JLT-Lane Secure Billing Gateway
Stripe Checkout integration powering subscription billing and consulting payments for the JLT-Lane engineering platform. Built with Next.js API routes, Stripe Billing, and deployed on Vercel serverless infrastructure.
Architecture Overview
Project Summary
This project implements the monetization layer for the JLT-Lane platform using Stripe Checkout. The system enables both one-time consulting payments and recurring subscription plans while maintaining secure key management and environment parity between local development and production.
Checkout sessions are dynamically generated through a Next.js API route which communicates with Stripe’s API using secure server-side credentials. Users are redirected to Stripe’s hosted payment page where payment processing, billing, and subscription management are handled securely.
Key Capabilities
- • Stripe Checkout session creation via API routes
