Next.js Stripe Integration FAQs

Question 1

Does this skill support recurring subscriptions?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it covers the entire subscription workflow, including creating product tiers, managing subscription status in your database, and handling renewal/cancellation webhooks.

Question 2

Is stripe.redirectToCheckout() still recommended for Next.js?

Accepted Answer

No, it is deprecated and may fail in modern environments. The current best practice is to create a session server-side and redirect the user directly to the returned session URL.

Question 3

How do I handle Stripe webhooks in Next.js App Router?

Accepted Answer

Create an API route that disables automatic body parsing, retrieves the raw request body, and uses the Stripe SDK to verify the signature against your webhook secret.

Question 4

Where should I initialize the Stripe client in my project?

Accepted Answer

You should initialize the Stripe client inside the API route function rather than at the module level. This ensures environment variables are properly loaded from the environment at runtime.

Question 5

How do I prevent auth middleware from blocking Stripe webhooks?

Accepted Answer

You must explicitly add your webhook and checkout API paths to the 'unauthenticatedPaths' or public routes list in your middleware configuration to allow Stripe to communicate with your server.
