Integrating Stripe subscriptions with Firebase applications involves creating several Cloud Functions to handle functionalities like product information, checkout sessions, webhooks, and more.
Steps include setting up a Stripe account, creating Cloud Functions for product and pricing information, and exposing this data to the frontend.
Cloud Functions are created to handle Stripe checkout sessions, connect the frontend to Stripe for subscription management, and process subscription events via webhooks.
A function is implemented to allow users to manage their subscriptions through a Customer Portal session.
Cloud Functions are used to retrieve subscription data and integrate it into the frontend for users to access and manage their subscriptions.
Firestore rules are updated to ensure secure access to subscription data within the user document.
After thorough testing in test mode and ensuring all functionalities work as intended, the system can be switched to live mode for processing subscriptions.
The guide concludes with a reminder of the minimal Cloud Functions needed for integrating Stripe with Firebase applications and encourages sharing project successes.
Overall, the process involves leveraging Firebase Cloud Functions to streamline the integration of Stripe subscriptions, enhancing user experience and subscription management within Firebase applications.
Implementing and testing each step meticulously ensures a smooth transition to live mode for processing subscriptions and successful application launch.
