SaaS Development

Every SaaS product makes an early call about how customer data is separated, usually without noticing. A table of users with a company name column works for the demo. Then a customer asks to invite their team, another wants two workspaces, and a third wants their data deleted completely. Suddenly the shortcut is in every query.

We work out the shape up front: organisations, memberships, roles and how data is scoped to each. It's a few days of thinking that saves months of migrations, and it makes things like per-team permissions and clean data exports straightforward later.

Adding a checkout is easy. Running subscriptions is not. Trials end, cards expire, customers upgrade mid-month, someone wants an invoice with their tax number on it. If the product doesn't know what plan a customer is on and what that plan allows, those cases turn into manual work for you.

So we treat billing as part of the core: plans and limits live in the data model, payment provider webhooks keep subscription state in sync, and failed payments follow a clear path instead of silently locking people out. For customers in India or Nepal we plan local payment methods alongside international cards from the start.

A SaaS product proves itself when someone pays for it. The fastest way there is a narrow first version: sign up, do the one thing that's worth paying for, subscribe. Dashboards, integrations and theme settings can wait until customers ask for them.

We push hard on that scope, sometimes harder than founders expect. It's not about doing less work. It's about finding out sooner which work matters, while there's still budget to act on what you learn.
