Autumn + Convex

Introduction#

Autumn is your pricing and customer database—an abstraction over Stripe that lets you model any pricing (subscriptions, usage-based, seats, trials, credits) and implement it in your codebase in just three functions: check for access, track for metering, and checkout for purchases.

Setup#

Note: You’ll need Convex v1.25.0+ and autumn-js v0.1.24+.

1) Install the packages#

npm install @useautumn/convex autumn-js 

2) Set the Autumn secret key in your Convex environment#

npx convex env set AUTUMN_SECRET_KEY=am_sk_xxx

3) Add the component to your application#

Add the Autumn Convex component to convex/convex.config.ts:

import { defineApp } from "convex/server";
import autumn from "@useautumn/convex/convex.config";

const app = defineApp();
app.use(autumn);

export default app;

4) Initialize the Autumn client#

In convex/autumn.ts, add the following code:

import { components } from "./_generated/api";
import { Autumn } from "@useautumn/convex";

export const autumn = new Autumn(components.autumn, {
  secretKey: process.env.AUTUMN_SECRET_KEY ?? "",
  identify: async (ctx: any) => {
    const user = await ctx.auth.getUserIdentity();
    if (!user) return null;

    const userId = user.subject.split("|")[0];
    return {
      customerId: userId,
      customerData: {
        name: user.name as string,
        email: user.email as string,
      },
    };
  },
});

export const {
  track,
  cancel,
  query,
  attach,
  check,
  checkout,
  usage,
  setupPayment,
  createCustomer,
  listProducts,
  billingPortal,
  createReferralCode,
  redeemReferralCode,
  createEntity,
  getEntity,
} = autumn.api();

The example above uses Convex auth as an example. Visit this page see code snippets for other providers like Clerk / Better Auth

Note: The identify() function determines which customer is making the request. Customize it for your use case (e.g. use an organization ID as customerId for entity billing). You may need to change user.subject to user.id depending on your auth provider.

5) Set up <AutumnProvider /> on your frontend#

Add AutumnWrapper.tsx to enable hooks and components:

"use client";
import { AutumnProvider } from "autumn-js/react";
import { api } from "../convex/_generated/api";
import { useConvex } from "convex/react";

export function AutumnWrapper({ children }: { children: React.ReactNode }) {
  const convex = useConvex();

  return (
    <AutumnProvider convex={convex} convexApi={(api as any).autumn}>
      {children}
    </AutumnProvider>
  );
}

Note: If you use Autumn only on the backend, you can skip this step.

Using hooks and components on the frontend#

The quickest way to get started is to use our <PricingTable/> component:

<PricingTable/>

import { PricingTable } from "autumn-js/react";

export default function Home() {
  return <PricingTable />;
}

Components are available as shadcn components and are fully customizable: https://docs.useautumn.com/setup/shadcn

useCustomer

We also provide a useCustomer hook which lets you easily access your customer data and interact with the Autumn API directly from your frontend. For example, to upgrade a user:

import { useCustomer, CheckoutDialog } from "autumn-js/react";

export default function Home() {
  const { customer, track, check, checkout } = useCustomer();
  return (
    <button
      onClick={() =>
        checkout({
          productId: "pro",
          dialog: CheckoutDialog,
        })
      }
    >
      Upgrade to Pro
    </button>
  );
}

You can use all useCustomer() and useEntity() features as usual. Learn more about our react hooks here.

Using Autumn on the backend#

You will also need to use Autumn on your backend for actions such as tracking or gating usage of a feature. To do so, you can use our Autumn client:

Check feature access:

import { autumn } from "convex/autumn";

const { data, error } = await autumn.check(ctx, {
  featureId: "messages",
});

if (data.allowed) {
  // Action to perform if user is allowed messages
}

Track feature usage:

import { autumn } from "convex/autumn";

const { data, error } = await autumn.track(ctx, {
  featureId: "messages",
  value: 10,
});

These are the most common functions, but others like checkout and attach are also available. API reference: https://docs.useautumn.com/api-reference/core/checkout
