YOUR BUSINESS.
YOUR REVENUE.

This project is structured to be operated by an LLC and to use your own Stripe account. Forming an LLC and connecting a payout bank are real-world registration and verification steps—not actions the public website can complete by itself.

01 — Establish your legal business

  1. Check the availability of the name Anime Commerce Overlord through Tennessee business records and trademark clearance.
  2. Form an LLC if you choose that structure; use the actual registered legal name from the approved documents.
  3. Obtain the EIN where appropriate and meet applicable business, tax, and licensing obligations.
  4. Open an eligible business bank account; keep records separate from personal expenses.

Do not describe the business as “Anime Commerce Overlord LLC” until the LLC actually exists under that name.

02 — Configure your Stripe business account

  1. Create or access a Stripe account under the correct legal business entity.
  2. Provide Stripe the verified legal name, entity type, business address, required tax information, and representative details.
  3. Set your eligible payout bank account within Stripe's secure dashboard, never in this website's files.
  4. Create recurring monthly and annual Stripe Prices matching your subscription tiers: $79/$790, $199/$1,990, $499/$4,990, and $999/$9,990. Enterprise is quoted separately.
  5. Copy the Stripe Price IDs into Cloudflare Secrets, using the names in the included .env.example.
  6. Register a Stripe webhook for https://your-domain/api/stripe-webhook and subscribe to checkout session completion and subscription lifecycle events.

03 — Activate payments only after fulfillment works

  1. Deploy the site to Cloudflare Pages and set PUBLIC_SITE_URL to your real origin.
  2. Create a Cloudflare D1 database, apply database/schema.sql, and bind it to your Pages project as DB.
  3. Install and test merchant account provisioning and subscription-based access control before charging customers.
  4. Test Stripe Checkout in Stripe's sandbox, successful and failed subscription lifecycle events, cancellations, billing errors, and webhook retries.
  5. Only after the actual product works, set FULFILLMENT_READY=true and BILLING_ENABLED=true in Cloudflare's server-side environment.

A webhook record is not an access-control system. Customers must be authenticated and provisioned before you sell the SaaS service.

Important Shopify billing distinction

This is a standalone web-based SaaS sales site with Stripe checkout integration. Shopify public App Store apps generally must use Shopify App Pricing or the Shopify Billing API for app-related charges. If you distribute your product through the Shopify App Store, review those rules and redesign billing accordingly. This website is not an approved or installed Shopify app.
