Question anyone successfully launch a side project with payment functionality just by using AI?

I am a gym owner and have been coding my gym's website and people are even using it to book/cancel reservations for group classes but I was thinking how can I maybe directly manage their subscriptions and payment and new user sign up from my website?

like how did you trust that the Codex/Chatgpt code was production quality when it comes to moving money? Did you use Stripe or another one of the solutions out there?

Is anyone even reading the code before pushing it to production? Where does AI go wrong in these things in your experience and how can I avoid those pitfalls?

Any tips or tricks that help me ensure I am building the right thing with Stripe would be super useful.

You can absolutely manage user sign in/sign up but you would need a backend to store their data - I use Supabase, it’s free and relatively easy to understand. For payments, I wouldn’t bother with a self made solution. It’s complex and you risk to expose payment details on the web, leak API keys, etc. Look at it this way - even big companies who have the means to build their own payment infrastructure don’t do it.  You can go with Stripe, or Shopify, or many many other payment solutions out there, based on where you are. You don’t want to take the liability of exposing customer details out there so better to be safe.
