Launch Your Startup Fast & Easy With ZapStart
Next.js & Node.js Architecture
Get the best of the both worlds, Next.js for frontend and separated Node.js (Express.js) for backend
The separation of Next.js for frontend and Node.js (Express.js) for backend creates an ideal architecture: Next.js delivers lightning-fast, SEO-optimized user interfaces with superior React rendering capabilities, while a dedicated Express backend provides robust API handling, better scalability for complex business logic, and a specialized middleware ecosystem
Key Benefits:
- Very well-documented codebase with comments and examples
- Server-side rendering for improved SEO and performance
- Have a dedicated backend runtime for complex business logic
- Avoid the overabstraction in Next.js that creates a steeper learning curve with diminishing returns
- Have a specialized middleware ecosystem for robust API handling
- Have a unified JavaScript ecosystem from frontend to backend
Authentication System
Secure JWT-based authentication with Google login (PKCE) integration for your website or your Figma plugins, ready to use out of the box.
Skip weeks of authentication development with pre-built JWT authentication system. User management, session handling, and secure token storage are already implemented and tested.
Social login integration with Google allows your users to sign up and log in with a single click, reducing friction and improving conversion rates.
This includes complex backend setup for Figma plugins authentication out of the box (sandboxed environments like Figma plugins require more complex authentication flow).
Please note that this doesn't come with the Figma plugin code itself, but rather the backend code that will integrate with your Figma plugins, however we provided a guide on the requests that should be sent to the backend from your Figma plugins and guidance on the entire authentication flow.
Key Benefits:
- Social login with Google accounts (PKCE)
- Secure and automatic JWT token refresh mechanism in case of token expiration to maintain user authentication state without need to relogin
- Simple to protect endpoints and routes from unauthenticated users
Payment Processing
Accept one-time and subscription payments from your users with Stripe integration.
Start accepting payments immediately with our Stripe integration. The boilerplate includes everything you need to process payments securely, from frontend components to backend webhook handlers.
Support both one-time purchases and recurring subscriptions with built-in plan management, billing cycles, and payment method updates.
Switching between one-time and subscription payments is as easy as changing a single variable in the configurations.
Key Benefits:
- One-time payment processing
- Subscription management with recurring billing
- Simple to protect endpoints and routes from unauthorised users (e.g. only allow specific plan users (Pro, Enterprise) to access a specific feature)
- Limit payments to authenticated users to prevent stripe disputes
- Webhook integration for payment event handling
- Simple to add new paid plans

US Business Formation (Optional)
Comprehensive guide for non-US residents to establish a US-based single-member LLC with global payment capabilities and U.S. bank account.
The two main reasons why someone would want to form a US-based LLC are: have access to US payment platforms like Stripe and banking systems, and have a Limited liability protection for personal assets.
For international entrepreneurs, ZapStart provides a detailed guide to establishing a US-based single-member LLC from home (my personal experience, not a legal advice, please read terms of services), opening doors to the global market and US Banking and payment systems.
The step-by-step instructions cover almost everything from state selection and registration and company bank account setup to tax considerations while avoiding scams and overpaying for the services you can do yourself..
The main reason I created this guide is to make others save time and money on the process. For more details about the guide, check out the company setup guide.
Please don't expect this guide to cover everything in details or always up to date, but it should give you a good starting point and direction to follow to save time and money.
Key Benefits:
- Learn a little about Company setup stuff for your own benefit and protection
- Create a Limited liability protection for personal assets while lowering your costs
- Get your EIN number while saving money and time on the process
