Architecture: The starter kit’s architecture involves several steps for setup:

1. Initiate Deployment:
   • Use the Vercel Deploy Button to create a new repository with the template on your GitHub account.
   • A Supabase project will be created, and SQL migrations will set up the database schema.
   • Ensure the Supabase environment variables are correctly configured.
2. Configure Auth:
   • Set your main production URL in both Supabase and Vercel deployment settings.
   • Optionally, configure redirect wildcards and OAuth providers.
3. Configure Stripe:
   • Create a webhook in the Stripe Developers section to connect Stripe to your Vercel Serverless Functions.
   • Set up environment variables for Stripe, including webhook secret.
   • Redeploy your app in Vercel for the changes to take effect.
4. Create Product and Pricing Information:
   • Your application’s webhook listens for product updates on Stripe.
   • Create your product and pricing information in the Stripe Dashboard.
5. Configure the Stripe Customer Portal:
   • Customize branding and configure settings in the Stripe Customer Portal.
6. Going Live:
   • Archive all test mode Stripe products before going live.
   • Configure production environment variables for Stripe and Supabase.
   • Redeploy your app in Vercel for production mode.
7. A Note on Reliability:
   • The template mirrors completed Stripe transactions to the Supabase database.
   • In case of database unavailability, Stripe will retry sending its response to the webhook for up to three days.

Develop Locally:

• Clone the GitHub repository to your local machine.
• Use the Vercel CLI to link your project and set up environment variables.
• Start local webhook forwarding using the Stripe CLI.
• Install dependencies and run the Next.js client locally.

Going Live:

• Archive testing products in Stripe.
• Configure production environment variables for both Stripe and Supabase.
• Redeploy your application in Vercel.

A Note on Reliability:

• The template handles situations where the Supabase database is unavailable.
• Stripe will retry sending its response to the webhook for up to three days.
