Customer Portal

The Customer Portal is a destination where your customers can see their orders and ongoing subscriptions. It’s also where they’re able to get hands on receipts, benefits, and more.

Creating a Customer Portal LinkCopied!

You can programmatically create the Customer Portal link for a given customer ID. Using the Polar API, all you need is to call the customerPortal endpoint. Here’s an example using our TypeScript SDK.

import { Polar } from "@polar-sh/sdk";

const polar = new Polar({
  accessToken: process.env["POLAR_ACCESS_TOKEN"] ?? "",
});

async function run() {
  const result = await polar.customerSessions.create({
    customerId: "<value>",
  });

  redirect(result.customerPortalUrl)
}

run();

Or, if you use NextJS as your framework, we have a handy utility which shortens down your code significantly.

// app/portal/route.ts
import { CustomerPortal } from "@polar-sh/nextjs";

export const GET = CustomerPortal({
  accessToken: process.env.POLAR_ACCESS_TOKEN,
  getCustomerId: async (req) => '<value>'
});
