}Included Features
Production-ready structure
Indie builders launch fast.
Then regret it later.
Shipping on a thin starter feels fine until foundation debt shows up. Auth, billing, security, and structure were never designed for a real product.
Auth that looks done
Sessions, CSRF, and Google or password edge cases break after real users arrive. What worked in a demo becomes support tickets and emergency patches.
Payments bolted on
Redirects, webhooks, duplicate plans, and portal URLs turn into incidents. Stripe is easy to add and hard to get right under load.
APIs without a perimeter
Rate abuse, CSRF holes, and missing validation show up late. Hardening then looks like a rewrite, not a tweak.
Structure that does not scale
Feature folders collapse. Every new product relearns the same mistakes. Foundation debt compounds while you are trying to ship.
Fixing these later always costs more than starting from a foundation.
What ShipSafe Is
(and what it's not)
That is the mess ShipSafe removes. Not another demo stack. A production foundation when a thin starter already burned you once.
What It Is
- Session auth that survives real users, not just a demo login
- Stripe checkout, webhooks, and portal returns pinned server-side
- A 7-layer API perimeter on before you ship
- Domain features folders you can grow without a rewrite
- A foundation for solo makers and small teams shipping a real SaaS
"Ship like a professional, even if you're solo."
What It's Not
- Auth that looks fine until Google, CSRF, or sessions bite
- Payments bolted on with client redirect URLs
- Open APIs with no rate limit, Zod, or CSRF guard
- Folder chaos you relearn on every new product
- Another thin boilerplate you outgrow in a month
No fluff.
No toy projects.

Everything You Need
Auth, payments, perimeter, and structure already decided. Less duct tape. More shipping.
Secure by Design
Seven middleware layers on every request. Rate limits, CSRF, headers, and auth guards before you write a feature.
Stripe-Safe by Default
Checkout, webhooks, and billing portal with server-pinned redirects. No client success URLs. No duplicate-plan footguns left undocumented.
Production Structure
Domain features folders, Zod at the edge, and patterns you reuse across products instead of rewriting the same scaffolding.
AI-Ready Architecture
Optional AI-SaaS toolkit on the same foundation: usage tracking, endpoint limits, and Cursor-friendly structure when you monetize AI.
Batteries Included
Firebase session auth, Stripe, Resend, Zod, DaisyUI templates, and docs. Ship the product and the marketing site from one stack.
Built to Scale
Middleware, audit logging, and fail-closed auth so growth means more users, not a security rewrite.
Defense in Depth
Seven layers
Each one runs in sequence on every request
•Rate limits, CSRF, headers, and auth before your handlers run
•If one check fails, the rest still stand guard
•The perimeter that thin starters bolt on after the first incident
You do not assemble this from blog posts. It ships active on day one so auth, billing, and APIs inherit a real perimeter.

Built-In Protection
✓Session auth and CSRF without a weekend of research
✓Stripe webhooks and redirects pinned the safe way
✓Same stack that powers live apps, not demo tutorials
All traffic is encrypted from the start. Automatic HTTP to HTTPS redirect in production ensures no unencrypted connections. This is the first line of defense, ensuring all communication between clients and your application is secure and cannot be intercepted.
Simple Terms
Like sending mail in a locked box instead of a postcard. Everything is encrypted so even if someone intercepts it, they can't read it.
IP-based rate limiting prevents abuse and protects your API endpoints from being overwhelmed by malicious requests. This layer automatically throttles excessive requests from a single source, preventing DDoS attacks and ensuring fair resource usage across all users.
Simple Terms
Like a bouncer at a club. If someone tries to enter too many times too quickly, they get temporarily blocked. Keeps the bad actors out.
Blocks invalid requests before they reach your route handlers. Validates request structure, prevents malformed payloads, and filters out suspicious patterns. This acts as a gatekeeper, ensuring only properly formatted requests proceed to your application logic.
Simple Terms
Like a security checkpoint. Bad requests get stopped at the door before they can cause any trouble inside your application.
Double-submit cookie pattern prevents cross-site request forgery attacks. Webhooks are excluded from CSRF protection (they use signature verification instead). This ensures that requests originate from your legitimate application, not from malicious third-party sites.
Simple Terms
Like a secret handshake. Only requests from your actual website are accepted. Prevents fake requests from other sites pretending to be you.
Complete HTTP security headers including CSP (Content Security Policy), HSTS (HTTP Strict Transport Security), XSS protection, and more. Hardened defaults for maximum security. These headers instruct browsers on how to handle your application securely.
Simple Terms
Like safety instructions for your browser. Tells it exactly how to protect your users from common web attacks automatically.
Complete event tracking for monitoring and compliance. All security events are logged with timestamps, IP addresses, and request details. This provides visibility into security incidents and helps with forensic analysis when needed.
Simple Terms
Like a security camera system. Records everything that happens so you can see who did what and when. Essential for catching problems early.
Protected routes requiring authentication. Returns 401 Unauthorized for API routes, redirects to login for pages. Guards your application endpoints and ensures only authenticated users can access protected resources.
Simple Terms
Like a VIP section. Only users who have logged in can access protected areas. Everyone else gets redirected to the login page.
DIY Chaos vs ShipSafe
Building from Scratch
- Sessions that fail once OAuth and CSRF hit production
- Checkout redirects and webhooks you distrust after the first charge
- APIs open to abuse until you rebuild the perimeter
- Folders that force a rewrite every time you add a product
Shipping fast is not shipping well
ShipSafe Foundation
- Auth that holds after real sign-ins
- Payments wired once, not bolted on
- A perimeter on before you ship
- Structure you keep across products
Ship like a professional
Secure by default. Fast by design.

Frequently Asked Questions
Objections about auth, Stripe, AI tools, and ownership. Straight answers before you buy.
1/ A production Next.js TypeScript starter: Firebase Auth + Firestore, Stripe Checkout and Billing Portal, Resend email, Zod validation, DaisyUI templates, and a 7-layer security middleware.
2/ Full documentation for install, Firebase, Stripe, security, and deploy. Start at /docs.
3/ You own the code. Pay once, ship unlimited projects under the license.
It is built for that workflow.
You get a complete, opinionated codebase so your AI editor has real context: folder structure, naming, auth, billing, and security patterns already in place. Ask for a feature and it can extend what is already there instead of inventing a random stack.
Cursor prompts and workflow notes ship with the repo (Cursor AI workflow).
No. Templates give you marketing sections. ShipSafe is an architectural system for SaaS: session auth that survives real users, Stripe with pinned redirects and webhooks, email, Zod at the edge, and security middleware on every request.
You also get reusable UI and landing blocks (pricing, FAQ, hero, forms) so you can ship the product and the site without starting from zero.
Those tools are great for a landing page or a quick mock. They do not give you a battle-tested auth, Stripe, webhook, and security foundation you reuse across products.
- ShipSafe is a complete SaaS foundation, not a one-off generated page.
- It gives Cursor (and similar tools) durable context so features stay consistent.
- You reuse the same stack across projects instead of relearning a new output each time.
Most starters bolt security on later. ShipSafe starts with a 7-layer stack: HTTPS, rate limiting, API firewall, CSRF, security headers, audit logging, and auth guards.
Patterns are production-tested in live apps (ThinkMate, ShipStreak, Priora, ActivityProof, and more), not demo-only tutorials. See security docs.
On this page, press S for the live layer list, or scroll to Architecture for the full walkthrough.
Yes, if you are comfortable with React and Next.js. The architecture is yours to change.
Integrations are modular. You can swap email providers, databases, or billing later. The win is starting from hardened defaults (session auth, CSRF, Stripe webhooks, Zod) instead of wiring that from scratch.
Core (€99): the full security-first SaaS boilerplate (auth, Firestore, Stripe, Resend patterns, UI, middleware, Zod, docs).
AI-SaaS Core (€149): everything in Core, plus the AI-SaaS toolkit: OpenAI integration patterns, usage tracking, AI endpoint rate limits, and a ready-to-extend AI app structure.
Details on the pricing page.
Yes. Pay once. Build unlimited projects. No ShipSafe subscription fee.
You still pay your own vendors (Firebase, Stripe fees, Resend, hosting) as usage grows.
Hosting on Vercel has a free tier for many early projects. Firebase and Stripe have free or pay-as-you-go tiers so you can launch lean.
Resend has a free tier for transactional email. Stripe takes standard payment processing fees on sales. Exact costs depend on traffic and volume.
Yes. You get lifetime updates to the repos you purchased: security fixes, stack bumps, and improvements used in real products.
You own your fork. Merge updates when you want. The stack is maintained because it powers products that ship in production.
You get GitHub access to the private repo(s). Clone, install, set env vars (Firebase, Stripe, Resend), run locally, then deploy.
