I’ve been building browser extensions for clients for the past few years, and one problem kept repeating: every paid extension needed its own backend, authentication, Stripe integration, webhooks, subscription logic and access checks.

It was a lot of duplicated work for something that was rarely the main feature of the extension.

I originally built a shared system to handle this for my own projects and clients. After working on it publicly and getting feedback from developers here, I’ve now launched it as crxbase.

crxbase lets extension developers create subscription or lifetime plans, use hosted payment pages and check whether a customer has access through a simple API, without building a separate payments backend.

It’s now publicly available here: https://crxbase.com/

how are you currently handling payments in your extensions?

Just got access to Finances feature, wondering if its worth sharing my personal data with gpt. If you already have access, how are you using it?

A while ago I shared i was building crxbase here, a platform that adds subscriptions, payments and user management to extensions without having to build and host a custom backend.

crxbase started as a side project when creating extensions for my freelance clients. For every client project, I had to create a backend and integrate stripe for each project separately but it became a pain to explain and set up various accounts/services for each client every time. So, i ended up creating a single backend i used for all my clients. It made the setup very simple.

The closed beta has officially started and I'm slowly onboarding the 40+ developers that signed up to the waitlist the last time i posted here.

Currently my goal is to gather feedback and improve the platform, but I'm actively inviting new users.

Happy to answer any questions.
