A tidier admin panel with tabs and safer saves
The admin page was one long scroll. It now has tabs, a Save button on every settings tab, and a warning before changing a paying customer's plan.
Six things to fix before anyone pays
A review of what real customers would hit first: billing gaps, Terms at signup, CSV import and export, price alert emails, and device limits.
A security review before letting anyone in
Before inviting testers, I reviewed the app's security and fixed what turned up, from how pages load images to how sign-in attempts are limited.
Setting up billing with Stripe
Subscriptions now run through Stripe: monthly or yearly plans, checkout on the site, a billing portal for changes, and webhooks that keep plans in sync.

With Postmark, TCG Marquee sends invites, password resets, and welcome emails, and mail sent to the domain lands in an inbox on the admin page.
Accounts, sign-in, and an invite-only beta
TCG Marquee got real accounts, an admin page, and invite-only signups, so beta testers can use the top plan for free while everything gets tested.
