Start with the fit, not the hype

The Autlantic Billing SDK is for recurring USDC on Base: products, prices, hosted checkout, webhooks, and settlement to your merchant wallet.

If your buyers already hold USDC (or you are building for that audience), you can wire billing into your own product instead of renting a closed membership UI forever.

Below is a concrete map of project types that integrate well, what the SDK gives them, and when another stack is the better call.

SaaS and subscription web apps

Classic paid plans: Free / Pro / Team, monthly or yearly, with an upgrade path inside your product.

Create products and prices in the Billing Portal (Test, then Live)
Call createSubscription with a priceId from your backend
Send the customer to checkoutUrl for hosted USDC checkout
Use webhooks (invoice.paid, subscription.*, payment.*) to unlock features
Keep plan changes and cancels in your app UI; Autlantic handles renewals on Base

Crypto communities and Telegram memberships

Paid groups, signal rooms, and gated Discord or Telegram access are a natural fit. Buyers already think in wallets and stablecoins.

Autlantic storefronts already cover creator-style access for many communities. The Billing SDK is for when you want that same USDC recurring model inside your own bot, landing page, or member portal.

Recurring month or year prices in USDC
Webhook-driven invite / kick flows when payment status changes
Direct settlement to your payout wallet, not platform custody of member revenue

Creator products and paid content

Newsletters, courses, research drops, and premium media work when the audience can pay in USDC.

Use Autlantic Billing when you own the product experience and only need the payment + renewal layer. Keep your CMS, email list, and content site. Autlantic is the billing rail.

B2B tools selling into crypto-native teams

Analytics dashboards, compliance helpers, trading ops tools, and infra products often sell to teams that already settle in stablecoins.

Invoice-style renewals, Test keys for staging demos, and Live keys for production match how those teams already evaluate vendors.

abk_test_ on Base Sepolia for sales demos and QA
abk_live_ on Base mainnet for production
Signed webhooks so your entitlement service stays the source of truth

Marketplaces and platforms that bill on behalf of sellers

If you run a platform where each seller needs their own recurring plans, Autlantic Billing works when each merchant has its own portal org, keys, and payout wallet.

Your platform still owns onboarding UX. Each seller configures catalog and credentials. Your code calls the API with that merchant’s key. Do not treat one shared key as multi-tenant isolation.

API products and metered-adjacent plans

Many API businesses still sell simple seat or tier plans (Starter / Growth / Scale) even when usage is metered inside the product.

Autlantic Billing fits fixed recurring USDC plans well today. Keep usage metering in your own system, then map plan tiers to Autlantic prices. Use invoices and webhooks to gate API keys.

What you need on the engineering side

Integration shape is small on purpose.

Node backend (or any stack talking to the hosted API)
npm: @autlantic/payments-recurring, or raw HTTP with your API key
Env: AUTLANTIC_BILLING_API_KEY, MERCHANT_ID, WEBHOOK_SECRET
A webhook handler that verifies x-autlantic-signature
A place in your UI to send users to hosted checkout

What does not fit (yet)

Be honest about the buyer.

Mass-market apps where most users only have cards and will never use a wallet
Products that need Apple Pay / Google Pay as the primary path
Finance workflows that require card dispute tooling as the core compliance story
One-off fiat checkout with no recurring relationship (use a card processor, or Autlantic’s one-time price only if USDC is the point)
