+# User Registration & Subscription Architecture Rearchitecture Proposal
+
+## Executive Summary
+
+This proposal outlines a comprehensive rearchitecture of the user registration, payment processing, and subscription management flow to address the current limitations and implement the requested multi-phase registration process.
+
+## Current Architecture Analysis
+
+### Current Flow Limitations
+
+1. **Monolithic Registration Process**: The current flow combines user creation, payment processing, and subscription creation in a single step
+2. **Tenant-Subscription Coupling**: Subscriptions are created and immediately linked to tenants during registration
+3. **Payment Processing Timing**: Payment is processed before user creation is complete
+4. **Onboarding Complexity**: The onboarding flow assumes immediate tenant creation with subscription
+
+### Key Components Analysis
+
+#### Frontend Components
+- `RegisterForm.tsx`: Multi-step form handling basic info, subscription selection, and payment
+- `PaymentForm.tsx`: Stripe payment processing component
+- `RegisterTenantStep.tsx`: Tenant creation during onboarding
+
+#### Backend Services
+- **Auth Service**: User creation, authentication, and onboarding progress tracking
+- **Tenant Service**: Tenant creation, subscription management, and payment processing
+- **Shared Clients**: Inter-service communication between auth and tenant services
+
+#### Current Data Flow
+
+```mermaid
+graph TD
+    A[Frontend RegisterForm] -->|User Data + Payment| B[Auth Service Register]
+    B -->|Create User| C[User Created]
+    B -->|Call Tenant Service| D[Tenant Service Payment Customer]
+    D -->|Create Payment Customer| E[Payment Customer Created]
+    C -->|Return Tokens| F[User Authenticated]
+    F -->|Onboarding| G[RegisterTenantStep]
+    G -->|Create Tenant + Subscription| H[Tenant Service Create Tenant]
+    H -->|Create Subscription| I[Subscription Created]
+```
+
+## Proposed Architecture
+
+### New Multi-Phase Registration Flow
+
+```mermaid
+graph TD
+    subgraph Frontend
+        A1[Basic Info Form] -->|Email + Password| A2[Subscription Selection]
+        A2 -->|Plan + Billing Cycle| A3[Payment Form]

+        C3 -->|Link Subscription| C4[Link Subscription to Tenant]
+        C4 -->|Complete| C5[Onboarding Complete]
+    end
+```
+
+### Detailed Component Changes
+
+#### 1. Frontend Changes
+
+**RegisterForm.tsx Modifications:**
+- **Phase 1**: Collect only email and password (basic info)
+- **Phase 2**: Plan selection with billing cycle options
+- **Phase 3**: Payment form with address and card details
+- **Payment Processing**: Call new backend endpoint with complete registration data
+
+**New Payment Flow:**
+```typescript
+// Current: handleRegistrationSubmit calls authService.register directly
+// New: handleRegistrationSubmit calls new registration endpoint
+const handleRegistrationSubmit = async (paymentMethodId?: string) => {
+  try {
+    const registrationData = {
+      email: formData.email,
+      password: formData.password,
+      full_name: formData.full_name,
+      subscription_plan: selectedPlan,
+      billing_cycle: billingCycle,
+      payment_method_id: paymentMethodId,
+      coupon_code: isPilot ? couponCode : undefined,
+      // Address and billing info
+      address: billingAddress,
+      postal_code: billingPostalCode,
+      city: billingCity,
+      country: billingCountry
+    };
+
+    // Call new registration endpoint
+    const response = await authService.registerWithSubscription(registrationData);
+    
+    // Handle success and redirect to onboarding
+    onSuccess?.();
+  } catch (err) {
+    // Handle errors
+  }
+};
+```
+
+#### 2. Auth Service Changes
+
+**New Registration Endpoint:**
+```python
+@router.post("/api/v1/auth/register-with-subscription")
+async def register_with_subscription(
+    user_data: UserRegistrationWithSubscription,
+    auth_service: EnhancedAuthService = Depends(get_auth_service)
+):
+    """Register user and create subscription in one call"""
+    
+    # Step 1: Create user
+    user = await auth_service.register_user(user_data)
+    
+    # Step 2: Create payment customer via tenant service
+    payment_result = await auth_service.create_payment_customer_via_tenant_service(
+        user_data, 
+        user_data.payment_method_id
+    )
+    
+    # Step 3: Create subscription via tenant service
+    subscription_result = await auth_service.create_subscription_via_tenant_service(
+        user.id,
+        user_data.subscription_plan,
+        user_data.payment_method_id,
+        user_data.billing_cycle,
+        user_data.coupon_code
+    )
+    
+    # Step 4: Store subscription ID in user's onboarding progress
+    await auth_service.save_subscription_to_onboarding_progress(
+        user.id,
+        subscription_result.subscription_id,
+        user_data
+    )
+    
+    return {
+        **user,
+        subscription_id: subscription_result.subscription_id
+    }
+```
+
+**Enhanced Auth Service Methods:**
+```python

+    
+    async def create_subscription_via_tenant_service(

+## Database Schema Changes
+
+### New Subscription Table Structure
+
+```sql
+-- Add new columns to subscriptions table
+ALTER TABLE subscriptions ADD COLUMN IF NOT EXISTS user_id UUID;
+ALTER TABLE subscriptions ADD COLUMN IF NOT EXISTS is_tenant_linked BOOLEAN DEFAULT FALSE;
+ALTER TABLE subscriptions ADD COLUMN IF NOT EXISTS tenant_linking_status VARCHAR(50);

+    CHECK ((is_tenant_linked = FALSE AND tenant_id IS NULL) OR 
+           (is_tenant_linked = TRUE AND tenant_id IS NOT NULL));
+```
+
+### Onboarding Progress Data Structure

+  "current_step": "user_registered",
+  "steps": [
+    {
+      "step_name": "user_registered",

+      }
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+## Error Handling & Recovery
+
+### Error Scenarios and Recovery Strategies
+
+1. **Payment Processing Failure**
+   - **Scenario**: Payment fails during registration
+   - **Recovery**: Rollback user creation, show error to user, allow retry
+   - **Implementation**: Transaction management in auth service
+
+2. **Subscription Creation Failure**
+   - **Scenario**: Subscription creation fails after user creation
+   - **Recovery**: User created but marked as "registration_incomplete", allow retry in onboarding
+   - **Implementation**: Store registration state, provide recovery endpoint
+
+3. **Tenant Linking Failure**
+   - **Scenario**: Tenant creation succeeds but subscription linking fails
+   - **Recovery**: Tenant created with default trial subscription, manual linking available
+   - **Implementation**: Fallback to current behavior, admin notification
+
+4. **Orphaned Subscriptions**
+   - **Scenario**: User registers but never completes onboarding
+   - **Recovery**: Cleanup task to cancel subscriptions after 30 days
+   - **Implementation**: Background job to monitor pending subscriptions
+
+### Monitoring and Alerts
+
+```python
+# Subscription linking monitoring
+class SubscriptionMonitoringService:
+    
+    async def monitor_pending_subscriptions(self):
+        """Monitor subscriptions pending tenant linking"""
+        
+        pending_subscriptions = await self.subscription_repo.get_pending_tenant_linking()
+        
+        for subscription in pending_subscriptions:
+            created_days_ago = (datetime.now(timezone.utc) - subscription.created_at).days
+            
+            if created_days_ago > 30:
+                # Cancel subscription and notify user
+                await self.cancel_orphaned_subscription(subscription.id)
+                await self.notify_user_about_cancellation(subscription.user_id)
+            elif created_days_ago > 7:
+                # Send reminder to complete onboarding
+                await self.send_onboarding_reminder(subscription.user_id)
+```
+
+## Migration Strategy
+
+### Phase 1: Backend Implementation
+1. **Database Migration**: Add new columns to subscriptions table
+2. **Auth Service Updates**: Implement new registration endpoint
+3. **Tenant Service Updates**: Implement tenant-independent subscription creation
+4. **Shared Clients**: Update inter-service communication
+
+### Phase 2: Frontend Implementation
+1. **Registration Form**: Update to collect billing address
+2. **Payment Flow**: Integrate with new backend endpoints
+3. **Onboarding Flow**: Add subscription linking logic
+
+### Phase 3: Testing and Validation
+1. **Unit Tests**: Verify individual component behavior
+2. **Integration Tests**: Test service-to-service communication
+3. **End-to-End Tests**: Validate complete user journey
+4. **Load Testing**: Ensure performance under load
+
+### Phase 4: Deployment and Rollout
+1. **Feature Flags**: Enable gradual rollout
+2. **A/B Testing**: Compare with existing flow
+3. **Monitoring**: Track key metrics and errors
+4. **Rollback Plan**: Prepare for quick rollback if needed
+
+## Benefits of the New Architecture
+
+### 1. Improved User Experience
+- **Clear Separation of Concerns**: Users understand each step of the process
+- **Progressive Commitment**: Users can complete registration without immediate tenant creation
+- **Flexible Onboarding**: Users can explore the platform before committing to a specific bakery
+
+### 2. Better Error Handling
+- **Isolated Failure Points**: Failures in one step don't cascade to others
+- **Recovery Paths**: Clear recovery mechanisms for each failure scenario
+- **Graceful Degradation**: System remains functional even with partial failures
+
+### 3. Enhanced Business Flexibility
+- **Multi-Tenant Support**: Users can create multiple tenants with the same subscription
+- **Subscription Portability**: Subscriptions can be moved between tenants
+- **Trial Management**: Better control over trial periods and conversions
+
+### 4. Improved Security
+- **Data Isolation**: Sensitive payment data handled separately from user data
+- **Audit Trails**: Clear tracking of subscription lifecycle
+- **Compliance**: Better support for GDPR and payment industry standards
+
+### 5. Scalability
+- **Microservice Alignment**: Better separation between auth and tenant services
+- **Independent Scaling**: Services can be scaled independently
+- **Future Extensibility**: Easier to add new features and integrations

+2. **Onboarding Completion Rate**: Percentage of users completing onboarding
+3. **Error Rates**: Frequency of errors in each step
+4. **Conversion Rates**: Percentage of visitors becoming paying customers
+5. **User Satisfaction**: Feedback and ratings from users
+
+### Monitoring Dashboard
+```
+Registration Funnel:
+- Step 1 (Basic Info): 100%
+- Step 2 (Plan Selection): 85%
+- Step 3 (Payment): 75%
+- Onboarding Completion: 60%
+
+Error Metrics:
+- Registration Errors: < 1%
+- Payment Errors: < 2%
+- Subscription Linking Errors: < 0.5%
+
+Performance Metrics:
+- Registration Time: < 5s
+- Payment Processing Time: < 3s
+- Tenant Creation Time: < 2s
+```
+
+## Conclusion
+
+This rearchitecture proposal addresses the current limitations by implementing a clear separation between user registration, payment processing, and tenant creation. The new multi-phase approach provides better user experience, improved error handling, and enhanced business flexibility while maintaining backward compatibility and providing clear migration paths.
+
+The proposed solution aligns with modern microservice architectures and provides a solid foundation for future growth and feature enhancements.

+**IMPORTANT:** You do NOT need to create a coupon in Stripe Dashboard. The coupon is managed entirely in your application's database.
+
+**How it works with Stripe:**
+- Your application validates the `PILOT2025` coupon code against your database
+- If valid, your backend passes `trial_period_days=90` parameter when creating the Stripe subscription
+- Stripe doesn't know about the "PILOT2025" coupon itself - it only receives the trial duration
+- Example API call to Stripe:
+  ```python
+  stripe.Subscription.create(
+      customer=customer_id,
+      items=[{"price": price_id}],
+      trial_period_days=90,  # <-- This is what Stripe needs

 ### Step 3: Configure Webhooks
 
-1. Navigate to **Developers** → **Webhooks**
+**Important:** For local development, you'll use **Stripe CLI** instead of creating an endpoint in the Stripe Dashboard. The CLI automatically forwards webhook events to your local server.
+
+#### For Local Development (Recommended):
+
+**Use Stripe CLI** - See [Webhook Testing Section](#webhook-testing) below for detailed setup.
+
+Quick start:
+```bash
+# Install Stripe CLI
+brew install stripe/stripe-cli/stripe  # macOS
+
+# Login to Stripe
+stripe login
+
+# Forward webhooks to gateway
+stripe listen --forward-to https://bakery-ia.local/api/v1/stripe
+```
+
+The CLI will provide a webhook signing secret. See the [Webhook Testing](#webhook-testing) section for complete instructions on updating your configuration.
+
+#### For Production or Public Testing:
+
+1. Navigate to **Developers** → **Webhooks** in Stripe Dashboard
 2. Click **+ Add endpoint**
 
-3. **For Local Development:**
-   - Endpoint URL: `https://your-ngrok-url.ngrok.io/webhooks/stripe`

+   - Production: `https://yourdomain.com/api/v1/stripe`

 #### Step 3: Forward Webhooks to Local Server
 
+**For Development with Stripe CLI:**
+
+The Stripe CLI creates a secure tunnel to forward webhook events from Stripe's servers to your local development environment.
+
 ```bash
-stripe listen --forward-to localhost:8000/webhooks/stripe

-**Important:** Copy this webhook signing secret and add it to your backend `.env`:
-```bash
-STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRET=whsec_abc123...
-```
+**Important - Update Your Configuration:**
+
+1. **Copy the webhook signing secret** provided by `stripe listen`
+
+2. **Encode it for Kubernetes:**
+   ```bash
+   echo -n "whsec_abc123..." | base64
+   ```
+
+3. **Update secrets.yaml:**
+   ```bash
+   # Edit infrastructure/kubernetes/base/secrets.yaml
+   # Update the STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRET with the base64 value
+   ```
+
+4. **Apply to your cluster:**
+   ```bash
+   kubectl apply -f infrastructure/kubernetes/base/secrets.yaml
+   kubectl rollout restart deployment/tenant-service -n bakery-ia
+   ```
+
+**Note:** The webhook secret from `stripe listen` is temporary and only works while the CLI is running. Each time you restart `stripe listen`, you'll get a new webhook secret.

Con estos 4 pilares, reducirás waste 30-50%, aumentarás throughput 20-35% (mismo personal/equipos producen más), mejorarás calidad consistente (less variability = happier customers)."
