupons, invoicing, webhooks, and tax compliance. For US and EU SaaS we recommend Stripe through Cashier. For SaaS targeting global VAT and OSS compliance, Paddle through Cashier is often the better fit (Paddle acts as a merchant of record). Both options ship with full PCI compliance handled by the provider.
