Webhook Management

Webhook listeners are located in the app/Listeners/ directory.

Provider Implementations

Stripe & Paddle:
Handled through Laravel's Cashier package.
LemonSqueezy:
Implemented using the LemonSqueezy Laravel package.
NOWPayments:
Managed by SaaShovel's proprietary package (tcja/nowpayments-laravel).

Important: The NOWPayments implementation is proprietary and bound by SaaShovel's license. The source code is available in the vendor directory but is not open source.

Testing Webhooks Locally:

Use Ngrok (free tier with limits)
Or use LocalTunnel (completely free)
These tools create a secure tunnel to your local environment for testing webhooks
Alternatively, for Stripe, you can use the Stripe CLI to forward events to your local server
Stripe also offers a Webhook Tester in their dashboard
Other providers may offer similar webhook testing tools in their dashboards
See the logs from the webhooks in Laravel's log storage at storage/logs/laravel.log

Billing Provider Flexibility

SaaShovel provides flexibility in changing billing providers without service interruption.

Emergency Provider Switch

In case of billing provider issues (e.g., account suspension), you can:

Change BILLING_PROVIDER to an alternative provider.
Transfer existing users to the new provider either by:
- Having users create new accounts.
- Using SQL to update existing user billing providers.
Switch back to the original provider when issues are resolved.

Provider Migration

While the app supports multiple billing providers simultaneously:

Previous subscription data remains intact when switching providers.
New subscriptions will be added to existing records.
The database maintains history from all providers.

Note: While multiple provider support offers flexibility, maintaining subscriptions across different providers may lead to complex database records. Consider consolidating to a single provider (or the hybrid method with NOWPayments) for cleaner data management.

Layouts

The application uses two main layouts located in resources/views/layouts:

Dashboard Layout

app.blade.php - This layout is used when users are logged into their dashboard.

Public Layout

guest.blade.php - This layout is used for:

All visitors
Public pages (even when accessed by logged-in users)
Home page

                                            
                                                <!-- Blog menu code -->
                                                @php $menu = \LaraZeus\Sky\SkyPlugin::get()->getModel('Navigation')::fromHandle('main'); @endphp
                                                @if($menu && $menu->items)
                                                    @foreach($menu->items as $item)
                                                        {!! \App\CustomRenderNavItem::render($item, $menuLinkClass) !!}
                                                    @endforeach
                                                @endif
                                                <!-- /Blog menu code -->

This code automatically displays pages created through the CMS. The default menu handle is "main".

Manual Link Addition

Add links manually below the CMS menu code:

                                            
                                                <!-- Site links -->
                                                <div class="bg-gray-100 p-4 rounded-md font-mono text-sm mt-2">
                                                    <a href="#features" class="class">Features</a>
                                                    <a href="#pricing" class="class">Pricing</a>
                                                </div>
                                                <!-- /Site links -->

Note: When creating menus through the CMS, ensure you use the "main" handle for the menu to display properly, or update the handle in the code if you prefer a different name.

Localization

Browser-Based Localization

Saashovel supports automatic locale detection based on browser settings. Configure this in your .env file:

APP_USE_BROWSER_LOCALE=true # Enable browser-based locale detection
APP_AVAILABLE_LOCALES=en,es,fr,de,it,tr # Define available locales (only works when APP_USE_BROWSER_LOCALE is true)

Tip: Set APP_USE_BROWSER_LOCALE to true to automatically serve content in the user's preferred language.

Page Customization

Creating Pages

Saashovel offers two methods for creating pages:

1. Using the CMS

Create pages through the Filament admin panel's CMS. This method provides a user-friendly interface with a built-in permission system to restrict page access based on subscription tiers.

Tip: The CMS method is recommended for content-focused pages where you need simple subscription-based access control.

Note: The main page template for pages created via CMS can be customized at: resources/views/vendor/zeus/themes/zeus/sky/page.blade.php

2. Using Page Components

Create custom page components using the saashovel:page command for more complex functionality.

php artisan saashovel:page {name}

This command generates:

A Livewire component at app/Livewire/Page/{Name}/{Name}.php
A corresponding Blade view at resources/views/livewire/pages/{name}/{name}.blade.php

# Example usage
php artisan saashovel:page About

Protecting Component-Based Pages

Use the following middleware to restrict access based on subscription tiers:

                                        
                                            // this route will only be accessible to users with a subscription
                                            Route::get('/your-route-name', YourRouteNameComponent::class)
                                            ->middleware(EnsureUserIsSubscribed::class);
                                            // first tier subscribers and above
                                            Route::get('/first-tier-route', FirstTierComponent::class)
                                            ->middleware(EnsureUserIsSubscribedToFirstTier::class);
                                            // second tier subscribers and above
                                            Route::get('/second-tier-route', SecondTierComponent::class)
                                            ->middleware(EnsureUserIsSubscribedToSecondTier::class);
                                            // third tier subscribers only
                                            Route::get('/third-tier-route', ThirdTierComponent::class)
                                            ->middleware(EnsureUserIsSubscribedToThirdTier::class);

Assets Management

Saashovel provides two methods for managing JavaScript assets:

1. Traditional Laravel Assets

For static JavaScript files, use Laravel's standard asset management:

Location: resources/js/
Compile using Vite or your preferred bundler
Import in resources/js/app.js

Best Practice: Use traditional asset management for static JavaScript files that don't require dynamic Blade variables.

2. Dynamic Assets (merged-assets)

For JavaScript that requires Blade variables or dynamic content:

Assets directory: resources/views/livewire/pages/assets/
Main assets files: resources/views/livewire/pages/assets/default-merged-assets.blade.php, resources/views/livewire/pages/assets/merged-assets.blade.php

Important: The default-merged-assets file contains essential code for subscription management. Do not modify it, to add your own assets, do it in the merged-assets file.

Implementation

The merged assets files are included in both app and guest layouts:

                                    
                                        @include('livewire.pages.assets.default-merged-assets')
                                        @include('livewire.pages.assets.merged-assets')

When to Use Each Method

Traditional Assets

Static JavaScript files
Third-party libraries
Utility functions
Component behaviors

merged-assets.blade.php

Scripts requiring Blade variables
Dynamic route generation
Payment provider integration
SPA functionality
Other

Adding Custom Dynamic Assets

To add dynamic assets:

Create your asset file in resources/views/livewire/pages/assets/
Include it in merged-assets.blade.php file:

                                    
                                        
                                        @include('livewire.pages.assets.your-custom-asset')

Best Practice: Always prefer traditional asset management unless you specifically need Blade functionality in your JavaScript code.

Understanding the Home and Landing Pages

The application dynamically displays either the home page or the landing page depending on the user's authentication status:

Logged-in users see: resources/views/livewire/pages/home/home.blade.php
Guests see: resources/views/livewire/pages/landing-page/landing-page.blade.php

Component Logic

Both the home and landing pages share the same component: app/Livewire/Page/Home/Home.php. This component checks the user's authentication status and loads the appropriate view.

Permission System

SaaShovel includes a robust permission system to control access to different features based on user roles and subscription tiers.

Available Permissions

Permission	Access Level
`public`	Anyone can access
`access admin panel`	Administrators only
`access basic features`	Registered users without subscription
`access premium features`	Any subscribed user
`access first tier features`	First tier subscribers and above
`access second tier features`	Second tier subscribers and above
`access third tier features`	Third tier subscribers only

System Roles

Role	Assigned Permissions
`admin`	access admin panel, access basic features, access premium features, access first tier features, access second tier features, access third tier features
`user`	access basic features
`premium-first-tier`	access basic features, access premium features, access first tier features
`premium-second-tier`	access basic features, access premium features, access first tier features, access second tier features
`premium-third-tier`	access basic features, access premium features, access first tier features, access second tier features, access third tier features

Role Assignment: Upon registration, users are automatically assigned the "user" role with basic feature access. When subscribing to a plan, their role is upgraded to the corresponding tier role (first, second, or third tier). Users can only have one role at a time, though each role may grant multiple permissions.

Using Permissions

In Blade Templates

                                            
                                                @can('access second tier features')
                                                    This is restricted to second-tier and above subscribers.
                                                @endcan

                                                @if(auth()->user()->can('access basic features'))
                                                    Only users who are registered but not subscribed will see this.
                                                @endif

In the page editor

In the Back-End

                                                
                                                    if (Auth::user()->can('access second tier features')) {
                                                        'Only users who are subscribed to the second tier or higher will access this.'
                                                    }

Available Middlewares

                                                
                                                    // this route will only be accessible to users with a subscription
                                                    Route::get('/your-route-name', YourRouteNameComponent::class)
                                                    ->middleware(EnsureUserIsSubscribed::class);
                                                    // first tier subscribers and above
                                                    Route::get('/first-tier-route', FirstTierComponent::class)
                                                    ->middleware(EnsureUserIsSubscribedToFirstTier::class);
                                                    // second tier subscribers and above
                                                    Route::get('/second-tier-route', SecondTierComponent::class)
                                                    ->middleware(EnsureUserIsSubscribedToSecondTier::class);
                                                    // third tier subscribers only
                                                    Route::get('/third-tier-route', ThirdTierComponent::class)
                                                    ->middleware(EnsureUserIsSubscribedToThirdTier::class);

Pro Tip: Permissions are automatically managed based on user subscriptions. When a user upgrades or downgrades their subscription, their permissions are updated accordingly.

Security Note: Always combine frontend permission checks with backend middleware to ensure proper security. Frontend checks are for UI purposes only.

                                            // config/themes.php

                                            'custom-theme' => [
                                                'global' => [
                                                    'bgColor' => 'bg-blue-50',
                                                    'textColor' => 'text-blue-900',
                                                    'accentColor' => 'text-blue-600',
                                                    // ... other global settings
                                                ],
                                                'header' => [
                                                    'bgColor' => 'bg-white',
                                                    'menuLinkClass' => 'text-blue-600 hover:text-blue-700',
                                                    // ... component specific settings
                                                ],
                                                // ... other component configurations
                                            ],

Then activate it by setting:

APP_THEME=custom-theme

Pro Tip: All color classes are based on Tailwind CSS. You can use any Tailwind color utility class in your custom theme configuration.

Note: After modifying theme configurations, remember to clear your application cache: php artisan config:clear

Security

Core Security

Essential security configurations in your .env file:

                            
                                APP_ENV=production
                                APP_DEBUG=false
                                SESSION_SECURE_COOKIE=true
                                SESSION_SAME_SITE=lax

CSRF Protection

Laravel and Livewire automatically handle CSRF protection. Every form should include the directive:

XSS Prevention

Blade automatically escapes content. For raw HTML, use with caution:

                            
                                {{ $escapedContent }}

Livewire Security

Protect sensitive properties using:

                            
                                #[Locked]
                                public $sensitiveData;  // Cannot be modified from frontend

                                protected $queryString = ['search' => ['except' => '']]; // URL parameters

                                // Validate component actions
                                public function save()
                                {
                                    $this->validate([
                                        'email' => 'required|email',
                                        'password' => 'required|min:8'
                                    ]);
                                }

Security Best Practices:

Always validate user input using Form Requests
Use prepared statements (Laravel's query builder handles this)
Keep dependencies updated (composer audit)
Set proper file permissions (storage: 775, config: 644)
Use .env for sensitive credentials
Enable HTTP-only cookies
Implement rate limiting on APIs and forms

Authentication

The application uses Laravel Sanctum for API authentication and session-based auth for web routes.

Tip: Use middleware groups to protect routes:


                                    Route::middleware(['auth:sanctum', 'verified'])->group(...)

Payment Webhook Security

The application verifies webhook signatures for all payment providers (Stripe, Paddle, LemonSqueezy, NOWPayments). This ensures that only legitimate requests from the payment providers are processed:

Important:

Keep webhook secrets secure in .env file
Use HTTPS for webhook endpoints
Configure webhook URLs in provider dashboards
Monitor webhook failures

File Upload Security

Secure file upload handling:

                            
                                // Validate file uploads
                                'document' => ['required', 'file', 'mimes:pdf,docx', 'max:10240']

                                // Store in private disk
                                Storage::disk('private')->put($path, $file, 'private')

Note: Regular security updates and audits are crucial. Use: composer audit to check for known vulnerabilities in your dependencies.
