Paywall Implementation in Next.js with Supabase & Stripe
Building a paywall with Supabase and Stripe ensures that only subscribed users can access premium content. Below are common questions about implementing this setup.
How does Update help with paywall management?
Update simplifies authentication and payment handling, ensuring users can seamlessly subscribe and access restricted content.
Can I use Stripe Checkout for subscriptions?
Yes! Stripe Checkout allows users to subscribe with a secure payment flow, and Update syncs their status with Supabase.
How do I enforce paywall restrictions?
Supabase row-level security ensures only paying users can access content, and Next.js API routes verify subscription status.
What happens if a user cancels their subscription?
Stripe sends a webhook to Update, which updates the user’s status in Supabase to restrict access when the subscription ends.
Can I offer a free trial before enforcing the paywall?
Yes! Stripe allows free trials, and Update can manage trial periods before requiring payment.
