This document outlines the integration of Altly with Stripe for subscription management and payment processing.

It covers the creation of product catalogs in Stripe, updates to the Supabase database structure, and the implementation of new API endpoints to handle subscriptions and user management.

The integration includes setting up customer email notifications, updating the codebase with new environment variables, and creating webhooks for payment processing.

The document also highlights areas for improvement, such as refactoring Stripe boilerplate code, consolidating API endpoints, improving API documentation, and enhancing code reusability through better componentization.

Overall, this integration aims to streamline the subscription process for Altly users while providing a foundation for future development and maintenance.

These were created based on the plans from https://www.altly.ai/#pricing. However, the token counts relative to pricing should be re-evaluated, as the current allocation doesn't align well with the price difference between plans. 500 tokens/image for $20 would scale up to 1000 for $40 or 1500 for $60. In theory they should get a discount for paying more. So maybe 1750 for $60.

1. Basic Plan
   • Price: $19
   • Tokens: 500
2. Professional Plan
   • Price: $59
   • Tokens: 2000
3. Agency Plan
   • Price: $119
   • Token: 5000

Adding New Products

• Go to the Product Catalog.
• Click the "Add product" button in the Upper Right Corner

• Enter the product details:
  • Name: Give your product a name
  • Description: Add an optional description
  • Set the pricing:
  • Choose between "One-time" or "Recurring" pricing
    • “Recurring” is the Subscription model.
      • Be sure to choose “Monthly” for recurring.
      • Though it also might be worth having a “Yearly” model discounted. $20/month or $200/year, something like that.
    • “One-time” is where adding ad-hoc Image Credits could occur for people who have run out of credits for the month could add some. Might be worth having a couple options with discounting as you increase the credits.
• Enter the price amount.
• Click “More Options” to add the amount of Tokens a Product will provide as a key/value pair. The key MUST be “tokens”, and the value MUST be a number.
• Click "Add product" to save and create the new product.
