GOLDEN information, wow - I moved to asia 3 months ago and started learning web development for the first time. I'm three months into learning so far and I've learned things like, HTML CSS JS - NodeJS Express EJS and SQLite. I am working on building my first saas product which I know for sure has a lot of untapped potential but my technical skills aren't there yet to achieve this. I am having trouble with Authenticating and managing databases and handling subscriptions like this video! I am aiming for 1 year or under to have the technical skills to ship my first app. Your videos inspire and help so much. Thanks
Bro the same for me 3 months tol and managed to learn html css js svelte created a website and an interective card with svelte and now learning sveltekit while creating my first App. My little advive is to build through the learning process don't try to read the entire course on a technologie before coding you will found yourself stuck in the tutorial infernal loop hope this might be helpfull
Because a subscription add a mental charge, you have to remember you have it and to cancel it when you don’t need it anymore A one-time payment don’t have this issue, and give a feeling of ownership. Many people buy stuff “just in case” if it’s a one time payment
true but sometimes you need a service just for a month. My best approach is to give both options, but trying to push for the 1 time payment in your SaaS.
Also 95% of your customers don't come back after 3 months. So having a larger one time payment might be better for you than three small payments. Of course this is only possible if your app doesn't incure (large) cost to run it, e.g. AI apps.
Great video, Marc. I'm currently working on a SaaS and plan to integrate Stripe just as you described. So far I've only used it for single product purchases on my other web app, but never for a subscription yet. Keep up the great content!
How to handle a situation of the user has signed up to my app using "email1" and I prefill the stripe checkut email with the same email i.e. "email1" but the user changes it to "email2"? How would I know which user had made a payment?
you can pass a client_reference_id which you set to your users database id as query parameter. when you listen to checkout.session.completed the client_reference_id is propagated (;
15:17 does updating their plan from monthly to yearly not trigger a new subscription as well? Sounds like you don't track stripe subscription ids or anything on your side
Hi Marc, would be interested to know how you're handling international sales with regard to tax (VAT, GST). Are you using Stripe's tax features/filing partners?
@@josephlarsen I got the solution, in stripe or lemonsqueezy, you have a post checkout with all the data you will need afterwards, then if the payment success, you will receive this data that you send previously through the webhook. But for that the user must be registered first, otherwise you dont have any email
you can pass a client_reference_id which you set to your users database id as query parameter. when you listen to checkout.session.completed the client_reference_id is propagated (;
Hey Marc, great video, question for you. I know nothing about coding etc. I want to implement what you did with someone cancels their subscriptions and then down the line they want to subscribe again. Is there a way to do this without using the full coding system? That is if a previous customer buy a new product, is it possible for them not to create a new customer in Stripe?
Nice, glad to know I do something similar. I just configured my first stripe payments. Interesting to know about legal and bookkeeping. Since stripe not available in my country I used stripe atlas and have a company in Delaware What about Indonesia. Is stripe support this country.? Also curious about how you pay a taxes and stuff relative to this Thanks bro for nice videos
Hi Marc, thanks! this is really great content. You're a natural.. I was wondering - how long does it take to record such a video? thinking of starting a YT channel but not sure if I have the time.
Hey Marc, really nice video! Just a heads up on that repo though: it contains all of the ShipFast repo code in the commit history, is this intentional?
Cool tutorial! One tip tho, instead of zooming in and moving the camera around, just show where to click with your cursor, it would be easier to follow.
Nice tutorial, thanks Marc.. I have a question what about if the user Cancel the subscription and chooses End of the current period (he will still need access until the end of the month) how can we handle that and remove the access next month ?
Fun fact, I'm exactly at this step today. It helped me a bit About the pricing table, I've decided to build it from the API, retrieving the list of products from the API. But I didn't found how to get the payment links for the moment
How does it work with taxes? Aren’t tax rules different for every country you ship to and you always have to make sure the invoice is fitting these regulations?
I have a doubt @MarcLou. If a user signs up for our SaaS without being subscribed initially, and later creates an account, how do we determine if they're subscribed?
Bonjour marc!!! J' ai un diplôme en MBA mais il ne me sert presqu' à rien. J' aimerais vous demander si les SAAS rapportent beaucoup d'argent pour que je puisse m'y lancer.
Hi Marc, I live in Indonesia and can’t create a Stripe account because it requires a specific type of citizen ID, and my country isn’t on the supported list. Do you know of any workarounds, or can you recommend other payment gateways that support Indonesia?
Hey everyone, quick question! 😊 I have user addresses stored in my database, and I want to pre-fill the address fields on the checkout page automatically when a user goes there. Anyone know how to implement this? It's kinda urgent, so any help would be super appreciated! 🙏 Thanks in advance!
yeah dont follow how its done in this video. its best to use the stripe node.js package and create a server action that can create a stripe checkout session where you can pass the customers email and even address to be pre-filled.
Hey! I have a question tho, for the one time payment model, what happens if that SaaS is just bought by a very few people, and after a few months you decide to kill it. They cant do nothing, because there was only like 30 days money back guarantee, right? Its the only problem I have using subscription/one time, for subscriptions - if project is dead, people just stop paying for it. :D Thanks to anyone that clarifies this to me
I have purchased Shipfast and built my own AI drawing website. I also connected to Stripe payment according to Shipfast's tutorial, but I don't know how to make a user credit system. That is, the user package can only generate 100 times a month, but I can't implement such credit deduction. Can you give us a tutorial on credits?
Are you doing a pricing similar to byedispute.com ? If so, it's just an integer in the database (credit: { type: Number }) I created 4 prices in Stripe and mapped them to a number of credits. In the Stripe webhook > Get the priceId > Update user credits Then whenever customers use the service, I remove -1 credit Hope it helps!
pls create a detail video on marketing i had created many products but get failed in marketing got 0 visitors all the time pls tell me how can i market my site for free plsssssss :/
WARNING WARNING WARNING! Marc wrote some very bad code. In his code, same response is always sent to stripe, even if error happened while processing stripe request. Stripe tracks and collects all responses from your server, and notifies you if many errors occured. Because of that, you should always return response with status 4xx if request processing was unsuccessful, which mark does not have in code. Marc please dont take this as insult! I really apprecieate your work, and your videos are among the ones I am most excited about 😃
So, the information is okay, but your going to fast and it seems like your leaving out steps. Slow down and give more details. I seems like you were just trying to get the video out as fast as possible.
Why everybody or very second grade developer is creating video only using Stripe? Does Stripe pay you? And if not then please look into small businesses, startups, or individuals who are facing problems like getting blocked with existing multi-thousands of dollars in the account with no legit reason by the worst Stripe. Why you guys don't make video on any other payment gateway integration? I understand that Stripe has best docs experience but this is not the legit reason to not make video on using any other payment gateway. Please do favour and help those business, startups that are getting shutdown only because of Stripe. This is really sad.😢
Can we get a video that isn't zooming all across the screen. I would hope everyone trying to work with stripe has more of an attention span than a gold fish, We don't need the attrition hook every 14 seconds.
this guy deceived himself into thinking that is sustainable to make money by deceiving others. he's just one conscious step above of his low-consciousness audience
All the code: github.com/marclou/stripe-sub
Just ship it!
The timing on this video is superb. I’ve been learning NextJS slowly so this really helps connect the dots to setting up my first product
did you make something then ?
This is absolutely the gold standard of modern MERN stack SaaS, thank you so much brother you're a legend

I am a full stack developer. What is the problem you are facing? And on which saas you are working on?
Great content!
Would love to watch a video about legal side of a startup. How and where you register a company, pay taxes etc?
That’s would be great!
go to your local accountant or lawyer and that's all what you need
You are right. This is a video that anyone trying to configure and use Stripe quickly should see. Thank you!
Would be great to see a video on the logic behind why customers are more likely to convert on a large one time payment rather than small monthly

Any specific reason you use the payment links instead of a Stripe checkout session? Just simplicity?
found your channel recently and just wanted to lyk entertaining it is for me
Why not just use stripe payment table?
interesting, why dont you return a checkout session url based on a price id ? I m always reluctant to handle payment stuff on the front end
This tutorial was meant to show how easy it can be done so you ship fast. But you can use an API, definitely!

Great one Marc, please can you do for Lemon Squeezy subscriptions. Stripe isn't allowed in my country.
2:14 - do you usually show this custom message after payment? why not redirect directly back to website (the 2nd radio button)?
That works too. It's actually even better, didn't notice until now 😅
I wonder if there is a way to create a payment link based on an existing customer stripe id.
Fantastic video, thanks Marc! ♥
do you do consulting?

About the pricing table, I've decided to build it from the API, retrieving the list of products from the API.

How do you reconcile monthly subscription payments from stripe at your accountant software?
How does it work with taxes? Aren’t tax rules different for every country you ship to and you always have to make sure the invoice is fitting these regulations?
I was up till 3 am trying to get this to work... failure.... I wake up to youtube recommending this video!!!!!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤

you should see that after clicking three dots on the right of each price row
