Dodo Inline Checkout Theming Implementation

Overview

All checkout implementations have been updated to use Dodo Payments' inline checkout with custom theming that matches the app design. The checkout process now displays inline (embedded) rather than in popup windows, providing a more integrated user experience.

Theming Configuration

Color Scheme

The inline checkout uses a carefully crafted theme based on the app's design system:

Light Mode:

• bgPrimary: '#FFFFFF' (white background)
• bgSecondary: '#F8FAFC' (light gray secondary)
• buttonPrimary: '#008060' (app's signature green)
• buttonPrimaryHover: '#004C3F' (darker green on hover)
• inputFocusBorder: '#008060' (green focus border)

Dark Mode:

• Consistent with app's dark theme
• Maintains same green accent color (#008060)
• Adjusted text colors for readability

Other Customizations

• radius: '8px' (matches app button style)
• payButtonText: 'Complete Payment'
• fontSize: '14px'
• fontWeight: '500'
• showTimer: true
• showSecurityBadge: true

Implementation Details

Files Updated

1. select-plan.html - Plan selection checkout
2. settings.html - Subscription management checkout
3. topup.html - Token top-up checkout

Core Changes

Each file now implements:

1. Dodo Payments Script

<script src="https://js.dodopayments.com/v1"></script>

2. Themed Inline Checkout

DodoPayments.Checkout.open({
  checkoutUrl: checkoutUrl,
  elementId: 'checkout-container',
  options: {
    themeConfig: {
      light: { /* ... custom colors ... */ },
      dark: { /* ... custom colors ... */ },
      radius: '8px'
    },
    payButtonText: 'Complete Payment',
    // ... other options
  }
});

3. Modal Container

• Creates overlay: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.7) backdrop
• Centered modal with 500px max-width, 600px height
• Close button with hover effects
• ESC key and click-outside-to-close support

Enhanced User Experience

• No popup blockers: No longer using window.open()
• Integrated design: Checkout matches app colors and typography
• Improved feedback: Loading states, timeout handling, success/error messages
• Better accessibility: Keyboard controls, screen reader friendly

API Integration

The backend remains unchanged:

• /api/subscription/checkout - Create checkout sessions
• /api/subscription/confirm - Confirm payment status
• /api/account/payment-methods/* - Manage payment methods

Browser Support

Dodo inline checkout is supported on all modern browsers and automatically handles browser compatibility issues. The implementation includes fallback handling and error states.
