Challenges Faced
Our platform faced complex challenges around secure media distribution, user access management, and automated payment processing. We leveraged Supabase Storage's robust API and Row Level Security (RLS) policies to implement comprehensive media protection. The system generates time-limited signed URLs, ensuring secure, temporary access to digital content.
To maintain simplicity for buyers while ensuring security, we implemented Supabase Auth's anonymous authentication system. This approach, combined with webhook integration, created a seamless yet secure purchasing experience without requiring traditional user registration.
The payment automation phase required a complete restructuring of our payment infrastructure. By integrating Stripe Connect, we established a sophisticated seller onboarding process that enables automated revenue distribution. When a purchase occurs, the system automatically allocates funds between the seller's connected account and the platform, with daily payouts to external bank accounts. This streamlined solution effectively handles the entire financial workflow while maintaining transparency and security.
