> Hit this while moving a Laravel app from Stripe/Cashier to Lemon Squeezy and later re-introducing Stripe for a new cohort of signups on the same User model.
>
> Cashier's `Billable` trait (and similarly `lemonsqueezy/laravel`'s own `Billable` trait) define methods like `subscribe()`, `subscribed()`, `subscription()` that internally call `$this->subscriptions()` **by unqualified name**. PHP traits resolve an unqualified method call to whichever trait's implementation last won the slot on the class — you cannot `use` two Billable-style traits side by side and expect both to work. One of them will silently call the wrong `subscriptions()` relation, usually surfacing as `$user->activeSubscription` or `$user->subscribed('plan')` returning the wrong provider's row (or null) instead of throwing.
>
> Fix: only mix in **one** full Billable trait. For the second provider, hand-roll the relation and checks instead of using its package trait:
>
> ```php
> public function stripeSubscriptions(): HasMany
> {
>     return $this->hasMany(\Laravel\Cashier\Subscription::class);
> }
>
> public function stripeSubscribed(string $type): bool
> {
>     return $this->stripeSubscriptions()->where('type', $type)->whereIn('stripe_status', ['trialing', 'active'])->exists();
> }
> ```
>
> Same goes for building checkout sessions: skip the package's `SubscriptionBuilder` for the second provider and hit the SDK directly. A bit more boilerplate, but no silent trait collisions.
>
> Also worth knowing: if you disable Cashier's own webhook routes (`Cashier::ignoreRoutes()`) to run your own controller, its default webhook handlers for subscription events also call `$this->subscriptions()` unqualified — so your own handler needs to override anything that touches that relation, not just add new event types.

> Typo in the title, sorry: *Cashier's*, not "Cashor's".
