Laravel Spark

Starter kit for Laravel applications with built-in recurring billing

Visit Laravel Spark

Laravel Spark is a starter kit for Laravel applications that adds recurring subscription billing. Developers define monthly and yearly subscription plans in a configuration file, while customers use a self-service billing portal to subscribe, change plans, update payment details, and download invoices. Spark installs via Composer and pairs with Laravel starter kits such as Jetstream or Breeze.

The billing portal is isolated from the application's frontend, so teams can use their own stack, including Blade and Bootstrap or Inertia and Vue.js. Spark supports Stripe and Paddle as subscription gateways, with Paddle also enabling PayPal payments and handling VAT for European sellers. Billing options include monthly, yearly, and per-seat pricing, and customers receive downloadable PDF invoices by email. Spark supports the latest release of Laravel.

Spark is aimed at developers building SaaS applications on Laravel. It is licensed per project or for unlimited deployed applications, with each license including one year of updates.
