We need to implement payment gateway.

Tool calls

I’ve reviewed the codebase - this is a Next.js AI app builder with Liveblocks for real-time collaboration, where users chat with AI to generate apps (similar to V0). Let me ask a few questions to understand what “payment gateway” means in this context.

1 of 5

Next up:

What is the primary purpose of the payment gateway?

What should users be paying for in this application?

Subscription plans (e.g., free tier vs pro tier with more AI generations)

Pay-per-use credits (e.g., each AI generation cost credits)

One-time purchase (e.g., unlock a feature permanently)

Monetizing generated apps (e.g., app creators can change their end-users)

Next

What is the primary purpose of the payment gateway? Subscription plans (e.g., free tier vs. pro tier with more AL generations)

Great choice! A few more targeted questions to nail down the plan before we move forward.

1 of 4

Next up:

What are the subscription tiers and their limits?

How should the free vs. pro tiers be differentiated? What is the key limiting factor?

Number of generations per month (e.g., Free: 10/month, Pro: unlimited)

Number of projects/charts (e.g., Free: 3 projects, Pro: unlimited)

Both generations and projects are limited on free tier

I’ll define the exact limits later - just build the infrastructure

Integration: Clerk ←> Stripe sync via Clerk user metadata (subscription status stored on Clerk user object)

Key Features to Build

Clerk Auth - Sign up/sign in flows integrated into the Next.js app

Stripe Products & Webhooks - Two Stripe products (monthly, annual Pro plan); webhook handler to sync subscription events to Clerk metadata

Generation Gating - Track monthly generation count per user; block at limit 10 and show an upgrade modal

Upgrade Modal - Triggered when a free user hits the limit; links to pricing page or directly to Stripe Checkout sessions

Tool calls

I’ve mapped the current app: today, visiting / immediately redirects to a random chat URL - there’s no landing page, no sign-in, and users are identified only by a rand ID in localstorage.

1 of 3

Next up:

Where does the upgrade modal look like when a user hits the limit?

When a free user sends their 11th message, what should happen?

Block the message from sending, show a modal with pla comparison and a “upgrade to Pro” CTA

Show an inline banner inside the chat (no modal) with an “upgrade” link

Link the message send but show the upgrade prompt in the AI’s response

/ticket-breakdown

Break the tech plan into actionable implementation tickets

Tool calls

Here’s the proposed breakdown - 6 tickets grouped by natural dependency order. The first two are pure foundation (must go first), the middle two are parallel-safe, and the last two are UI-only work that depends on the backend being in place.

MERMAID

Tickets

(6)

Open

T1: Clerk Auth Setup

T2: Stripe Backend - Webhooks, Checkout & Portal

T3: Update Liveblocks Auth to use Clerk identity

Suggested Next Steps

6 tickets are ready. You can proceed to implementation or refine the breakdown first:

/execute

all - implement all 6 tickets in dependency order

/execute

T1 and T3 first - start with the Clerk foundation tickets

/cross-artifact-validation

Validate that all specs and tickets tell one coherent story before implementation

/execute

all - implement all 6 tickets in dependency order

Tool calls

Here’s the execution plan based on the dependency graph from the ticket breakdown:

Batch 1 - Foundation (sequential, T1 first)

T1: Clerk Auth Setup [Todo] - must go first, everything depends on it

Batch 2 - Parallel (both depend on T1)

T2: Stripe Backend - Webhooks, Checkout & Portal [Todo]

T3: Liveblocks Auth - replace stub with clerk identity

Batch 3 - Parallel (both depend on T2)

T4: Generation Gating - GenerationGate + PaywallBanner

T5: Pricing Page [Todo]

T6: Header UI - UsageCounter and UserMenu [Todo]

Starting Batch 1 now - executing T!>

Summary

This Epic introduces a monetisation layer to the Next.js AI App Builder. The app currently allows any visitor to generate apps via AI chat without any limits or identity. We will add **Clerk** for authentication and **Stripe** for subscription billing, gating AI generation behind a freemium model. Free users get 10 AI generations per month; Pro users get unlimited generations on a monthly or annual plan. When a free user hits their limit they are blocked and shown an upgrade prompt. A dedicated `/pricing` page and Stripe's hosted Customer Portal round out the billing experience.

Context & Problem

Who is affected

ll users of the AI App Builder — both new visitors (who currently have no account) and returning users (who have no way to be identified or limited today).

Where in the product

The core AI generation flow (the chat interface in file:app/`[chatId]/_components/chat.tsx`) is the primary touchpoint. There is currently no auth, no user identity, and no concept of usage limits anywhere in the codebase.

The pain / opportunity

- The app has no revenue model. Unlimited free AI generation is unsustainable as usage grows.

- There is no user identity layer, making it impossible to personalise, limit, or charge for usage.

- Without a paywall, there is no incentive for users to upgrade or for the business to invest in scaling the AI backend.

Goals

GOAL

MEASURE

Introduce user identitiy

All AI generations are tied to an authenticated Clerk user

Enforce usage limits

Free users are blocked after 10 generations/month

Enable revenue

Pro subscribers can generate without limits

Frictionless billing management

Users can upgrade, downgrade, and view invoices via Stripe Customer Portal

- Team/organisation plans

- Per-seat billing

- Custom enterprise pricing

- In-app invoice history (delegated to Stripe Customer Portal)

- Changing the AI model or generation quality based on plan

"Traycer delivers a practical solution for Al-driven coding challenges by breaking down high-level intents into manageable tasks and implementing structured guardrails for quality control. Traycer is the difference between just getting something to work and implementing a deployment to work robustly."

ChristophCEO of Athlea

"Traycer has a level of understanding and functionality that enables deeper technical applications, something other tools just don't deliver. As a non-technical founder, I appreciate how Traycer tackles exact issues, from directory management to setting up external services making it a game changer for my startup."

Alan KnudsonFounder of BatteryBuilds

"Traycer's User Interface is top notch. Then the plan generation to let you know what it intends to do, which I can correct before it writes the code. I deployed a search feature with filters in my react app with Traycer without writing a single line of code myself and everything just worked seamlessly in first try."

ChineduFullstack Software Engineer

"I've spent multiple years assessing the latest Generative Al companies and building solutions alongside them. Traycer has been one of the most well received tools by our complex application design teams, and I personally use it religiously"

Jeremy AlstonFounder of Agents-Space.com

"I have been using multiple tools till now. Claude code, Augment code, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, Codex CLI, and a few more other tools! For the complex tasks, Traycer is the best tool currently in the market. The multi agent mode is great at making the plan and understanding the context better. Kudos to you and your team!"

SathwikkunchamSenior Engineer

"I can say with 100 percent certainty that we would not be here right now without Traycer. On go live day we rebuilt our database, webhooks and APIs and switched payment processors entirely. It would have been impossible to get this much code done this fast without it. Traycer Epic Mode is how we did it in just 6 days, work that took us 5 months the first time."

Zachary SuraFounder at IQON

"Traycer has unlocked a new level of productivity for me, the ability to have multiple agents plan and execute tasks asynchronously makes me feel more like an Orchestra Conductor than Engineer - what a time to be alive"
