OK cool. Does this let you manage user subscriptions on your front-end unlike firebase stripe extension (which needs customer to use stripe account to manage subscription)

Yes, account admin/owner can change subscription plan, update credit card and delete/cancel the subscription plan via the front-end. Customers don't even need to know you are using Stripe.

Feel free to login to the live demo and use the testing credit card 4242 4242 4242 4242 to play around the subscription management as the account owner.

I don't really know Next.js. What would the benefits Next.js can bring in?

Using the firebase cloud functions. All the backend code is written as cloud functions.

I found cloud functions are relatively slow compared to the firebase web sdk. I would only use cloud functions only when necessary for security reasons

Hi there , do we need to have a paid plan for this project to work ? How about you create a small blog post or maybe a tutorial to just integrate stripe api and once payment is done maybe add in a value of true inside firebase database. I am a total noob with firebase and stripe . I am working with asp.net core and react but recently A fellow friend needed help with firebase and stripe

Firebase is awesome and I have been using it for a long time. But, I am concerned about the scalability for large projects like something with 100k users using it at the same time.

This looks great. Does it have user roles ?

Good question. Yes, there are two roles for each subscription account: admin and user. Admin can change plan, view invoices and manage users.

All the Stripe stuff is on the front end? Don't you need a lot of that server side?

Most of the Stripe stuff is on server-side with Cloud Function.

It would be great if there's also a Vue.js implementation.

Thanks for the fireact and your efforts. When I deploy , getting error on all of the cloud functions code. What could be the issue?.

I was missing 'mailgun-js' library, after npm i mailgun-js, all cloud functions deployed successfully.
