PortalSession

The Billing customer portal is a Stripe-hosted UI for subscription and
billing management.

A portal configuration describes the functionality and features that you
want to provide to your customers through the portal.

A portal session describes the instantiation of the customer portal for
a particular customer. By visiting the session's URL, the customer
can manage their subscriptions and billing details. For security reasons,
sessions are short-lived and will expire if the customer does not visit the URL.
Create sessions on-demand when customers intend to manage their subscriptions
and billing details.
