## Scope

This section covers integration between Beacon, Stripe, internal systems, and ERP with an operational predictability focus.

## Recommended implementation sequence

<Steps>
  <Step title="1) Connect Stripe Connect">Complete technical and operational onboarding in [Connect Stripe](/docs/integrations/connect-stripe).</Step>
  <Step title="2) Configure events and signatures">Define callbacks and retries in [Configure webhooks](/docs/integrations/configure-webhooks).</Step>
  <Step title="3) Close financial sync design">Pick consistency strategy in [ERP sync patterns](/docs/integrations/erp-sync-patterns).</Step>
</Steps>

## Responsibility map

| Process | Owner profile | Primary indicator |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Stripe onboarding | Developer | Time-to-onboard |
| Webhook security | Developer + Admin | Signature verification success rate |
| ERP reconciliation | Reconciliation owners + Developer | Ledger vs ERP delta |

## Minimum health signals

- Webhook delivery `p95` below the team threshold.
- ERP sync failures controlled with documented replay path.
- No event stream without explicit operational owner.

<Warning title="Common anti-pattern">Avoid coupling final business state only to synchronous checkout responses. Final state must be consolidated through asynchronous events.</Warning>
