Unverified billing logic
Recurring billing and subscription status handling had not been reviewed for correctness before real transactions.
AI-ASSISTED DEVELOPMENT CASE STUDY
Hardening a Cursor-built subscription product for real billing
A subscription product developed with Cursor requiring reliable authentication, billing, permissions, account management, and production architecture, strengthened before handling real customer subscriptions.
▣ Billing logic verified before real subscriptions begin
♙ Authentication hardened for account security
✦ Permissions structured for reliable access control
Making sure real customer billing behaves exactly as expected
A subscription SaaS product built with Cursor can demonstrate the right plan and billing concept, but real customers paying recurring subscriptions need confidence that billing, authentication, and permissions all behave correctly and securely.
This engagement reviews the AI-generated product's billing logic, hardens authentication and permissions, and prepares the architecture for reliable, secure production use.
