Micro-SaaS & Stripe Launcher
When to use this skill
-
Building a new SaaS product or adding subscription features.
-
Integrating Stripe Checkout or Webhooks.
-
Planning a product launch.
- Stripe Integration
-
Checkout: Use Stripe Checkout (hosted page) for simplest PCI compliance.
-
Webhooks: Always verify webhook signatures. Handle checkout.session.completed for provisioning access and customer.subscription.deleted for revocation.
-
Idempotency: Ensure webhook handlers are idempotent (handle the same event twice without side effects).
- Architecture (SaaS)
-
Tenancy: Decide early: Single DB with tenant_id column (easiest) vs Database-per-tenant (complex).
-
Onboarding: Create a friction-free onboarding flow. Minimizing steps to "Aha!" moment is critical.
- Launch Checklist
-
Legal: Terms of Service & Privacy Policy pages exist.
-
Email: Transactional emails (Postmark/Resend) configured (SPF/DKIM/DMARC).
-
Analytics: Basic tracking (PostHog/Plausible) to measure conversion.
