Hello everyone, I’m planning to do my first large scale project on WeWeb, 1. I’m wondering whether I could get any hints on how to work, and what to avoid. 2. I’d like also to ask about the workflow of a design system/reusable components. Does it change everywhere when I update the UI kit/design system? Or do the new classes do the trick? 3. Is working with Stripe on WeWeb’s side safe? I saw the docs, but there is nothing about how it works in the background. Thanks a lot ---

Hey~ welcome! 1&2 - Check out the Weweb academy (just google it). That will get you up to speed real fast 🙂 You can also check out Weweb’s Youtube channel, especially the most recent few videos - those are probably the vids that are going to be uploaded into Weweb academy part 2 and there’s a video about design systems too that’s been recently uploaded. 3 - You can use Stripe with Weweb! Weweb has a dedicated Stripe plugin for it, which I guess you saw in the docs. But if you want to have more complex payment schemes like subscriptions then you need to use your back-end to connect with Stripe. That’s what I’m doing. ---

Hey first of all thanks for the feedback, could you elaborate your experience on how limited is Stripe payments with WeWeb plugin? ---

My experience is that the Stripe plugin is pretty limited. It is basically a glorified check out form that helps you to collect payments (only). However, if you want to do things like allow for cancellation of plans, invoice, recurring subscriptions, multiple plans / upgrading & downgrading, free trials, you will have to use Stripe docs and your back-end to make it happen. The solution I found is to use Stripe’s check out page and webhooks and use my back-end to hook it all up, and in Weweb I am basically only passing the information over. With that being said, if you have Weweb, a back-end, and Stripe, it’s definitely possible to collect payments. You just need to glue it all together 😂 ---

What backend do you use for this? 🙂 I’m thinking of Supabase cloud functions. ---

Xano, so far so good! But I think most of the back ends function very similarly 😊 ---

Hey, thanks for the feedback on our Stripe plugin. We’ll definitely add new features to it in the coming months (say in September/October). In the meantime, you can work with it using your backend as @raelyn mentioned! Keep in mind that some features of Stripe are expected to be used on the backend though, so WeWeb will never cover 100% of your payment needs with Stripe. That’s why we recomend Xano or Supabase as backends to use along with Stripe 🙂 ---
