Daniel PertuNobody in our app ever sees the Stripe customer portal, and four verbs are the reason
Upgrade now and charge the difference, book a downgrade for the end of the paid month with a subscription schedule, cancel at period end, and undo either. Plus the proration preview that has to match the charge, and the accounts that must never be handed to Stripe at all.
Daniel PertuNext 16 renamed middleware to proxy, and our whole auth boundary is one allowlist
In Next 16 the file is proxy.ts, not middleware.ts. Here is how we use it as an optimistic auth check, why the redirect has to carry the refreshed cookies, and the test that stops a public page from quietly redirecting Googlebot.
Daniel Pertu10,000 units a day, one API key, and three caps that are not the same number

Daniel PertuWe let Stripe be the merchant of record for 27 countries, and leaving our own out is the whole decision
Managed Payments makes Stripe the legal seller and puts the tax liability on them, for 3.5%. Switching it on everywhere is the expensive mistake. Our routing is an allowlist, a master switch, and a rule that unknown never means guess.
