Stripe Setup

HostMetrics uses Stripe for subscription billing. This setup is optional for development if you’re not working on billing features.

​
1. Create a Stripe Account

  1. Sign up at stripe.com
  2. Stay in Test Mode (toggle in the top-right of the dashboard)

​
2. Get API Keys

  1. Go to Developers > API Keys
  2. Copy your Publishable key and Secret key
  3. Add to .env.local:
NEXT_PUBLIC_STRIPE_PUBLISHABLE_KEY=pk_test_...
STRIPE_SECRET_KEY=sk_test_...

​
3. Set Up Webhook

For local development, use the Stripe CLI: 
# Install Stripe CLI
brew install stripe/stripe-cli/stripe

# Login
stripe login

# Forward webhooks to your local server
stripe listen --forward-to localhost:3000/api/stripe/webhook
Copy the webhook signing secret and add it: 
STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRET=whsec_...

​
4. Create Products and Plans

In the Stripe Dashboard, create subscription products that match your plan tiers. The webhook handler at /api/stripe/webhook processes these events:
  • checkout.session.completed — New subscription
  • customer.subscription.updated — Plan change
  • customer.subscription.deleted — Cancellation
  • invoice.paid — Payment recorded
  • invoice.payment_failed — Payment failure
If you’re not working on billing features, you can skip Stripe setup entirely. The app works without it — billing pages will show errors but other features are unaffected.
