Paddle Billing Portal

I'm currently implementing a billing system using Laravel Cashier with Paddle and evaluating the best approach for user payment management features.

Initially, I planned to allow users to manage their subscriptions directly on my website, including actions like canceling and updating payment methods. However, Paddle provides a fully featured customer portal where users can handle these tasks securely.

Given the trade-offs between developing in-house subscription management features versus leveraging Paddle’s customer portal, which approach do you recommend for SaaS applications?

this is for developers who are curious about how I redirect the customers to their billing portals because cashier paddle does not have the ability to redirect to the buillin portal just create a endpoint

    Route::get('/account/subscription',[SubscriptionController::class,'index'])->name('settings.subscriptions');

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Laravel\Paddle\Cashier;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\URL;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Auth;
use Illuminate\Http\RedirectResponse;
use Filament\Notifications\Notification;

class SubscriptionController extends Controller
{
    public function index()
    {

       $customerId = Auth::user()->customer()->first()->paddle_id;

        if(blank($customerId)){
          
            Notification::make()
                ->title('Subscription Required')
                ->body('You need an active subscription to access this feature. Please choose a plan to continue.')
                ->color('warning')
                ->duration(5000)
                ->send();

           return  new RedirectResponse(URL::route('app.pricing'));
        }
        $response = Cashier::api(
            method: 'POST',
            uri: "customers/{$customerId}/portal-sessions"
        );

        $url = $response['data']['urls']['general']['overview'] ?? null;

        if ($url) {
            return new RedirectResponse($url);
        }


    }
