Supabase Setup

1. Go to supabase.com and create a new project
2. Navigate to the SQL Editor
3. Copy the contents of supabase/schema.sql and run it
4. Go to Settings → API and copy your keys to .env.local

The schema creates:

• profiles table (extends auth.users)
• customers table (Stripe customer mapping)
• subscriptions table (subscription tracking)
• purchases table (one-time payment tracking)
• RLS policies (deny all to anon key)

Auth URL Configuration

In your Supabase dashboard, go to Authentication → URL Configuration and set:

• Site URL: http://localhost:3000 (or your production URL)
• Redirect URLs: Add the following URLs:
  • http://localhost:3000/auth/callback
  • https://yourdomain.com/auth/callback (for production)

These are required for OAuth (Google login) and email verification links to work correctly. The /auth/callback route handles the code exchange after authentication.

Stripe Setup

1. Get your API keys

1. Go to dashboard.stripe.com and create an account (or log in)
2. Make sure you're in test mode (toggle in the top right)
3. Go to Developers > API keys
4. Copy the keys to .env.local:

STRIPE_SECRET_KEY=sk_test_...
NEXT_PUBLIC_STRIPE_PUBLISHABLE_KEY=pk_test_...

2. Create your products

1. Go to Product catalog > + Add product
2. Create your first product (e.g., "Starter") with a one-time price of $199
3. Create your second product (e.g., "Pro") with a one-time price of $249
4. After creating each product, click into the price and copy the Price ID (starts with price_)
5. Paste them in config.ts:

// config.ts > billing > plans
priceId: {
  monthly: 'price_1Xxx...', // Your real price ID
  yearly: 'price_1Xxx...',  // Same ID for one-time payments
},

3. Set up the webhook

The webhook is how Stripe tells your app that a payment succeeded. Without this, purchases won't be recorded.

For local development

Install the Stripe CLI and run:

stripe listen --forward-to localhost:3000/api/webhooks/stripe

This prints a webhook signing secret (whsec_...). Copy it to .env.local:

STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRET=whsec_...

For production

1. Go to Developers > Webhooks > + Add endpoint
2. Set the endpoint URL to: https://yourdomain.com/api/webhooks/stripe
3. Click Select events and add these:
   • checkout.session.completed
   • customer.subscription.created
   • customer.subscription.updated
   • customer.subscription.deleted
   • invoice.payment_succeeded
   • invoice.payment_failed
   • charge.dispute.created
4. Click Add endpoint
5. Click Reveal signing secret and copy the whsec_... value
6. Add it to your production environment variables as STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRET

4. Go live

When you're ready to accept real payments:

1. Toggle off test mode in your Stripe Dashboard
2. Create the same products/prices in live mode
3. Update your production .env with live keys (sk_live_..., pk_live_...)
4. Create a new webhook endpoint for production with the same events
5. Update STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRET with the new live signing secret

Testing Payments

Use Stripe test mode with the test card: 4242 4242 4242 4242 (any future expiry, any CVC).

For a free test flow, create a 100% discount coupon in Stripe and apply it at checkout.

Running the App

Open http://localhost:3000 in your browser.
