The pain

Billing plan management is unsafe and complex due to direct use of provider IDs in the checkout flow.

Who'd pay

SaaS companies and digital platforms managing multiple subscription plans that require secure and flexible management of their products and pricing.

Signal that triggered it

"Platform checkout should reference stable internal plan keys instead of raw provider IDs everywhere. A billing catalog layer gives deterministic plan lookup, safer migrations, and simpler product gating logic."

v1.3: Introduce platform billing catalog (plan keys -> Stripe products/prices)

Published: 17 hours ago

Repository: floomhq/floom Author: federicodeponte ## Why Platform checkout should reference stable internal plan keys instead of raw provider IDs everywhere. A billing catalog layer gives deterministic plan lookup, safer migrations, and simpler product gating logic. Reference pattern: `stripe_catalog_items` + seeding script in `dim-pan/the-saas-template`. ## Scope - Add catalog table/model for platform plans/prices (provider-agnostic key + Stripe IDs). - Add admin/dev seed path for initial catalog entries. - Add lookup path used by checkout flow: `catalog_key -> active price id`. - Support metadata needed for UI display and discount/coupon wiring. ## Acceptance Criteria - Catalog entry can be created/updated without code changes. - Checkout flow resolves a valid catalog key to Stripe price/product IDs. - Inactive/deprecated catalog entries are rejected by checkout. - Tests cover lookup, missing key, inactive key, and migration safety. - Basic docs describe catalog lifecycle (add/rotate/deprecate plans). ## Suggested Labels - `type/feature` - `area/server` - `post-launch`
