DziuraŁódź – pothole damage claim kit for Łódź
A Polish website for drivers who damaged a tyre, rim or suspension in a pothole in Łódź. It shows where to file (ZDiT or GDDKiA), compares claiming from the city's insurer against the driver's own AC policy, checks the 3 photos ZDiT requires, and generates a ready-to-sign A4 PDF: the claim letter, a witness statement and a photo appendix.
Form data and photos stay in the visitor's browser (form in sessionStorage, photos in IndexedDB, auto-deleted after 24 h). The only server code is functions/api/verify.js, which asks Stripe whether a checkout session was paid. The calculators, photo check and claim preview are free; the generated PDF package costs 9,99 zł (BLIK).

functions/api/verify.js | Cloudflare Pages Function: server-side Stripe payment check |

tests/ | verify.test.mjs (payment check, node --test), e2e.test.js (Playwright end-to-end) |
Setup (Cloudflare Pages)
- Cloudflare → Workers & Pages → Create → Pages → Connect to Git → pick this repository.
- Build settings: framework preset None, build command empty, build output directory
public. The functions/ folder is deployed automatically.
- Settings → Variables and Secrets (Production, type Secret):
STRIPE_SECRET_KEY = rk_live_… – a restricted key with only Checkout Sessions: Read. A full sk_… key is refused.PAYMENT_LINK_ID = plink_… (Stripe → Payment Links → the link's details).EXPECTED_AMOUNT = 999 (price in grosze; must match the Stripe price and price in config.js).- Optional:
MAX_AGE_DAYS (default 30). ALLOW_TEST_MODE=true only while testing with Stripe test mode – never in production.
- Stripe → Payment Links → New: one product "Pakiet dokumentów PDF – zgłoszenie szkody", 9,99 PLN, payment methods BLIK only. After payment → Don't show confirmation page → Redirect to
https://DOMAIN/?platnosc=sukces&session_id={CHECKOUT_SESSION_ID}
- Edit
public/assets/config.js: paymentUrl = the https://buy.stripe.com/… link, seller = your name/company, address and e-mail (shown in the Regulamin and Polityka prywatności). Never put any key in config.js – it is public.
- Redeploy, then check
https://DOMAIN/api/verify?ping=1 returns {"ready":true}. If it does not, the site refuses to send buyers to Stripe ("Sprzedaż chwilowo niedostępna – nie pobraliśmy żadnych środków").
How the payment works: the browser creates a random order id, stores it in localStorage and sends it to Stripe as client_reference_id; the form is kept in sessionStorage and photos in IndexedDB so they survive the redirect. After returning, the site calls /api/verify, which checks with Stripe that the session is paid, complete, in PLN, for the expected amount, from this Payment Link, live mode, not older than 30 days, and that its client_reference_id matches. Only then is the PDF generated and downloaded. Editing the URL or localStorage does not unlock anything.
Demo mode (free PDF) runs only on localhost / 127.0.0.1 while paymentUrl is empty.
public/assets/config.js
| Setting | What it does |
|---|
paymentUrl | Stripe Payment Link (BLIK). Empty = sales off (demo mode only on localhost). |
verifyEndpoint | /api/verify – leave as is. |
price | 9.99 – shown on the page; must equal EXPECTED_AMOUNT / 100. |
seller | name, address, email for the Regulamin and Polityka prywatności (required by Polish consumer law). |
adContactEmail, adContactPhone | Contact shown in the partner box for businesses that want to advertise. |
partners | Real, paid local ads only. Empty = neutral "Miejsce dla partnera – kontakt" box. |
Custom domain
Cloudflare Pages → Custom domains. Then replace the old github.io address in public/index.html, public/robots.txt and public/sitemap.xml, and set siteUrl in config.js.
Keep the facts current
The city's insurer data (PZU S.A., policy 1077814389) covers incidents from 2023–2026. When Łódź publishes the insurer for 2027, update PZU in public/assets/app.js and the texts in public/index.html.
For developers
npm install
npm run build # compiles Tailwind CSS to public/assets/styles.css and copies pdfmake to public/vendor/
npm test # payment-check unit tests + end-to-end test in Chromium (needs Playwright and poppler-utils)
