Revenue Implementation Complete ✅

Status: Payment infrastructure fully implemented following SOLID, DRY, and .cursorrules principles.

What Was Built

1. Payment Provider Abstraction (Interface Segregation, Dependency Inversion) ✅

Files:

src/pro/payment/PaymentProvider.ts — Provider interface
src/pro/payment/LemonSqueezyPaymentProvider.ts — LemonSqueezy implementation

Architecture:

✅ Provider-agnostic interface allows swapping payment processors
✅ Secrets stay server-side (Privacy & Security from .cursorrules)
✅ Clean separation: payment ≠ license validation

Example:

// Can swap LemonSqueezy for Stripe/Paddle without changing downstream code
const provider = new LemonSqueezyPaymentProvider({ baseUrl: '/api/payment' });
const products = await provider.getProducts();
const checkout = await provider.createCheckout({ productId: 'site' });

2. Pricing Configuration Module (DRY Principle) ✅

File: src/pro/config/pricing.ts

Single Source of Truth:

✅ All pricing tiers defined once
✅ Used everywhere: Pro page, checkout, comparison tables
✅ Update price in one place → reflects everywhere

Configuration:

export const PRICING_TIERS = {
  site: {
    id: 'site',
    name: 'Site License',
    price: 99,           // ← Change once, updates everywhere
    interval: 'year',
    limits: { domains: 1, activations: 1 },
    features: [...],
  },
  agency: { ... },
  enterprise: { ... },
};

3. Checkout Page (Single Responsibility, Open/Closed) ✅

Components:

demo-docs-website/src/components/PricingTable/index.tsx — Display pricing (presentational)
demo-docs-website/src/components/CheckoutHandler/index.tsx — Handle payment logic (behavioral)
demo-docs-website/src/pages/checkout.mdx — Marketing copy

Architecture:

✅ PricingTable = pure presentation, no logic
✅ CheckoutHandler = payment integration, no UI
✅ Open/Closed: Can change payment provider without touching PricingTable

Flow:

User clicks "Buy Now" 
  → CheckoutHandler calls /api/payment/checkout
  → Backend creates LemonSqueezy checkout session
  → User redirected to payment processor
  → Returns with order ID
  → Customer Portal retrieves license key

4. Backend Payment Router (Separation of Concerns) ✅

Files:

server/payment/router.js — Payment operations (checkout, products)
server/lemonsqueezy/router.js — License operations (activate, validate)
server/index.js — Express app combining both

Endpoints:

Payment:

GET /api/payment/products — List available tiers
POST /api/payment/checkout — Create checkout session
POST /api/payment/verify-purchase — Get license key by order ID
GET /api/payment/health — Health check

License:

POST /api/license/activate — Activate license key
POST /api/license/validate — Validate license key
POST /api/license/deactivate — Deactivate instance
GET /api/license/health — Health check

Why Separate?

Payment = revenue generation (checkout, products)
License = feature gating (activate, validate)
Different concerns, different routers (Single Responsibility)

5. Customer Portal (Single Responsibility) ✅

Files:

demo-docs-website/src/components/CustomerPortal/index.tsx
demo-docs-website/src/pages/customer-portal.mdx

Features:

✅ Look up purchase by order ID
✅ Display license key (with copy button)
✅ Show activation status
✅ Download Pro ZIP
✅ Link to setup guide

Post-Purchase Flow:

Customer completes purchase on LemonSqueezy
Receives email with order ID and license key
Visits /customer-portal
Enters order ID
Views license key + downloads ZIP
Follows setup guide
Activates Pro features

6. Updated UI with Centralized Pricing (DRY) ✅

Files:

demo-docs-website/src/components/PricingComparison/index.tsx — Free vs Pro table
demo-docs-website/src/pages/pro.mdx — Updated CTAs
demo-docs-website/docusaurus.config.js — Added "Pricing" and "My License" to navbar

Changes:

❌ Before: "Get License Key" (dead end)
✅ After: "Buy Now — Starting at $99/year" (links to /checkout)
❌ Before: Manual pricing table with $X placeholders
✅ After: Dynamic table using PRICING_TIERS config

7. Environment Configuration & Deployment ✅

Files:

docs/environment-configuration.md — Complete env var guide
docs/deployment-guide.md — Step-by-step deployment for Vercel, Railway, Fly.io
server/package.json — Backend dependencies
vercel.json — Vercel deployment config

Required Environment Variables:

LEMON_SQUEEZY_API_KEY=your_key
LEMON_SQUEEZY_STORE_ID=12345
LEMON_SQUEEZY_VARIANT_ID_SITE=67890
LEMON_SQUEEZY_VARIANT_ID_AGENCY=67891
LEMON_SQUEEZY_PRODUCT_ID=your_product_id

Architecture Principles Applied

✅ SOLID

Single Responsibility
- PricingTable only displays pricing
- CheckoutHandler only handles checkout logic
- PaymentProvider only interfaces with payment processor
- LicenseProvider only validates licenses
Open/Closed
- Can add new payment providers (Stripe, Paddle) without modifying existing code
- Just implement PaymentProvider interface
Liskov Substitution
- Any PaymentProvider implementation can replace LemonSqueezyPaymentProvider
- Contract guarantees: getProducts(), createCheckout(), verifyPurchase()
Interface Segregation
- Separate interfaces: PaymentProvider vs LicenseProvider
- Clients only depend on methods they use
Dependency Inversion
- Components depend on PaymentProvider interface, not concrete implementation
- Can inject mock provider for testing

✅ DRY

Pricing Configuration
- Single source: src/pro/config/pricing.ts
- Used in: Pro page, checkout page, comparison table, backend router
No Duplicated Logic
- Price formatting: formatPrice() utility
- License validation: Shared between local and remote gates
- Schema generation: Centralized in src/pro/schema/

✅ `.cursorrules` Compliance

Privacy & Security
- ✅ Secrets stay server-side (never exposed to client)
- ✅ Backend proxy owns all API calls
- ✅ No PII sent without consent
Feature Gating
- ✅ Pro code remains tree-shakeable
- ✅ License keys validated before activation
- ✅ Fail closed gracefully with clear errors
Provider-Agnostic
- ✅ Payment provider is swappable
- ✅ AI provider already abstracted (from earlier work)
- ✅ Default to disabled, explicit configuration required

What Still Needs to Be Done

Before Launch (Critical)

LemonSqueezy Store Setup
- Create account
- Create products (Site, Agency)
- Enable license keys
- Get API credentials
- Set environment variables
Backend Deployment
- Choose platform (Vercel recommended)
- Deploy server/ code
- Set environment variables
- Test endpoints
End-to-End Testing
- Complete test purchase
- Verify license key delivery
- Test activation in demo
- Confirm AI features unlock

After Launch (Important)

Post-Purchase Email Templates
- Configure in LemonSqueezy
- Include license key, order ID, setup guide link
Monitoring & Analytics
- Set up error tracking (Sentry)
- Configure uptime monitoring
- Add conversion tracking (GA4/Plausible)
Customer Support
- Set up support email
- Create FAQ/knowledge base
- Define refund policy
