Simplest way to handle subscriptions as a solo founder. Had four pricing plans live in a day, and the billing portal meant I didn't have to build any subscription management UI myself.

to build Zappic.co

•3 reviews

Stripe handles all our billing and subscriptions. The flexibility to structure plans the way we needed was important, but so was the trust signal it sends to buyers. When a customer sees Stripe at checkout, it removes friction before they even think twice.

Stripe is one of those tools where the docs are so good it almost feels like cheating. Set up the full checkout + webhook flow for Signum in an afternoon — user upgrades, webhook hits the backend, plan updates in Supabase, done. The test mode is underrated, simulating failed payments and edge cases before going live saved me from some embarrassing bugs in production.

What needs improvement

The webhook signature verification docs could be clearer for Python specifically. Took a bit of trial and error to get it right with FastAPI.

vs Alternatives

Handling payments and plan upgrades for Signum's Pro and API subscriptions. Needed webhooks that play nicely with FastAPI and Supabase.

to build Noah AI

•3 reviews

Stripe made sense for Noah because it’s reliable, developer friendly, and easy to integrate globally. Since users can upgrade plans and purchase credits to deploy apps and agents, we needed a payment infrastructure that was simple to implement and trusted by developers. Stripe’s APIs and documentation made the integration straightforward.
