In the previous section, we successfully implemented user authentication using Clerk. Now, building on this project, we will enhance our application by adding online payment processing using Stripe. This integration will enable us to introduce various subscription levels, such as the "Pro" plan, and restrict access to features based on the user's subscription status.
