@lunora/payment is one provider-agnostic API over Stripe, Polar, Autumn, Dodo Payments, and Creem. Webhook
events are verified, normalized, and applied through an explicit
payment/subscription state machine that makes duplicate and out-of-order
deliveries safe by construction, and synced into a durable store that rides the
request's ctx.db. Switching providers is a configuration change: the provider
is a stateless translator; the store owns all state.
Outbound calls carry idempotency keys (no double-charge), and every mutation is authorized per-caller. Each adapter takes the provider's SDK client by injection. The provider SDKs are optional peer dependencies, so you install (and bundle) only the providers you actually use.
pnpm add @lunora/payment stripeConfigure
ctx.payments is wired by codegen onto ActionCtx whenever a lunora/ source
imports @lunora/payment or reads ctx.payments. The adapter, which carries
provider secrets, comes from a config.payment(env) thunk you pass to
createShardDO(). The store is built per request from ctx.db, and the default
authorizer ties referenceId to ctx.auth.userId.
import { createStripeAdapter } from "@lunora/payment/stripe";
import { createShardDO } from "./_generated/shard";
import Stripe from "stripe";
export const ShardDO = createShardDO({
payment: (env) => ({
adapter: createStripeAdapter({
// The adapter types its client as the real `Stripe` instance (an optional peer dependency),
// so it's passed straight through — the fetch HTTP client is required on workerd.
client: new Stripe(env.STRIPE_SECRET_KEY, { httpClient: Stripe.createFetchHttpClient() }),
webhookSecret: env.STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRET,
}),
// Override the default "caller owns the referenceId" rule for org/workspace keys.
// authorize: (referenceId) => referenceId === ctx.auth.orgId,
entitlements: {
plans: {
pro: { features: ["export"], limits: { api_calls: 1000 }, priceIds: ["price_123"] },
},
},
observability: (event) => console.log("[payment]", event.type, event),
}),
});The thunk returns PaymentsFromContextOptions:
| Option | Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|
adapter | PaymentAdapter | Built with createStripeAdapter / createPolarAdapter / createAutumnAdapter / createDodoPaymentsAdapter / createCreemAdapter. Required. |
authorize | AuthorizeReference | (referenceId) => boolean | Promise<boolean>. Defaults to "caller owns reference". |
entitlements | EntitlementsConfig | Plan → features/limits map. Required to use check / listBalances. |
observability | PaymentObserver | Telemetry sink for webhook applies, failed payments, past-due subscriptions. |
Provider adapters
Every adapter takes its client by injection and verifies inbound webhooks. Each lives at its own subpath so importing one never loads another provider's SDK:
import { createAutumnAdapter } from "@lunora/payment/autumn";
import { createCreemAdapter } from "@lunora/payment/creem";
import { createDodoPaymentsAdapter } from "@lunora/payment/dodopayments";
import { createPolarAdapter } from "@lunora/payment/polar";
import { createStripeAdapter } from "@lunora/payment/stripe";
const stripe = createStripeAdapter({ client, webhookSecret, webhookToleranceSeconds: 300 });
const polar = createPolarAdapter({ client, webhookSecret });
const autumn = createAutumnAdapter({ client, webhookSecret });
const dodo = createDodoPaymentsAdapter({ client, webhookSecret });
const creem = createCreemAdapter({ client, webhookSecret });| Option | Stripe | Polar | Autumn | Dodo | Creem | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
client | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | The provider's injected SDK client (e.g. a Stripe instance). |
webhookSecret | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | Signing secret for inbound webhook verification. |
webhookToleranceSeconds | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | Optional clock-skew tolerance (schemes that sign a timestamp). |
Stripe is a PSP (manual authorize/capture available). Polar, Dodo Payments, and
Creem are Merchants-of-Record: merchantOfRecord is true and they own
tax/invoices, so manual capture isn't part of their flow. Stripe webhooks use
Stripe's signature scheme; Polar, Autumn, and Dodo Payments use Standard Webhooks
(webhook-id / webhook-timestamp / webhook-signature); Creem uses a single
creem-signature HMAC-SHA256 header.
Creem
Creem is a Merchant-of-Record for software with an
EU-friendly global footprint. Unlike a raw PSP, it is product-based (real
product ids), so it slots into the priceId interface directly like Polar/Dodo:
hosted checkout sessions, first-class subscriptions (cancel at period end,
pause/resume, plan upgrades), and a genuine hosted billing portal via
customers.generateBillingLinks (portal is true). Refunds are issued from
the Creem dashboard (no SDK endpoint), so refundPayment throws. Webhooks are
verified with the creem-signature HMAC-SHA256 header.
import type { CreemClientLike } from "@lunora/payment/creem";
import { createCreemAdapter } from "@lunora/payment/creem";
import { Creem } from "creem";
const creem = createCreemAdapter({
client: new Creem() as unknown as CreemClientLike,
webhookSecret: env.CREEM_WEBHOOK_SECRET,
});Autumn
Autumn is an entitlement-first billing layer that runs
on your own Stripe account, so it is not a Merchant-of-Record, but, like
Polar, it abstracts the money movement, so manual authorize/capture/refund
throw. It keys a subscription on the (customerId, planId) pair, which the
adapter encodes as the composite id "<customerId>::<planId>".
Autumn owns entitlement truth: balances, credits, limits, and rollovers are
computed on its side from your plan config. The adapter implements the optional
checkEntitlement / getBalances hooks, so the facade delegates check and
listBalances straight to Autumn's live API, and you do not need to configure
entitlements for an Autumn app. Because of that, the authoritative sync path is
live queries + reconcile, not webhook fan-in (the autumn-js SDK models no
outbound webhook stream). Autumn's dashboard can still emit Standard Webhooks
(Svix) events, so parseWebhook is provided as a best-effort convenience;
reconcile remains the reliable path for subscription drift.
Construct the client from autumn-js and inject it (the cast keeps the package
free of a hard autumn-js dependency):
import type { AutumnClientLike } from "@lunora/payment/autumn";
import { createAutumnAdapter } from "@lunora/payment/autumn";
import { Autumn } from "autumn-js";
const autumn = createAutumnAdapter({
client: new Autumn({ secretKey: env.AUTUMN_SECRET_KEY }) as unknown as AutumnClientLike,
webhookSecret: env.AUTUMN_WEBHOOK_SECRET,
});A companion facade, createAutumnFeatures, holds the Autumn-native concepts that
have no cross-provider equivalent: entities (per-seat/per-workspace
sub-customers), referrals, usage-events analytics, the plan catalog,
and a native checkout (prepaid feature quantities, entity scoping, reward
codes, opting out of a plan's trial). It is kept separate so the
provider-agnostic surface stays generic. Share the same injected client between
the two. (Credit systems need no extra method: Autumn models them as features,
so their balances flow through check / listBalances like any other.)
import type { AutumnFeaturesClientLike } from "@lunora/payment/autumn-features";
import { createAutumnFeatures } from "@lunora/payment/autumn-features";
const autumnFeatures = createAutumnFeatures({ client: client as unknown as AutumnFeaturesClientLike });
await autumnFeatures.entities.create(userId, { featureId: "seats", id: "workspace_a", name: "Workspace A" });
const usage = await autumnFeatures.events.aggregate(userId, { featureId: "api_calls", range: "30d" });
const { url } = await autumnFeatures.checkout(userId, { planId: "pro" });Dodo Payments
Dodo Payments is a Merchant-of-Record: like
Polar, it is the legal seller of record and calculates, collects, and remits tax
across 190+ jurisdictions, and owns chargebacks and disputes. So merchantOfRecord
is true and manual authorize/capture throw, but refunds are first-class
(refunds.create). The flow is checkout-session → subscription/payment, synced
from Standard Webhooks (the dodopayments SDK exposes the full, verified event
catalog: payment.*, subscription.*, refund.*, …). It supports usage-based
billing, so reportUsage ingests Dodo usage-events.
Construct the client from dodopayments and inject it (the cast keeps the
package free of a hard dodopayments dependency):
import type { DodoPaymentsClientLike } from "@lunora/payment/dodopayments";
import { createDodoPaymentsAdapter } from "@lunora/payment/dodopayments";
import DodoPayments from "dodopayments";
const dodo = createDodoPaymentsAdapter({
client: new DodoPayments({ bearerToken: env.DODO_PAYMENTS_API_KEY }) as unknown as DodoPaymentsClientLike,
webhookSecret: env.DODO_PAYMENTS_WEBHOOK_KEY,
});The ctx.payments API
Call the facade from an action. Every method authorizes the caller against the
referenceId first.
| Method | Returns | What it does |
|---|---|---|
createCheckout(input) | CheckoutResult | Start a hosted checkout (mode: "payment" | "subscription"); returns a url. |
attach(input) | CheckoutResult | Plan alias of createCheckout with mode defaulting to "subscription". |
createPortalSession(referenceId, returnUrl) | { url } | Open the provider billing portal; customer derived from the store (no IDOR). |
cancelSubscription(subscriptionId, options?) | Subscription | Cancel now or atPeriodEnd; persists the result. |
listSubscriptions(referenceId) | Subscription[] | Synced subscriptions for a reference. |
check(input) | CheckResult | Is a reference allowed something now? Pass featureId or priceId. |
listBalances(referenceId) | FeatureBalance[] | Resolve every configured feature's allowance in one call. |
track(input) | TrackResult | Record metered usage (exactly-once by idempotency key). |
handleWebhook(request) | Response | Verify + normalize + apply a provider webhook. |
import { action, query, v } from "./_generated/server";
export const checkout = action.input({ priceId: v.string() }).action(async ({ ctx, args: { priceId } }): Promise<{ url: string }> => {
const { url } = await ctx.payments.createCheckout({
referenceId: ctx.auth.userId,
priceId,
mode: "subscription",
successUrl: "https://app.test/done",
cancelUrl: "https://app.test/cancel",
});
return { url };
});createCheckout reuses a reference's stored provider customer, minting a new
one only on first checkout, and attaches an outbound idempotency key
automatically (override via input.idempotencyKey).
Entitlements: check and track
Entitlements are derived from already-synced subscription state, which is cheap
and in-Worker and needs no external billing service. A plan is granted when an
active (or trialing) subscription holds one of its priceIds. When several
active plans cap the same limit, the most-generous value wins.
- A product check (
priceId) isallowedwhen the reference holds an active subscription on that price. - A boolean feature check (
featureId, no numeric limit) returnsunlimited: truewhen granted. - A metered feature check (
featureIdwith a planlimit) subtracts usage tracked this period and returns{ allowed, balance, limit, used }.
export const recordApiCall = action.action(async ({ ctx }): Promise<{ recorded: boolean }> => {
// `mode: "add"` (default) increments; `"set"` reconciles the period total.
// Both are a single append — a `"set"` records the absolute target as a marker
// the period fold resets to, so concurrent or replayed `"set"` calls resolve
// last-writer-wins instead of double-applying. Neither mode needs a lock.
const result = await ctx.payments.track({ referenceId: ctx.auth.userId, featureId: "api_calls" });
return { recorded: result.recorded };
});
export const apiCallsRemaining = action.action(async ({ ctx }): Promise<{ allowed: boolean; balance?: number }> => {
const result = await ctx.payments.check({ referenceId: ctx.auth.userId, featureId: "api_calls" });
return { allowed: result.allowed, balance: result.balance };
});track writes a durable, append-only usage ledger (exactly-once by idempotency
key) that check sums over the current billing period. When the provider
advertises usage metering, the event is also forwarded to its metering API. That
forward is best-effort: a reporting failure is observed, never thrown, and the
local ledger check reads is always updated.
Webhooks
Signature verification needs the raw request body, so the webhook endpoint
runs at the Worker edge via httpAction (no ctx.db). It forwards the raw body
and signature into the shard via ctx.runAction, where ctx.payments and its
store exist:
// lunora/http.ts
import { httpAction, httpRouter } from "lunorash/server";
import { processWebhook } from "./billing";
export const app = httpRouter();
app.post(
"/payment/webhook",
httpAction(async (ctx, request) => {
const body = await request.text();
const signature = request.headers.get("stripe-signature") ?? "";
return Response.json(await ctx.runAction(processWebhook, { body, signature }));
}),
);// lunora/billing.ts
import { internalAction, v } from "./_generated/server";
export const processWebhook = internalAction
.input({ body: v.string(), signature: v.string() })
.action(async ({ ctx, args: { body, signature } }): Promise<{ applied: boolean; status: number }> => {
const request = new Request("https://internal/payment/webhook", {
body,
headers: { "stripe-signature": signature },
method: "POST",
});
const response = await ctx.payments.handleWebhook(request);
const result = (await response.json()) as { applied?: boolean };
return { applied: result.applied ?? false, status: response.status };
});handleWebhook verifies the signature, normalizes the event into a
WebhookAction (e.g. subscription.active, payment.captured,
payment.refunded), and applies it through the state machine. Once verified it
always returns 200 so the provider stops retrying; a duplicate or no-op event
is acknowledged, not re-applied. The inbound provider event id keys an
append-only events log for idempotency and audit.
Webhooks are eventually-but-not-guaranteed: an endpoint down past the provider's retry window can drop an event for good. reconcile re-fetches the
provider's current truth for given payment/subscription ids and overwrites the store when it has drifted. Pair it with a @lunora/scheduler job that sweeps
non-terminal rows.
Data it stores
Codegen discovers tables by parsing your lunora/schema.ts AST, so it cannot
resolve a cross-package defineSchema({ ...paymentTables }) spread. Declare the
tables you use inline in your own lunora/schema.ts, mirroring the columns
in @lunora/payment's exported paymentTables (the canonical column reference
the store reads/writes). Declaring them locally also lets you chain .global()
on read-heavy tables (e.g. subscriptions) for cross-region reads from D1.
paymentTables covers: products, prices, customers, subscriptions,
checkouts, paymentSessions, payments, captures, refunds, invoices,
events (the append-only webhook log), and usageEvents (the metered-usage
ledger). Money is stored as (amountMinor: bigint, currency: string) columns;
every row carries a provider discriminator so multiple providers can coexist
during a migration. Captures and refunds are append-only records linked to a
payment, not booleans.
Backfilling money columns written before the storage fix
Rows written between 2026-08-03 and the v.bigint() storage fix stored their
money columns in a form SQL could not read. Such a row reads back correctly
(ctx.db.get returns the right bigint) but is invisible to comparison:
// A settled session whose amountMinor was written in the affected window.
await ctx.db
.query("paymentSessions")
.filter((q) => q.gte("amountMinor", 1000n))
.collect();
// ^ silently omits it. `ORDER BY amountMinor` mis-sorts it, and `sum` counts it as 0.Any write heals the row, so the exposure is the rows nobody writes again, which
for paymentSessions is precisely the settled sessions, the ones most likely
to be queried by amount and least likely to be touched.
A reserved data migration re-projects them, one per affected table. Preview it first:
lunora migrate up __lunora_reproject__paymentSessions --dry-run
lunora migrate up __lunora_reproject__paymentSessions
lunora migrate status __lunora_reproject__paymentSessionsIt runs through the normal writer path, so triggers fire and live subscribers are
notified; it is resumable and safe to interrupt, and rows already in the current
form are skipped rather than rewritten. Repeat for any other shard-local
table of yours declaring a v.bigint() or v.bytes() column; the id is always
__lunora_reproject__<table>.
.global() tables were never affected: their rows live in the D1/Hyperdrive
store, which has always had a per-column codec. Running the migration against one
returns MIGRATION_NOT_FOUND, which is the expected answer, not a problem to
work around.
Confirming it is complete: a second --dry-run reporting 0 rows to change
means nothing is left in the old form. Apps that only ever ran on the fixed
version have nothing to do and the dry run reports 0 on the first try.
Studio
The Studio Payments panel (under Operations) shows synced customers, subscriptions, and webhook events for the app. The panel only appears once codegen detects payments in use.
