PROBLEM: Redirect parameters were getting lost during user flows
FIXES APPLIED:
1. Register Page:
- Default redirect: /command/dashboard (was /dashboard)
- Stores redirect in localStorage before email verification
- Preserves redirect when linking to login page
2. Login Page:
- Checks localStorage for stored redirect (from registration)
- Clears stored redirect after successful login
- Uses useState for dynamic redirect handling
3. OAuth Callback:
- Default redirect: /command/dashboard (was /dashboard)
- Backend OAuth endpoints also updated
4. Fixed all /dashboard → /command/dashboard links:
- pricing/page.tsx
- page.tsx (landing page)
- AdminLayout.tsx
- DomainChecker.tsx
- command/dashboard/page.tsx
- Header.tsx (simplified check)
5. Backend OAuth:
- Default redirect_path: /command/dashboard
NEW USER JOURNEY:
Pricing → Register → Email Verify → Login → Pricing → Stripe
↓
Welcome Page
↓
Dashboard
The redirect is preserved throughout:
- Query param ?redirect=/pricing passed through register/login
- Stored in localStorage during email verification gap
- Cleaned up after successful login
STRIPE FLOW CLARIFICATION:
- Stripe does NOT create users
- Users must register FIRST with email/password
- Then they can upgrade via Stripe checkout
- This is by design for security and flexibility
NEW WELCOME PAGE (/command/welcome):
- Celebratory confetti animation on arrival
- Plan-specific welcome message (Trader/Tycoon)
- Features unlocked section with icons
- Next steps with quick links to key features
- Link to documentation and support
UPDATED USER JOURNEY:
1. Pricing Page (/pricing)
↓ Click plan button
2. (If not logged in) → Register → Back to Pricing
↓ Click plan button
3. Stripe Checkout (external)
↓ Payment successful
4. Welcome Page (/command/welcome?plan=trader)
- Shows unlocked features
- Guided next steps
↓ 'Go to Dashboard'
5. Dashboard (/command/dashboard)
CANCEL FLOW:
- Stripe Cancel → /pricing?cancelled=true
- Shows friendly banner: 'No worries! Card not charged.'
- Dismissible with X button
- URL cleaned up automatically
BACKEND UPDATES:
- Default success URL: /command/welcome?plan={plan}
- Default cancel URL: /pricing?cancelled=true
- Portal return URL: /command/settings (not /dashboard)
This creates a complete, professional onboarding experience
that celebrates the upgrade and guides users to get started.
BACKEND CHANGES (tld_prices.py):
- Added get_min_renewal_price() and get_avg_renewal_price() helpers

FRONTEND CHANGES:

- Now uses api.getTldOverview() instead of simulated data

- Same updates - uses real backend data
This ensures TLD Pricing works correctly:
- Public page: Real data + blur for premium columns
- Command Center: Real data with all columns visible
- Admin: TLD Pricing tab with correct stats
SCHEDULER ENHANCEMENT:

multi-registrar pricing (like Compare API does)

- .ai: Overview=$71.63, Compare=$71.63 ✓
