Build a multi-tenant SaaS dashboard using Next.js App Router, TypeScript, Prisma, Postgres, Stripe and Tailwind CSS. Data model: Organization, Membership (userId, organizationId, role: owner/admin/member), and a UsageEvent table (organizationId, type, createdAt) for analytics. On signup, create an Organization and make the user its owner. Integrate Stripe Checkout with three plans (Starter, Pro, Enterprise) and handle the checkout.session.completed, customer.subscription.updated and customer.subscription.deleted webhooks to keep the Organization's plan and status in sync. Build a /dashboard with stat tiles (total usage this month, active members, current plan) and a usage-over-time chart using Recharts, filterable by date range, with all queries scoped to the current organization. Build a /settings/billing page showing the current plan with an upgrade/downgrade flow via Stripe's customer portal, and a /settings/members page for owners/admins to invite or remove members. Enforce that only owner/admin roles can access billing and member settings. Seed the database with a sample organization and a few weeks of usage events for testing the charts.
SEO considerations
- The dashboard itself is authenticated and should be set to noindex, nofollow entirely
- Keep the public marketing and pricing pages for the SaaS product on separate, fully indexable routes with their own metadata
- Exclude Stripe webhook and internal API routes from the sitemap and disallow them in robots.txt
- If pricing appears on both the public pricing page and the in-app billing page, keep the public one as the canonical, crawlable source
Deployment steps
- Provision a managed Postgres database and run Prisma migrations
- Configure Stripe API keys and the webhook signing secret as environment variables
- Register the production webhook endpoint in the Stripe dashboard and verify signature validation
- Deploy to Vercel or another Node-capable host with support for webhooks and server actions
- Set up billing alerting so failed payments or webhook errors are caught quickly
