One-Time Payments

Learn how to implement one-time payments in your Indie Kit application

Let's implement one-time payments in your Indie Kit application! 🚀

Prerequisites ✅

  1. Set up a payment gateway:

  2. Create a plan in the database:

    • Go to /super-admin/plans
    • Add plan details (name, features, quotas)
    • Enable one-time pricing (hasOnetimePricing: true)
    • Add one-time price ID from your payment gateway

Implementation 🛠️

Use the getSubscribeUrl helper with PlanType.ONETIME:

import getSubscribeUrl, { PlanType, PlanProvider } from '@/lib/plans/getSubscribeUrl'

// Example: One-time payment with Stripe
const stripeOneTimeUrl = getSubscribeUrl({
  codename: "lifetime",
  type: PlanType.ONETIME,
  provider: PlanProvider.STRIPE,
})

// Example: One-time payment with LemonSqueezy
const lemonOneTimeUrl = getSubscribeUrl({
  codename: "lifetime",
  type: PlanType.ONETIME,
  provider: PlanProvider.LEMON_SQUEEZY,
})

Usage Example 📝

Here's a complete example of a one-time payment button component:

function LifetimeAccessButton({ plan }) {
  if (!plan.hasOnetimePricing) return null;

  return (
    <div className="pricing-card">
      <h2>{plan.name}</h2>
      <p className="text-xl font-bold">
        ${plan.onetimePrice / 100} - Lifetime Access
      </p>
      
      <Link
        href={getSubscribeUrl({
          codename: plan.codename,
          type: PlanType.ONETIME,
          provider: PlanProvider.STRIPE,
        })}
      >
        <Button className="w-full">
          Buy Lifetime Access
        </Button>
      </Link>
      
      <p className="text-sm text-muted-foreground mt-2">
        One-time payment, lifetime access
      </p>
    </div>
  )
}
