# SunScope Extra — Stripe Subscription Setup
## Step-by-step guide to wiring up the £2/month paywall
SunScope is a static site with no backend server, so this guide uses
**Stripe Payment Links** — a no-code/no-server approach where Stripe
hosts the checkout page for you. You get a URL, you paste it into the
app. Done.
---
## STEP 1 — Create a Stripe account
1. Go to **https://stripe.com** and sign up (free).
2. Complete the identity verification (required before going live).
3. You'll land in the Stripe Dashboard. Make sure you're in **Test mode**
first (toggle in the top-left) — you can do the whole setup in test
mode and flip to live when ready.
---
## STEP 2 — Create the £2/month product
1. In the Stripe Dashboard sidebar, go to **Product catalogue → + Add product**.
2. Fill in:
- **Name:** `SunScope Extra`
- **Description:** `Full 14-day forecast, specialist profiles, custom columns`
- **Pricing model:** `Recurring`
- **Price:** `£2.00`
- **Billing period:** `Monthly`
3. Click **Save product**.
---
## STEP 3 — Create a Payment Link
This is the URL you'll drop into the app — Stripe hosts the whole
checkout, card capture, and subscription management for you.
1. In the product you just created, click **Create payment link**.
2. Settings to check:
- **Quantity:** 1 (fixed)
- **Collect customer email:** Yes (you'll need this to verify subscribers)
- **Allow promotion codes:** Up to you (handy for early adopters)
- **After payment:** set the redirect URL to `https://sunscope.net/?pro=1`
(we'll use this query param to activate Pro — see Step 5)
3. Click **Create link**.
4. Copy the URL — it looks like: `https://buy.stripe.com/test_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx`
---
## STEP 4 — Update the upsell card in app.js
Open `assets/js/app.js`. Find **line ~913** and **line ~923**. You need
to change two things:
### 4a — Update the pricing line (line ~913)
Find this:
```
£2 / month · launching soon
```
Change it to:
```
£2 / month · cancel any time
```
### 4b — Replace the mailto: button with the Stripe link (line ~923)
Find this block (starts around line 923):
```javascript
href=${`mailto:fraxle@yahoo.co.uk?subject=${encodeURIComponent('SunScope Extra — notify me at launch')}&body=${encodeURIComponent('Hi — please let me know when SunScope Extra launches. (Triggered by ' + dayLong + ')')}`}
```
Replace the entire `href=` value with your Stripe Payment Link:
```javascript
href="https://buy.stripe.com/YOUR_ACTUAL_LINK_HERE"
```
Also change the button label on line ~938 from:
```
Notify me at launch
```
To:
```
Subscribe — £2/month
```
And add `target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"` so it opens in a
new tab (the user stays on the forecast page):
```javascript
<a
href="https://buy.stripe.com/YOUR_ACTUAL_LINK_HERE"
target="_blank"
rel="noopener noreferrer"
style=${{ ...existing styles... }}
>
Subscribe £2/month
</a>
```
---
## STEP 5 — Activate Pro after payment (simple URL param method)
When Stripe redirects back to `https://sunscope.net/?pro=1` after a
successful payment, the app needs to detect that and set `isPro = true`.
Open `assets/js/app.js` and find the `isPro` state (line ~116):
```javascript
const [isPro, setIsPro] = useState(false);
```
Replace that single line with:
```javascript
const [isPro, setIsPro] = useState(() => {
// Check URL param first (just returned from Stripe checkout)
const params = new URLSearchParams(window.location.search);
if (params.get('pro') === '1') {
localStorage.setItem('sunscope_pro', '1');
// Clean the URL so the param doesn't stay visible
window.history.replaceState({}, '', window.location.pathname);
return true;
}
// Check localStorage (returning Pro subscriber)
return localStorage.getItem('sunscope_pro') === '1';
});
```
That's it. After subscribing, the user lands back on the site as Pro,
and localStorage remembers them on future visits.
> **Important caveat:** This is a trust-based system — it stores Pro
> status in the user's browser. Anyone who knows the trick can set
> `localStorage.setItem('sunscope_pro','1')` in their console. For a
> £2/month product with a small audience this is probably fine. When
> you want proper enforcement, see Step 6.
---
## STEP 6 — (Optional) Proper server-side verification
When you're ready to properly enforce subscriptions (no console tricks):
1. **Stripe Customer Portal** — enable it in the Stripe Dashboard so
subscribers can manage/cancel their own subscriptions.
2. **Webhook → backend** — Stripe fires a `checkout.session.completed`
event when someone subscribes. You'd need a tiny serverless function
(Cloudflare Worker, Vercel Edge Function, or Netlify Function) to:
- Receive the webhook
- Store the subscriber's email + Stripe customer ID in a small DB
(or even Airtable/Supabase free tier)
- Issue a signed token (JWT) back to the browser
3. **Replace localStorage** with checking that JWT against your backend
on page load.
This is a future step — the localStorage approach is perfectly fine for
launch.
---
## STEP 7 — Go live
When you're happy with testing:
1. In Stripe Dashboard, flip the **Test mode** toggle to **Live mode**.
2. Repeat Steps 23 in live mode to get a live Payment Link URL.
3. Replace the test URL in `app.js` with the live URL.
4. Deploy.
