FAQPage Schema
How do I integrate Stripe payments into a Next.js app with Convex?

Integrating Stripe payments into Next.js and Convex involves setting up API keys, configuring Stripe Checkout, creating webhook endpoints to handle payment events, and updating your database with customer and subscription data. This Skill walks through the complete flow from environment setup through production deployment.

Can I use Stripe webhooks with Convex to handle subscription updates?

Yes. Stripe webhooks verify and process subscription events in Convex by validating webhook signatures, extracting event data, and updating user records with stripeCustomerId, stripeSubscriptionId, and membershipStatus. Proper webhook verification prevents invalid requests from modifying your database.

What's the best way to set up Stripe subscriptions and one-time payments in the same application?

Both subscription and one-time payments use Stripe Checkout in the same application. The difference lies in your pricing configuration and database schema: subscriptions store stripeSubscriptionId and membershipExpiry, while one-time purchases record the transaction. This Skill covers both patterns in a single integration.

Do I need to handle Stripe timestamp conversion when processing webhooks?

Yes. Stripe webhook timestamps are Unix seconds; converting them incorrectly is a common error. This Skill highlights timestamp handling and other frequent integration mistakes, ensuring your webhook verification and expiry calculations work accurately.

How do I test Stripe payments locally before deploying to production?

Testing includes configuring webhook URLs, using Stripe test keys, and simulating payment events. This Skill covers comprehensive testing strategies and production deployment steps to validate your integration end-to-end.

What environment variables do I need for Stripe integration with Convex?

You need STRIPE_SECRET_KEY for server-side operations, STRIPE_PRICE_ID to specify your pricing, and STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRET to verify incoming webhook events. Proper configuration prevents authentication and validation failures.
