How we made billing backendless
Autumn is an abstraction layer between your database and Stripe that lets you build any pricing plan and control feature entitlement.
Our first solution was to create a "publishable key" which would let developers get payment links and check feature access (eg, does my user have any remaining credits) directly from the frontend, in an unprotected way.
