The Licensing System I Built for TradingView

When I started, every TradingView vendor was either using a manual Google Sheet or a fragile cookie scraper.

Two years and hundreds of paying users later, the system has handled exactly zero downtime incidents.

Architecture: Stripe webhook → queue → access service → TradingView session pool → audit log → user dashboard.

The hardest part wasn’t TradingView — it was Stripe. Refunds, chargebacks, dunning, dispute holds. Each needs different revoke behavior.

If I built it again today, I’d skip Stripe Tax and just outsource that to Paddle. Everything else stays.
