A new version has been released as NPM packages to make the project more flexible and customizable. Please read the Fireactjs update announcement.
Many SaaS products are moving to React these days, and my own product has been through the same journey this year.
As I started the project, I decided to use Firebase for authentication, hosting and storing data. So I was looking for an existing solution. However, I couldn't find one so I built the first version of Fireact back in May 2020.
But that's not enough. As with most SaaS applications, I needed the feature to collect subscription payment. Now, the project version 2 is released.
Key features are:
- Single-sign-on supporting Google, Facebook, Microsoft and a wild range of sign-in methods.
- Stripe integration to manage subscription accounts and payments.
- Supporting multiple subscription accounts per user
- User permission management in subscription accounts
- User permission framework for the development of your SaaS functionalities
Why Fireact
I hope the project can be a good starting point for developers working on SaaS projects. It comes with the features you need to manage users and subscriptions so you don't need to spend time on developing these features again. Just focus on the key functionalities of your SaaS project, it will save you tons of time.

Use testing credit card 4242 4242 4242 4242 to create your testing subscription account.
Any feedback is welcomed.

This is useful. Thanks
It would be great if there's also a Vue.js implementation.
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.
Thanks looks very good!. Docs would be very helpful too. .
Thanks, the plan is to start writing docs. At the moment, only got the installation doc.
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.
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.
Is there a license associated with the project?
MIT license
Awesome!
This is great. I have a React/Firestore app and I'm planning to add SaaS functionality so this will be an awesome resource. Thanks for sharing!
Feel free to open issues in the Github repo if you have questions. Would love to follow your progress on making your product on top of the project.
This is really cool. Good work 👏
Hi,
It's cool
Possible to integrate Next.js?
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
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.
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.
invoices collection is not created on the account. I see webhook code is not getting invoked. How to troubleshoot it?.
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
