Payments are a critical part of any SaaS business. They allow you to:

• Monetize your app
• Offer flexible pricing to users
• Track revenue and subscriptions

In this boilerplate, payments are fully integrated with Stripe, allowing you to process transactions safely and reliably.

Stripe is chosen because it is:

• Secure and PCI compliant
• Flexible for both one-time and subscription payments
• Well-documented with extensive API support
• Supports multiple payment methods (cards, wallets, etc.)

Using Stripe ensures your users have a smooth checkout experience and your financial operations are robust.

This starter boilerplate supports two types of payments:

1️⃣ One-Time Payments

• Ideal for selling a single product or service.
• User is charged once and gains access to the product.
• Example: Paying for an eBook or a one-time setup fee.

2️⃣ Subscription Payments

• Ideal for recurring SaaS plans (monthly/yearly).
• User is charged on a regular interval automatically.
• Example: Starter, Pro, and Business plans with recurring billing.

You can choose which payment model suits your app or even offer both simultaneously.

• Stripe integration is pre-configured for both payment types.
• Subscription plans are stored in /config/landing.ts (see plans array).
• Payment processing uses Stripe Checkout sessions for simplicity and security.
• Webhooks are set up to handle subscription events (e.g., renewals, cancellations).

Note: You will need a Stripe account and API keys configured in your .env file.
