stripe-firebase-extensions VS stripe-firebase-extensions

(I'm a Stripe employee)

Google didn't kill the extension, instead the Stripe team transferred ownership of the Github repo and extension over to Invertase. More details here: https://github.com/invertase/stripe-firebase-extensions/issu...

We recommend you uninstall the Stripe version and install the Invertase version instead: https://extensions.dev/extensions/invertase/firestore-stripe...

I'll make sure we update the Stripe version to have a more prominent note about the transfer in the README.

Stripe was the most difficult and finicky aspect of the migration. Within firebase, I used the stripe firebase extension to manage all the stripe components. It took care of a lot of the implementation work so I had no idea how to approach this when I first started. I bounced between different ideas like bi-directional sync of the subscription tier within firebase, but eventually I settled upon using Stripe as my single source of truth. Although it’d be more involved, I knew it’d make fully cutting Firebase out of Fleeting Notes easier down the road. Here are the migration steps I settled upon:

In this example, we are going to use the Stripe Payment Extension updates, which will allow an enhancement of the Stripe Webhook events. In this example, we are going to focus on when a product has been created.
