SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Environment setup for secure credentials: Uses DODO_PAYMENTS_API_KEY and DODO_PAYMENTS_WEBHOOK_SECRET to keep secrets out of code and enable webhook verification.

  • Webhook-driven state management: Defines which events to listen for (e.g., payment.succeeded, subscription.active, refund.succeeded) and recommends verifying webhook signatures before acting.

Quick Start

Use this Skill to generate a secure server-side checkout session and webhook handler plan for your Next.js or Express app using your Dodo API key and webhook secret.

FAQPage Schema
How do I integrate Dodo Payments for subscription billing in a SaaS application?

Setting up secure credentials for Dodo Payments involves using environment variables, specifically DODO_PAYMENTS_API_KEY and DODO_PAYMENTS_WEBHOOK_SECRET. This configuration keeps secrets out of your codebase and enables secure webhook signature verification for payment processing.

What's the best way to verify Dodo Payments webhook signatures for fulfillment?

Verifying Dodo Payments webhook signatures requires using the DODO_PAYMENTS_WEBHOOK_SECRET to validate incoming payloads before acting on them. This ensures that events like payment.succeeded or refund.succeeded are authentic and safe for webhook-driven fulfillment.

Does Dodo Payments support one-time checkout sessions and return URLs for Next.js apps?

Dodo Payments supports creating checkout sessions for both one-time purchases and subscriptions, including handling return URLs. This works with Next.js or Express apps by generating server-side checkout sessions using your specific Dodo API key.

Why does my Dodo Payments integration fail to track refund and dispute events?

Tracking refund and dispute events fails when webhook handlers do not listen for specific events like refund.succeeded or lack robust error handling for API failure modes. Proper webhook-driven state management requires verifying signatures before acting on these events.

Do I need a customer portal for Dodo Payments subscription management?

A customer portal is supported for Dodo Payments subscription management, allowing users to manage their active subscriptions. This is part of the comprehensive billing scenario handling that includes payment status tracking and refund or dispute event processing.
