You don't need to use Stripe products to charge something. You can manage simple charges. Not sure what you want exactly.

just want a good payment api for just the checkout feature nothing more.
Level 1
what should i use for simple charges is (laravel cashier:stirpe) good, or should i go with something else,
i'm new to ecommerce development that's why my question might sound dumb

Go with the underlying Stripe library that Cashier uses (in other words, if you don't use Cashier for anything else, don't use it and go directly with Stripe's library). As for what you need, it depends on your location. In North America, people often go with charges because it is the fastest and easiest way to handle payments. However, if you live in Europe, or you sell to the European market, you should look into payment intents instead, which comply to European regulations.
