Checkout
This guide will help you integrate Stripe Checkout to manage subscriptions in your Next.js Supabase SaaS template. It covers creating checkout sessions, syncing subscription data with Supabase, and using Stripe webhooks for real-time updates.
Overview
We manage subscriptions using the Stripe Checkout process, which ensures that payment methods, including 3D Secure (3DS) authentication, are fully supported. The simplicity of Stripe’s no-code method makes this an ideal choice for handling subscription-based payments.
Workflow
- Sync Data: Before initiating any subscription process, we sync data from Stripe using the endpoint
/api/sync. This sync creates records in your Supabase tables, such as:- Price
- Products
- Customers
- Subscriptions
- Create Checkout Session: To create a Stripe checkout session, we use the
stripe.checkout.sessions.createAPI. - Webhook Integration: Stripe webhooks play a crucial role in resyncing data when events occur on Stripe. For instance, when a subscription is updated or canceled, a webhook triggers an automatic resync of relevant data in Supabase. This ensures that your app always has up-to-date information about a user's subscription status.
