Set up a Stripe-backed subscription app for families

Claude Code produced a working subscription app with login, billing, webhooks, portal access, and a dashboard from a staged prompt sequence.

What they did
The developer began by loading several Claude Code plugins and creating a CLAUDE.md file. They asked the agent to build the app's foundation first, then followed with a second request for Stripe plans, Checkout, syncing webhooks, the customer portal, access checks, and a dashboard. After that, they ran tests using Stripe's command-line tools and a test payment card, then had the agent audit the code for security and apply fixes.
How it went
The complete trial run succeeded: Google sign-in, plan selection, a test payment, and the dashboard all functioned, and the webhooks responded with 200 status codes. The review turned up 5 issues, including 2 critical ones: one endpoint leaked other users' data, and another failed to verify authentication. Those problems were fixed.
Tips
Use Stripe test mode until every step works from start to finish. To go live, you still need to swap in production keys and register a production webhook, and Claude Code requires a Pro plan or higher, starting at $20/month.

Try it yourself with Claude Code

Help me build a subscription app for [families/groups] that lets them share expense tracking. Begin with the core project setup, then add Stripe plans, Checkout, webhook syncing, a customer portal, access controls for paying users, and a simple dashboard for [expense categories]. Keep everything in Stripe test mode. Once the full signup and payment flow works, review the code for security problems and fix them. Stop and ask for my approval before any action that would send real payments, delete data, submit forms, or move from test Stripe settings to live ones.
