Automating Subscription-Based Content Access Between Laravel and WordPress

Connected subscription payments in Laravel to member accounts and restricted WordPress content.

What this means: A subscription in one system determined access in the other.

Read the full project summary

A dental services client used Laravel for registration and subscription payments, while its paid content lived in WordPress. The two systems were disconnected: paying for a subscription did not automatically give a customer the right WordPress account or content access.

The integration made Laravel the source of truth for identity and subscription status. A custom WordPress plugin received registration and payment events through a REST API, created users and assigned purpose-built Free Subscriber or Paid Subscriber roles. JWT-based single sign-on connected the login experience, with a dedicated synchronization layer handling the differences between WordPress cookies and Laravel tokens.

Customers could register and pay in Laravel, then access the WordPress content their subscription unlocked without a second login or routine manual role assignment. A Laravel reconciliation command provided a recovery path for the occasional provisioning failure, so an unsuccessful sync could be corrected for an individual user.

Peanut Butter Printing: A Custom Design and Group-Ordering Platform

Connected apparel design, minimum order quantities and six campaign-pricing tiers in WooCommerce.

What this means: Customers could customize products and order under the same group-purchasing rules.

Read the full project summary

Peanut Butter Printing needed to connect personalized apparel design with group purchasing. Customers and company branches had to preview their designs, meet production minimums and receive lower prices as purchases accumulated across a campaign.

The WooCommerce build connected InkSoft's embedded Design Studio to ordering and enforced a 20-item minimum. A custom plugin tracked completed purchases across individual and grouped products, applied six configurable pricing tiers and recalculated cart prices as sales reached each threshold. Campaign deadlines, progress displays and remaining-quantity messages explained the purchasing rules before checkout.

Branch-specific checkout fields captured a Cost Center Code and Branch Address, while expired campaigns stopped accepting orders. The resulting workflow brought design, volume pricing and procurement into one purchasing journey. The project archive contains the WordPress commerce layer; InkSoft is externally hosted, and no conversion or revenue figures are claimed.

Membership platforms

Moving a membership library to Next.js

Delivered a Next.js frontend, member migration and Stripe membership and one-time payments.

What this means: Existing members moved into the new frontend and its purchase journeys.

Read the full project summary

A membership content platform needed a new frontend while bringing its existing members into the rebuilt experience. CodingBeings worked on the complete frontend as part of a two-engineer project lasting about five months.

The owner confirms the move from WordPress to a headless Next.js frontend, migration of existing members, and Stripe support for memberships and one-time purchases. The continuing content-backend architecture has not been confirmed.

The owner reports performance scores moving from 54 to 100 on mobile and 67 to 100 on desktop. The measurement tool, test date and original reports are unavailable, so these are owner-reported observations rather than independently verified benchmarks.

Role: Complete frontend development as one of two project engineers.

Luxury Jewelry Network: Real-Time Inventory Across 56 Storefronts

Coordinated SKU reservations and payment outcomes across 56 WooCommerce storefronts.

What this means: The same unique item had a shared reservation and sale state across the network.

Read the full project summary

A luxury-jewelry retailer listed the same one-of-a-kind diamonds and limited-edition pieces across independent WooCommerce storefronts. It needed to prevent two customers buying the same physical item, while keeping each regional store's own cart and checkout experience.

The reservation system used a shared SKU identity and three inventory states: Available, Reserved and Sold. Adding an item to a cart reserved it across the network for five minutes. Stripe and PayPal payment outcomes then either marked the item sold everywhere or released it; cart removal and timer expiry also restored availability. Countdown displays and email alerts made the reservation state visible to customers and operations staff.

The case study reports that this model eliminated the duplicate-sale issue. The network grew to 56 synchronized storefronts as the retailer expanded from the United States into Europe. Each site remained a separate WordPress installation, with reservation and payment events coordinating the shared inventory state.
