Supabase with Stripe: Payment Integration Tutorial

Integrating Stripe with Supabase enables secure payment processing, subscription management, billing automation, and revenue tracking creating complete monetization system for SaaS applications, e-commerce platforms, membership sites, and digital products. Unlike basic payment buttons, production payment systems require sophisticated features including customer portal, subscription lifecycle management, webhook handling, pricing plans, trial periods, proration, invoice generation, payment method management, and dunning for failed payments. This comprehensive guide covers setting up Stripe with Supabase connecting accounts and configuring webhooks, implementing one-time payments with Checkout Sessions, building subscription system with recurring billing, creating customer portal for self-service management, handling webhooks securely with signature verification, managing pricing tiers and plans, implementing usage-based billing, and deploying payment infrastructure. Stripe integration demonstrates production payment patterns essential for monetizing applications. Before starting, review Edge Functions, Next.js integration, and security practices.

Payment Integration Best Practices

  • Verify Webhook Signatures: Always validate Stripe webhook signatures preventing unauthorized requests
  • Handle Idempotency: Process webhooks idempotently using unique event IDs preventing duplicates
  • Sync Subscription Status: Keep database subscription status synchronized with Stripe avoiding inconsistencies
  • Test with Stripe CLI: Use Stripe CLI simulating webhooks during development
  • Implement Error Handling: Handle failed payments gracefully notifying users and retrying
  • Use Customer Portal: Leverage Stripe Customer Portal reducing custom billing UI development
  • Monitor Webhooks: Track webhook delivery and processing identifying failures
Critical: Always verify webhook signatures with Stripe secret preventing security breaches. Never trust webhook data without verification. Handle idempotency preventing duplicate processing. Test payment flows thoroughly including failures. Never store credit card details handling PCI compliance. Review security practices.

Common Issues

  • Webhook Not Receiving: Check endpoint URL accessibility, verify webhook secret matches Stripe dashboard
  • Subscription Not Syncing: Ensure webhook handler updates database correctly, check for errors in logs
  • Customer Portal Errors: Verify customer exists in Stripe, check return URL is valid HTTPS endpoint
  • Test Mode Issues: Use test API keys, test cards, and test webhook endpoints during development

Enhancement Ideas

  1. Add dunning management sending reminders for failed payments
  2. Implement promotional codes and discounts
  3. Create invoice PDF generation and email delivery
  4. Add team billing with seat-based pricing

Conclusion

Integrating Stripe with Supabase enables complete payment infrastructure with subscriptions, billing automation, customer portal, and revenue tracking creating production-ready monetization system. By setting up Stripe with Supabase connecting accounts and configuring webhooks, implementing checkout sessions for one-time and recurring payments, building subscription system with lifecycle management, creating customer portal for self-service billing, handling webhooks securely with signature verification, managing pricing plans and tiers, implementing usage-based billing for metered features, and deploying payment infrastructure with proper error handling, you build scalable payment system. Stripe integration advantages include secure payment processing without PCI compliance burden, flexible subscription management with trials and proration, comprehensive customer portal reducing support burden, automated invoice generation and delivery, detailed analytics and reporting, and webhook-driven architecture ensuring data consistency. Always verify webhook signatures preventing security breaches, handle idempotency avoiding duplicate processing, sync subscription status maintaining consistency, test thoroughly with Stripe CLI, implement error handling for failed payments, use Customer Portal reducing development, and monitor webhooks tracking failures. Payment integration demonstrates patterns essential for SaaS applications, e-commerce platforms, membership sites, and digital products requiring monetization.
