Billing API

All billing endpoints require session authentication.

Response fields

Field	Type	Description
`plans`	object	Map of available plans with pricing and features
`currentPlan`	string	User’s current plan. One of `solo`, `collective`, `label`, or `network`. Users who subscribed via the Stripe checkout flow have plans like `solo`, `collective`, `label`, or `network`.
`subscriptionStatus`	string	Stripe subscription status (`active`, `inactive`, etc.)
`byokEnabled`	boolean	Whether BYOK mode is active
`usage.dailyUnits`	number	Daily unit allowance for the current plan
`usage.used`	number	Units used today
`usage.remaining`	number	Units remaining today

The currentPlan value is set by the Stripe webhook when a checkout completes. Plans created through the primary checkout flow (/api/stripe/checkout) use solo, collective, label, or network. The billing dashboard displays these with their plan names: solo appears as “Solo”, collective as “Collective”, and label as “Label”.

The billing endpoint internally defines a legacy plan catalog (starter at

19/mo, `pro` at

39/mo, scale at $79/mo) which may appear in responses for users who subscribed before the current plan names were introduced. The primary checkout flow and provisioning endpoints use the current plan names (solo, collective, label, network). If you encounter legacy plan names in billing responses, they map to the current plans as follows: starter → solo, pro → collective, scale → label.

Stripe checkout

GET /api/stripe/checkout

Redirects to a Stripe checkout session for subscribing to a plan. This endpoint uses the solo, collective, label, and network plan names with GBP pricing. All new subscriptions include a 7-day free trial — the first charge occurs after the trial period ends. Admin users (configured via ADMIN_EMAILS) bypass Stripe and are redirected directly to the onboarding page.

The checkout plans (solo, collective, label, network) are the primary subscription path for agent provisioning. All plans start with a 7-day free trial. Admin users (configured via ADMIN_EMAILS) bypass Stripe entirely.

Query parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`plan`	string	Yes	Plan to subscribe to: `solo`, `collective`, `label`, or `network`

Checkout plan pricing

Plan	Price (GBP)
`solo`	£29/mo
`collective`	£69/mo
`label`	£149/mo
`network`	£499/mo

Response

On success, redirects (303) to the Stripe checkout URL. The checkout session includes a 7-day free trial — the user enters payment details but is not charged until the trial ends. After checkout completes, Stripe redirects the user to /checkout/success?session_id={CHECKOUT_SESSION_ID}&plan={plan}. On error, redirects to the pricing page with an error query parameter.

Redirect	Description
Stripe checkout URL	Successful session creation — user completes payment on Stripe
`/checkout/success?session_id=...&plan=...`	Post-payment redirect from Stripe after successful checkout
`/pricing?cancelled=1`	User cancelled the Stripe checkout
`/pricing?error=invalid_plan`	Unrecognized plan name
`/pricing?error=stripe_not_configured`	Stripe secret key not set
`/pricing?error=checkout_failed`	Stripe API error
`/onboard?plan=...&paid=1&admin=1`	Admin bypass (no payment required)

Verify checkout session

GET /api/checkout/verify

Verifies a Stripe checkout session after payment and activates the subscription. Requires session authentication.

Response

{
  "plan": "solo",
  "status": "active",
  "nextBilling": "2026-04-20T00:00:00.000Z",
  "customerId": "cus_abc123"
}

401	Unauthorized
402	Payment not completed
403	Session does not belong to the authenticated user
500	Verification failed
503	Stripe not configured

Expert setup checkout

GET /api/stripe/expert-setup-checkout

`time`	string	Yes	Booking time
`email`	string	Yes	Customer email address

Response

{
  "url": "https://checkout.stripe.com/c/pay/..."

Field	Type	Description
`url`	string	Stripe checkout URL

Code	Description
400	Missing required parameters (`date`, `time`, or `email`)
500	Stripe not configured or checkout session creation failed

Subscription deploy

POST /api/subscriptions/deploy

Records a subscription-to-plan mapping so the next agent deployment uses the correct resource tier. This endpoint is called by the Stripe webhook after a checkout completes.

This is a backend-only endpoint that requires bearer token (API key) authentication.

Request body

Field	Type	Required	Description
`tier`	string	Yes	Plan tier. One of: `solo`, `collective`, `label`, `network`, `underground`, `starter`, `pro`, `scale`, `enterprise`, `white_glove`
`customerId`	string	Conditional	Customer identifier. Either `customerId` or `stripeCustomerId` must be provided.
`stripeCustomerId`	string	Conditional	Stripe customer ID. Either `customerId` or `stripeCustomerId` must be provided.
`subscriptionId`	string	No	Stripe subscription ID

Response

{
  "success": true,
  "customerId": "cus_abc123",
  "subscriptionId": "sub_xyz",
  "tier": "solo",
  "resources": {
    "memory": "2g",
    "cpus": "1"
  }
}

Plan resource allocations

Tier	Memory	CPUs	Notes
`solo`	2 GB	1
`collective`	4 GB	2
`label`	8 GB	4
`network`	16 GB	4
`underground`	2 GB	1	Legacy alias
`starter`	2 GB	1	Legacy alias
`pro`	4 GB	2	Legacy alias
`scale`	8 GB	4	Legacy alias
`enterprise`	16 GB	4	Legacy alias
`white_glove`	32 GB	8	Legacy alias

The Railway provisioning function enforces resource limits for the following plans only: underground, solo, collective, label, network. Legacy aliases (starter, pro, scale, enterprise, white_glove) are not resolved during Railway provisioning and default to solo limits (2 GB / 1 vCPU). The subscription deploy endpoint still accepts all tier values listed above.

Errors

Code	Description
400	`customerId` is required (when neither customer ID field is provided)
400	`tier` is required
400	Invalid tier
401	Unauthorized — missing or invalid bearer token
500	Subscription activation failed
