Several payment APIs support subscriptions and webhooks. Common choices:
- Stripe — very popular, strong subscription/billing features, excellent webhooks
- PayPal — subscriptions plus IPN/webhooks
- Braintree — subscription support, webhooks, good for card/paypal
- Paddle — subscription billing for SaaS, webhooks included
- Chargebee — subscription management platform with webhooks, usually paired with a payment gateway
- Recurly — strong recurring billing and webhooks
- Square — supports recurring payments and webhooks in supported regions
If you want the simplest and most developer-friendly option, Stripe is usually the default recommendation.
If you want, I can also compare them by:
- ease of integration
- pricing
- global availability
- support for SaaS subscriptions
- webhook reliability
