# Example Billing Flows with Stripe
You have the option to either:
* Create custom checkouts using Stripe Elements - this allows for greater flexibility and customization of the payment form, or
* Utilize Stripe-hosted Checkouts - where Stripe manages the entire checkout experience for you.
Both methods involve incorporating the Sphere API to calculate taxes, ensuring accurate tax rates are applied during the checkout process.
