My product for Weekend #10 is to build a payment verification tool for my upcoming product release. Since I am planning to release a paid product, I need a system that verifies users are paid customers by their email addresses. Therefore, I'm developing a product that checks whether specific emails are verified with the Stripe API called "Paid Verified".
Here's what I've planned
What I have done so far.
I have created a simple workflow to outline my plan.
I've managed to build a prototype that meets my needs, but it still requires some polishing before I can release it for others. Currently, Paid Verified can verify emails using the specified Stripe payment link. For example, suppose a user has used the defined payment link in their email to make a payment. In that case, I have built an API that verifies this email and confirms that it corresponds to a successful payment with the specified payment link.
Right now, I'm using this tool to verify users of my product when they input their email. This verification occurs in the backend with my Paid Verified service, which returns a valid status. If you have a similar use case, feel free to email me so we can discuss it!
This is my last product weekend of 2024, and I'm proud to have continued building over the weekends for the past 10 months! I look forward to repeating a similar process in 2025.
