File Eaters Hosted Payments Desktop App

Hosted Checkout

Payments that feel like FileEaters from first click to unlock.

This hosted surface powers Pro upgrades, Stripe verification, and return-to-app handoff from https://payment.fileeaters.com while staying visually in-step with the FileEaters brand.

  • Secure by default. Electron never sees the Stripe secret or billing signing private key.
  • Verified before unlock. Paid checkout sessions are confirmed first, then transformed into signed app return links.
  • Built for the desktop handoff. The browser surface is optimized to reopen FileEaters cleanly instead of feeling like a dead-end web detour.

Inside This Service

The hosted layer stays small, but it still does the heavy lifting.

These routes power the upgrade journey end to end while keeping the app contract stable and the user flow understandable.

/desktop/checkout

Starts the hosted Stripe Checkout journey for the Electron Get Pro flow.

/desktop/checkout/success

Verifies paid checkout state and prepares the signed Pro return payload for Electron.

/desktop/checkout/cancel

Returns the customer to FileEaters cleanly when checkout is abandoned.

/stripe/webhooks

Receives subscription lifecycle events so the hosted billing surface stays operationally visible.

Service Status

Real-time health through htmx

The badge above is still rendered live from the Go service, so this homepage doubles as a friendly operator checkpoint.

Why This Matters

Upgrade flow trust is a design feature

Users should feel like they stayed inside one product journey, even while Stripe and Electron hand off behind the scenes.
