Integrate Stripe Payments for Subscription Plans

Stripe must be configured on both frontend and backend files.

For the frontend:

  • frontend/src/config/staging.tsx
  • frontend/src/environments/environment.staging.ts

For the backend:

  • backend/.env

Save the API keys

  1. Go to the Get your test API keys tab.
  2. Copy the Publishable key to the frontend config file.
  3. Save it on stripePublishableKey.
  4. Copy the Secret key to the backend config file.
  5. Save it on PLAN_STRIPE_SECRET_KEY.

By default, Growth and Enterprise as the plan names. Feel free to change those names, add or remove a plan. This will require changing the code.

  • Name
  • Price
  • Recurring
  • Billing Period

Copy the Price Codes and save on the backend environment variables.

PLAN_STRIPE_PRICES_GROWTH = "price_...";
PLAN_STRIPE_PRICES_ENTERPRISE = "price_...";

Enable the Customer Portal

Go to Settings > Billing > Customer Portal.Enable the functionalities you want on the customer portal.Read more about the customer portal here: https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/customer-portal

Create a Webhook

The webhook is responsible for notifying the application when the plans' subscriptions have changed.Go to Developers > Webhooks > Add Endpoint. The backend URL must have this format: https://your_backend_url/api/plan/stripe/webhookEvents you need to capture are:

  • checkout.session.completed
  • customer.subscription.updated
  • customer.subscription.deleted

Now, update the PLAN_STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SIGNIN_SECRET environment variable with the Signing Secret.
