Challenges

One of the primary challenges was securely delivering the template to users immediately after they completed a purchase through Lemon Squeezy—without relying on manual processes.

Another challenge was to accommodate both headless CMS (Contentful) and local markdown (MDX), allowing flexibility for different types of users with varying technical preferences.

Solutions

To automate post-purchase access, I set up webhooks with Lemon Squeezy that trigger a GitHub API call, adding buyers as contributors to a private GitHub organization repository. This allowed for secure, instant, and scalable delivery of the codebase.

For flexible content sourcing, I built an abstraction layer that switches between Contentful and MDX using a single environment variable: CONTENT_SOURCE. This makes the template developer-friendly and easy to configure without code changes.
