Hi there! Im new here!

This is my first post!

For the admin UI you guys use the Shopify billing check or check manually via a middleware?

Like im chekcing directly with:

const { hasActivePayment } = await billing.check();

Or should I check in my DB where I store the paymant webhook data.

You don’t need to check directly every time when the app initially loads.
Instead, you can subscribe APP_SUBSCRIPTIONS/UPDATE and APP_UNINSTALLED webhooks to update subscription status in database.
And you can check with the subscription status in DB.
