Hello,

I was wondering why stripe/stripe was being used vs the laravel/cashier. Is one recommended over the other, or was it meant for simplicity?

Hey @smeikle82! Cashier is meant for recurring subscription billing in SaaS apps; since we just need to do individual charges for people purchasing tickets, it makes more sense to just use Stripe's library directly 👍🏻

Thank you for that quick reply. Really enjoying the course so far!
