Perfect — your goal is now 100% clear:
You’re saying:
✅ “I want all the features that Laravel + Stripe/Paddle combo gives me (like Spark),
❌ BUT I don’t want to use Stripe/Paddle or rely on their hosted pages or logic,
✅ AND I want to host everything tightly integrated into my Laravel-based system (both web & app).”
✅ Here’s My Final, Professional Recommendation for You
🧠 Build your own Laravel SaaS system with core features and custom payment gateway support (PayPal, PayTM) — hosted fully on your server with tight integration into your platform.
This approach gives you:
✅ Full control
✅ Local/Indian payment gateway support
✅ No dependency on Stripe or Paddle
✅ Better branding
✅ Extendability for web and mobile
✅ Future-proof
🔨 Solution Breakdown
| Part | Solution |
|---|---|
| User Authentication | Use Laravel Breeze or Jetstream (free, simple, secure). |
| Team Management | Use Jetstream’s teams module OR create your own. |
| Subscription Plans & Billing UI | Build custom Blade/Vue/Inertia pages — easy to clone from Spark’s style. |
| Invoices (PDFs) | Use Laravel-Dompdf or Laravel Snappy to generate invoices and show/download. |
| Payment Gateways | Integrate PayPal (for global), PayTM (for India). Use their APIs directly. |
| Subscriptions (Billing Logic) | Build your own subscriptions table and plans table. |
| Webhook Handling | Implement your own webhook listeners for PayPal/PayTM to confirm payment. |
| Admin Dashboard | Use Laravel Nova or build with Laravel UI/Blade/Vue for complete control. |
| SaaS UI Features | Use Laravel Wave or build on Jetstream to speed up development. |
✅ Recommendation: Use Laravel Wave Starter Kit (modified)
| Reason | Why it’s best |
|---|---|
| ✔️ SaaS-ready with user dashboard, teams, plans, subscriptions | You get 70% done already |
| ✔️ No hard Stripe/Paddle integration — billing logic is flexible | You can plug in PayPal/PayTM |
| ✔️ Fully open-source and hosted by YOU | Own and deploy anywhere |
| ✔️ Customizable subscription workflow | Add manual or API-based payment confirmations |
| ✔️ One-time payment (~$99) | Not recurring, no vendor lock |
🚀 Development Roadmap for You
| Step | Task | Tools |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Use Laravel Wave or Laravel Jetstream | Laravel |
| 2 | Define Plan & Subscription Tables | plans, subscriptions, invoices |
| 3 | Design Billing UI | Blade/Vue/Inertia |
| 4 | Integrate PayPal | PayPal REST API SDK |

🧾 Real-World Scenario Example (Your System Flow)

→ Admin Can See Subscriptions and Payments in Backend
→ Everything under YOUR Laravel system, YOUR UI, YOUR server
Code language: JavaScript (javascript)🎯 Final Suggestion
✅ DO NOT use Laravel Spark. It’s great but tightly locked with Stripe & Paddle.
✅ DO NOT use Laravel Cashier. It’s built around Stripe/Paddle logic.
✅ DO use Laravel Wave / Breeze / Jetstream to build the skeleton.
✅ DO build a custom billing layer (plans, invoices, subscriptions, payments).
✅ DO integrate PayPal + PayTM directly via SDK/API.
💡 This gives you the best of both worlds:
- Full SaaS functionality like Spark
- Hosted fully by you
- With Indian-friendly and international payments
