An example Expo React Native app demonstrating Stripe payment processing using Supabase Edge Functions for authenticated users.
Expo Stripe Payments with Supabase Functions is an example application that demonstrates how to implement Stripe payment processing in Expo React Native apps using Supabase Edge Functions. It solves the problem of securely handling payment transactions in mobile applications by moving sensitive payment logic to serverless functions rather than client-side code. The project provides a complete reference implementation for authenticated payment flows.
React Native developers building mobile applications with Expo who need to integrate payment processing, particularly those already using Supabase for backend services and authentication.
Developers choose this example because it provides a production-ready pattern for secure payment processing using Supabase's serverless functions, eliminating the need to manage separate payment servers. It demonstrates best practices for keeping payment logic secure while maintaining a smooth developer experience with local development workflows.

Implements payment logic in Supabase Edge Functions, ensuring sensitive data is handled server-side, as emphasized in the serverless-first philosophy to prevent client-side exposure.
Seamlessly works with Supabase Auth to restrict payments to authenticated users, demonstrated by the setup requiring Auth settings adjustment in the SQL schema.
Provides a full local setup using Supabase CLI and Docker, allowing testing without deployment, as detailed in the 'Develop locally' section with step-by-step instructions.
Uses TypeScript for type safety in Edge Functions running on Deno, offering modern development practices and reducing runtime errors.
Requires multiple tools like Docker, Supabase CLI, and environment variable management across files, which can be time-consuming and error-prone for new users.
Focuses only on a basic payment sheet example; advanced Stripe workflows such as refunds, subscriptions, or multi-currency support are not covered, requiring custom extensions.
Heavily tied to Supabase's ecosystem; migrating to another backend would necessitate rewriting both the functions and client integration, increasing switching costs.
