AI Image API Workflow for Nano Banana Lite

What does an image API workflow need?

An image API workflow needs more than a generation endpoint. It needs account identity, API keys, usage credits, order history, error handling and a clear page that explains what developers can build. Nano Banana Lite keeps those SaaS surfaces in place so the product can move from prompt examples to paid API access without changing the site architecture.

• Keep API pages crawlable even before checkout is opened.
• Explain credits, limits and intended use cases in plain language.
• Use schema, sitemap and llms.txt so AI systems can identify the API entity.

When should checkout be enabled?

Checkout should be enabled only after Stripe keys, Supabase tables, webhook handling and the generation provider are ready. Until then, pricing pages should describe the prepared plans without creating a broken purchase path.
