Upgrade to get more.") } // Update context with remaining quota ctx = context.WithValue(ctx, "remaining_quota", remaining) } return next(ctx, req) } } ``` ### Usage in Handlers ```go func (s *Server) MessagesSendDocument(ctx context.Context, req *SendDocumentReq) (*Message, error) { userID := getUserIDFromContext(ctx) fileSize := req.File.Size // Check file size limit tier, _ := s.subManager.CheckUserTier(ctx, userID) limits := s.subManager.getTierLimits(tier) if fileSize > limits["file_size"] { return nil, status.Errorf(codes.FailedPrecondition, "File too large. Max size for your tier: %d MB", limits["file_size"]/(1024*1024)) } // Check and use quota allowed, _, err := s.subManager.CheckQuota(ctx, userID, "files_daily") if err != nil { return nil, err } if !allowed { return nil, status.Errorf(codes.ResourceExhausted, "Daily file upload limit reached. Upgrade for unlimited uploads.") } // Use quota s.subManager.UseQuota(ctx, userID, "files_daily", 1) // Process document... } ``` ## Implementation: Admin Dashboard ### Revenue Analytics ```go // admin/analytics.go type RevenueAnalytics struct { db *sqlx.DB } func (a *RevenueAnalytics) GetRevenueReport(ctx context.Context, start, end time.Time) (*RevenueReport, error) { query := ` SELECT DATE(created_at) as date, SUM(amount) as revenue, COUNT(*) as transactions, tier, payment_method FROM premium_transactions WHERE status = 1 AND created_at BETWEEN ? AND ? GROUP BY DATE(created_at), tier, payment_method ORDER BY date DESC ` var rows []RevenueRow err := a.db.SelectContext(ctx, &rows, query, start, end) if err != nil { return nil, err } return &RevenueReport{ Rows: rows, Total: sumRevenue(rows), StartDate: start, EndDate: end, }, nil } func (a *RevenueAnalytics) GetUserRetention(ctx context.Context) (*RetentionReport, error) { query := ` SELECT tier, COUNT(*) as total_users, SUM(CASE WHEN expires_at > NOW() THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) as active_users, SUM(CASE WHEN auto_renew = 1 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) as auto_renew_users FROM user_subscriptions GROUP BY tier ` var rows []RetentionRow err := a.db.SelectContext(ctx, &rows, query) return &RetentionReport{Rows: rows}, err } ``` ## Client-Side Integration ### Upgrade Prompt UI ```go // Client receives error and shows upgrade dialog func handleSendFileError(err error) { if status.Code(err) == codes.FailedPrecondition { // Show upgrade dialog showUpgradeDialog( title: "File Too Large", message: "Upgrade to Premium to send files up to 2GB", plans: getAvailablePlans() ) } else if status.Code(err) == codes.ResourceExhausted { // Show quota exceeded dialog showUpgradeDialog( title: "Daily Limit Reached", message: "You've reached your daily upload limit. Upgrade for unlimited uploads.", plans: getAvailablePlans() ) } } ``` ## Testing ### Unit Tests ```go func TestSubscriptionManager(t *testing.T) { ctx := context.Background() manager := NewSubscriptionManager(testDB, testRedis) t.Run("CheckUserTier", func(t *testing.T) { // Free user tier, err := manager.CheckUserTier(ctx, 1) assert.NoError(t, err) assert.Equal(t, TierFree, tier) // Premium user tier, err = manager.CheckUserTier(ctx, 2) assert.NoError(t, err) assert.Equal(t, TierPremium, tier) }) t.Run("CheckFeatureAccess", func(t *testing.T) { // Free user can't access premium feature hasAccess, err := manager.CheckFeatureAccess(ctx, 1, "large_files") assert.NoError(t, err) assert.False(t, hasAccess) // Premium user can access hasAccess, err = manager.CheckFeatureAccess(ctx, 2, "large_files") assert.NoError(t, err) assert.True(t, hasAccess) }) t.Run("CheckQuota", func(t *testing.T) { // Free user has limited quota allowed, remaining, err := manager.CheckQuota(ctx, 1, "files_daily") assert.NoError(t, err) assert.True(t, allowed) assert.Equal(t, int64(50), remaining) // Premium user has unlimited allowed, remaining, err = manager.CheckQuota(ctx, 2, "files_daily") assert.NoError(t, err) assert.True(t, allowed) assert.Equal(t, int64(-1), remaining) // Unlimited }) } ``` ## Best Practices 1. **Graceful Degradation**: Free users should still have usable experience 2. **Clear Communication**: Always tell users why a feature is blocked 3. **Easy Upgrade**: One-click upgrade flow 4. **Fair Pricing**: Transparent pricing with clear value proposition 5. **Analytics**: Track conversion rates and user behavior ## References - [Stripe Documentation](https://stripe.com/docs) - [PayPal Developer](https://developer.paypal.com/) - [RevenueCat (mobile subscriptions)](https://www.revenuecat.com/)
