Establish a foundational payment processing system with basic billing, data storage, and internal project management.
As a legal-practice startup, we need to quickly establish a reliable system for processing payments, managing client billing, and generating financial reports without significant upfront costs. We lack a unified platform to handle these core financial operations and track development progress.
With this stack, the startup can securely process payments, automate basic billing, and store all transactional data in a scalable database. Internal teams can collaborate on financial reporting and track platform development, enabling a lean launch and initial client acquisition.
Handles payment gateway, transaction processing, and basic billing logic for the platform.
Provides a scalable PostgreSQL database and backend services for storing all payment, billing, and reporting data.
Serves as a flexible internal workspace for financial reporting, documentation, and project management.
Manages the codebase for the custom payment platform and any integrations.
Shopify's API can be used to push payment and billing data into Supabase for custom reporting and platform logic. Both have low integration complexity.
Supabase integrates with GitHub for database migrations and CI/CD, streamlining development workflows.
This tier focuses on validating the core payment processing and billing functionality with minimal investment. It leverages free tiers of robust tools to handle transactions, store financial data, and manage internal development tasks, providing essential reporting capabilities.
