Confused about best solution for my membership area

Hello everybody.

I'm quite new to the Laravel ecosystem, but I'm a few months into building my first full webpage. Most of my design and some backend is now up and running, but I'm missing two critical parts:

An online store with a shopping cart and Stripe checkout.
A membership-area with subscription-based billing, with three different tiers: free, basic and premium.

I'm trying to wrap my head around different packages and tools - Cashier, Breeze, Spark, Sanctum, Jetstream - but I can't seem to find the right fit. I've read that some packages are for completely new applications, while my site is almost finished.

I was initially going to purchase Spark, but as far as I've understood Spark will get an upgrade sometime soon, and its one of the packages that are meant for new applications only (according to the FAQ).

Any help with this greatly appreciated.

Also look at some already built carts on Github, even if you don't use, you can get some ideas of how things are done.

Also if it's going to be an api as well look at passport and Sanctum. Yes there is a lot to consider.

Also search for some forum post here (use Google) for ideas as well.

Thanks to both of you. I'd rather avoid coding as much of this as possible, if that is at all possible. Isn't there any currently available packages I can purchase to solve these issues?
