Prerequisites

• The user must have the owner role (no Stripe account for tenants)
• The user must have a stripeCustomerId in Better Auth
  • If absent, error 400: "You must have a Stripe account to purchase credits"
• The package must be active and have a stripe_price_id configured

Validations

• ✅ Validation of package_id (valid UUID)
• ✅ URL validation (success_url and cancel_url must be valid URLs)
• ✅ Verification that the package exists and is active
• ✅ Verification that the package has a stripe_price_id
• ✅ Retrieval of stripeCustomerId from Better Auth
• ✅ Creation of Stripe Checkout Session with complete metadata

Stripe Metadata

The Stripe Checkout Session includes the following metadata for webhook processing:

Code
 
{
  "tenant_id": "tenant_123",
  "user_id": "user_456",
  "package_id": "550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000"
}

This metadata allows the webhook to credit the right user in the correct tenant after successful payment.

Error Handling

• 400 Bad Request: Invalid package, invalid URLs, or no Stripe account
• 401 Unauthorized: Invalid or expired JWT token
• 403 Forbidden: User is not an owner
• 404 Not Found: Package not found or inactive
• 500 Internal Server Error: Error creating the Checkout Session

Usage Example

Code
 
curl -X POST https://api.faireplace.com/v1/credits/purchase \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_JWT_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "package_id": "550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000",
    "success_url": "https://app.faireplace.com/credits/success?session_id={CHECKOUT_SESSION_ID}",
    "cancel_url": "https://app.faireplace.com/credits/cancel"
  }'

Response:

Code
 
{
  "checkout_url": "https://checkout.stripe.com/c/pay/cs_test_a1b2c3d4e5f6...",
  "package_id": "550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000",
  "package_name": "Pack Starter",
  "credits_amount": 1000,
  "price_cents": 2990
}

The user must then be redirected to checkout_url to complete payment.
