Stripe Integration
Add checkout, portal sessions, billing status, webhooks, product catalogs, metering, and database-backed billing snapshots.
Install from the CLI
farm add integration stripe --uiConfig-first setup
import { stripe } from "@farm.js/stripe";
export const integrations = {
billing: stripe({
secretKey: process.env.STRIPE_SECRET_KEY,
webhookSecret: process.env.STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRET,
products: [
{
id: "pro",
name: "Pro",
mode: "subscription",
currency: "usd",
unitAmount: 2900,
interval: "month",
},
],
// Without `billing`, the portal opens only for the customer this returns.
async resolveCustomer(ctx) {
return ctx.req.get<string>("user.stripeCustomerId") ?? null;
},
}),
};Choose SDK ownership
Let @farm.js/stripe construct the SDK
The config-first example is the adapter-owned path. When instance is omitted, the
@farm.js/stripe adapter creates a real Stripe SDK client from secretKey, supplied directly or
through STRIPE_SECRET_KEY.
Provide an application-owned instance
import Stripe from "stripe";
import { stripe } from "@farm.js/stripe";
const stripeClient = new Stripe(process.env.STRIPE_SECRET_KEY!, {
maxNetworkRetries: 2,
});
export const integrations = {
billing: stripe({
instance: stripeClient,
webhookSecret: process.env.STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRET,
}),
};Use this path when the application needs to own retries, telemetry, API-version settings, or a compatible test adapter. The instance wins if a secret key is also supplied. Webhook, product, billing, route, and storage settings remain integration options in either mode.
stripeClient above is the vendor's Stripe SDK object—not another Farm wrapper. The
stripe(...) call remains responsible for adapting that SDK to Farm routes, callers, webhooks, and
lifecycle behavior.
Usage
const checkout = await apiClient.billing.checkout.post({
body: {
productId: "pro",
successPath: "/success",
cancelPath: "/pricing",
},
});
if (checkout.data?.redirectTo) {
window.location.href = checkout.data.redirectTo;
}Database-backed billing
The Stripe integration can use Farm's integration ORM layer through ctx.args.db, so relational billing snapshot reads and writes can work across supported database clients. This is database access, not Farm KV storage.
What Stripe adds
| Area | Details |
|---|---|
| Catalog | Public product and price metadata for pricing pages. |
| Checkout | A typed checkout route that can return JSON for callers or redirect for browser navigation. |
| Customer portal | A typed route for opening Stripe's billing portal. |
| Billing status | Subscription, trial, seats, cancellation, and plan state. |
| Entitlements | Feature, limit, usage, meter, and billing checks. |
| Webhooks | Event verification and snapshot updates for checkout and subscription events. |
| Database | Schema-backed billing account snapshots through ctx.args.db. |
Common callers
const products = await api.billing.products.get();const status = await api.billing.status.get();
if (status.data?.status === "active") {
console.log(status.data.planId);
}const portal = await api.billing.portal.post({
body: {
returnTo: "/settings/billing",
},
});
if (portal.data?.redirectTo) {
window.location.href = portal.data.redirectTo;
}Checkout and portal return paths must be same-origin, root-relative application paths. Protocol-relative paths such as //example.com are rejected.
A portal session exposes invoices, payment methods, and cancellation, so the portal route only acts
for an identified caller: the billing owner from billing.resolveOwner, or, without billing, the
Stripe customer id returned by resolveCustomer(ctx). A customerId or sessionId in the request
must belong to that caller. With neither configured, the route answers 403.
const session = await apiClient.billing.session({ query: { sessionId } });Checkout session ids appear in success URLs and browser history, so the session route returns the
customer, email, metadata, subscription, and line items only to the session's owner. Anyone else
gets the id, status, paymentStatus, and mode with the identifying fields empty.
A session Farm's checkout route created carries its owner in the metadata. A session created elsewhere (a Payment Link, the Dashboard) carries none, so Farm applies it only to the owner whose stored billing account already has that session's Stripe customer; it never links a new customer to whoever presents the session id.
Billing owner
Production billing usually needs an owner resolver. It returns the billing owner for the request: a
user (kind: "user") or an organization (kind: "organization"), or null when nobody is signed in.
Model workspaces and teams as organizations.
stripe({
secretKey: process.env.STRIPE_SECRET_KEY,
webhookSecret: process.env.STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRET,
billing: {
async resolveOwner(ctx) {
const userId = ctx.req.get<string>("user.id");
if (!userId) {
return null;
}
return {
id: userId,
kind: "user",
email: ctx.req.get<string>("user.email"),
};
},
},
});The same ctx includes ctx.args.db, ctx.data, request params, the raw request, and request-scoped context values from middleware or auth integrations.
Production notes
- Set
STRIPE_SECRET_KEY,STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRET, andAPP_BASE_URL. - Keep product IDs stable because they become the app-facing contract.
- Verify webhook signatures before mutating billing state.
- A checkout grants its plan only once the session is
completeand its payment ispaid(or needed none). Subscribe the webhook endpoint tocheckout.session.completedandcheckout.session.async_payment_succeededso delayed payment methods are fulfilled when the money arrives. - The upgrade route changes seat quantity with the proration set in
billing.seats.prorationBehavior("create_prorations"by default, or"always_invoice"/"none"). AprorationBehaviorin the request body is ignored, so a caller cannot add seats without being charged for them. - Subscribe the webhook endpoint to
customer.subscription.updated: a plan switch made in Stripe (customer portal, Dashboard, or API) movesplanIdandproductIdto the configured product whosepriceIdorlookupKeythe subscription now bills. Seat add-on and meter prices never count as the plan. A subscription that bills no configured product drops to thefreeplan with a warning, so give every subscription product apriceIdorlookupKey. - Subscribe it to
customer.subscription.deleted,invoice.paid, andinvoice.payment_failedas well. When the subscription ends, the owner moves to thefreeplan with statuscanceled. Invoice events change the status only for the owner's current subscription, so a one-off invoice never reactivates a canceled one. Features and limits come from the plan only while the status isactive,trialing, orpast_due;canceled,unpaid, andincompleteget thefreeplan's. A Stripepausedsubscription is stored asincompleteandincomplete_expiredascanceled. - Checkout only sells products with
public: falsewhen they also setpurchasable: true. A hidden product is otherwise refused, so knowing its id is not enough to buy it. report-usagesends the caller'sidempotencyKeyto Stripe as<customer id>:<key>. Stripe dedupes meter event identifiers across the account, so one customer's key can never claim, and drop, another customer's event.stripeEventIdentifierin the response is the scoped value.- Store billing snapshots through the integration schema when the app needs fast entitlement reads.
- Run
farm stripe migrate --applyafter upgrading so the additivebilling_checkout_sessiontable can persistently deduplicate success-page and webhook delivery. - A
one_timeproduct without aplanId(credits, add-ons) sells no access: its checkout leaves the owner's plan, status, and subscription as they were. Record the purchase inhooks.onCheckoutCompleted, which receives the sold product aspurchasedProductId. - Checkout completion, billing sync, and payment hooks are claimed by Stripe session ID before they
run. Custom persistence should implement
claimCheckoutSession; without it, Farm falls back to comparing the stored billing snapshot, so its billing-account reader must accompanysaveBillingSnapshot. ImplementreleaseCheckoutSessionalongside it: when saving the snapshot or a checkout hook fails, Farm releases the claim so Stripe's retry can finish the checkout. The built-in storage adapters do this already. - Use server callers for admin-only operations and browser callers for checkout/portal redirects.
- The billing POST routes act for the signed-in caller from its session cookie, so a request a
browser sends from another origin is refused with
403: a page on another site cannot report usage, start a checkout or open the portal for your visitor. Calls with noOrigin(your own server, a script) are unaffected. If your frontend runs on another origin, list it inallowedOrigins, using the same syntax asserverActions.allowedOrigins. - Test checkout success, cancel, webhook replay, portal return, subscription update, and trial edge cases.
