About this guide
This development guide walks you through everything you need to do to build a high-quality Next.js app integrated with Stripe. Check out the tasks below to get started. To save time, you can also use our boilerplate, which gives you a complete React codebase with all of these tasks done for you. Okay, let's dive in!
Tasks
Setup your Next.js app
Create a Next.js app usingnpx create-next-app
and then run your project locally with thenpm run dev
command.Create a Integrate with Stripe CheckoutNext.js API route at
/pages/api/stripe-checkout.js
that receives aplanId
value, creates a new Stripe Checkout session for the given plan usingstripe.checkout.sessions.create()
, and then returns thesession
object. Next you'll create a/purchase/[planId]
page that initiates the checkout flow. This page should automatically make a request to/api/stripe-checkout
to get a new Checkout session and and then redirect to Checkout by callingstripe.redirectToCheckout(session.id)
. Finally, you'll design your plan selection UI using your component library of choice and link each plan to the/purchase/[planId]
page you've setup above.Create a Integrate with Stripe Customer PortalNext.js API route at
/pages/api/stripe-portal.js
that creates a new Stripe Customer Portal session usingstripe.billingPortal.sessions.create()
and then returns thesession
object. Next you'll create a/settings/billing
page that initiates the Customer Portal flow. This page should automatically make a request to/api/stripe-portal
to get a new session and then redirect to the Customer Portal using thesession.url
value. Next you'll create a settings UI using your component library of choice and link to the/settings/billing
page you setup above. Now your users can easily manage billing info and change payment methods.In order to handle Stripe payment events you'll need to setup a webhook server endpoint. Create a Create a Stripe webhookNext.js API route at
/pages/api/stripe-webhook.js
that uses thestripe
library to parse data from the request body, validate the event usingstripe.webhooks.constructEvent()
, and then call a handler function for each of the following events:checkout.session.completed
,invoice.payment_succeeded
,invoice.payment_failed
,customer.subscription.updated
, andcustomer.subscription.deleted
. Your event handlers should update the user in the database so that your database contains their current plan and subscription status. When running your app locally, Stripe won't be able to ping your webhook endpoint, so you'll want to make sure to use the Stripe CLI to listen to events and route them to your local/api/stripe-webhook
endpoint.
Get the code
You can get the code for this guide with our Next.js and Stripe Boilerplate. You'll get a complete Next.js codebase with Stripe integration, all the tasks listed above done for you, and a responsive multi-page template. It should save you about two weeks of development time.
