Development Setup

Nhost

• Clone this repo.
• Copy .env.local.example to .env.development.
• Add the following environment variables from Stripe to the .env.development file:
  • NEXT_PUBLIC_STRIPE_PUBLISHABLE_KEY
  • STRIPE_SECRET_KEY

Stripe (test mode)

• Create 4 products in the Stripe Dashboard.
• Add the products to the nhost/seeds/default/001-plans.sql file. The first time you're starting the Nhost project using nhost up the seed script will run and add the data to your plans table.

Stripe Webhooks (test mode)

• Make sure you have the Stripe CLI installed.
• Run pnpm stripe:listen.
• You'll see an output stating the Webhook signing secret starting with whsec_.
• Copy the Webhook signing secret to your .env.development for STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRET.

Frontend and Backend

• Start the backend with nhost up.
• Start the frontend with pnpm dev.

You now have a fully working backend and frontend with Next.js, Nhost, and Stripe.

Go Live

Nhost

• Add the following environment variables from Stripe (using live mode):
  • STRIPE_SECRET_KEY
  • STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRET
• Connect your Nhost project to your Git repository.
  • This will create the tables automatically for you.

Stripe (live mode)

• Create 4 products in the Stripe Dashboard (live mode).
• Add the products to the plans Plans database in the Nhost Dashboard.

Stripe Webhooks (live mode)

• Add a webhook endpoint in Stripe pointing to https://{subdomain}.functions.{region}.nhost.run/v1/webhook/stripe.
• Configure the events you want to listen to. It's OK to listen to all events.
• Copy the "Signing secret" and add it as an environment variable in Nhost with the name STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRET.

Frontend Hosting

You can use any frontend hosting, like Vercel and Netlify. The process is the same:

• Connect the repo with a new project in the frontend hosting service.
• Add the following:
  • NEXT_PUBLIC_NHOST_SUBDOMAIN (from Nhost)
  • NEXT_PUBLIC_NHOST_REGION (from Nhost)
  • NEXT_PUBLIC_STRIPE_PUBLISHABLE_KEY (from Stripe)
• Retrigger a deployment so the newly added environment variables are applied.
