## Stripe Client Setup

```typescript
// lib/stripe.ts
import Stripe from "stripe"

export const stripe = new Stripe(process.env.STRIPE_SECRET_KEY!, {
  apiVersion: "2024-04-10",
  typescript: true,
  appInfo: {
    name: "myapp",
    version: "1.0.0",
  },
})

// Price IDs by plan (set in env)
export const PLANS = {
  starter: {
    monthly: process.env.STRIPE_STARTER_MONTHLY_PRICE_ID!,
    yearly: process.env.STRIPE_STARTER_YEARLY_PRICE_ID!,
    features: ["5 projects", "10k events"],
  },
  pro: {
    monthly: process.env.STRIPE_PRO_MONTHLY_PRICE_ID!,
    yearly: process.env.STRIPE_PRO_YEARLY_PRICE_ID!,
    features: ["Unlimited projects", "1M events"],
  },
} as const
```

## Checkout Session (Next.js App Router)

```typescript
// app/api/billing/checkout/route.ts
import { NextResponse } from "next/server"
import { stripe } from "@/lib/stripe"
import { getAuthUser } from "@/lib/auth"
import { db } from "@/lib/db"

export async function POST(req: Request) {
  const user = await getAuthUser()
  if (!user) return NextResponse.json({ error: "Unauthorized" }, { status: 401 })

  const { priceId, interval = "monthly" } = await req.json()

  // Get or create Stripe customer
  let stripeCustomerId = user.stripeCustomerId
  if (!stripeCustomerId) {
    const customer = await stripe.customers.create({
      email: user.email,
      name: "username-undefined"
      metadata: { userId: user.id },
    })
    stripeCustomerId = customer.id
    await db.user.update({ where: { id: user.id }, data: { stripeCustomerId } })
  }
