![]() This series won’t go into more advanced details like metered/usage-based or tiered subscriptions, but you’ll walk away with the basic building blocks and an understanding that you can build on. I’ll stick to my favorite approach when using Rails, the middle ground where we’ll write just enough code to get a customized experience while still harnessing all the power of Checkout and the customer portal. There are several ways to mix and match Stripe APIs and tools to set up recurring payments, some with little to no code, others with very customized flows. We’ll cover things like starting subscriptions, customer onboarding, collecting payment, managing the the customer lifecycle and offering ways to cancel and move between plan levels. In this series, you’ll learn the fundamentals for setting up an integration to accept recurring payments. And same thing, Stripe manage payment infos and so on, so that I don’t have to manage and keep financial / critical data in my DB.Stripe Billing is the fastest way for your business to bill customers with subscriptions and accept recurring payments. For subscriptions and billing, you provide 2 buttons with easy workflows, one for subscriptions (one button for each of your plans), and one button to redirect the customer to the Stripe billing portal. In your app, the important part of the Stripe webhooks implementation, to track all important events you need. ![]() You can count on Stripe to do the job, instead of trying to implement the logic by yourself in your app. Using the Stripe billing portal make the subscriptions and billing things very easy to manage. If the customer doesn’t subscribe, a Workflow clean in the DB the “trial” fields for this customer at the end of the trial period, and the user has then no more access to the paid services. If the customer subscribe during the trial period, I clean the “trial” field in my DB and the subscription, subscription updates billing cycle are then managed by Stripe (+webhooks to keep my app notified). For each plan, you can define a trial period after which the subscriber pay if he didn’t canceled.īut now, I’m managing the trial period in the Bubble app : I let the new subscriber access the app services for 1 month (I set a field in the User datatype for the trial period and end of trial period). In the first version of my app, I manage the trial period in the Stripe dashboard. How do you handle free trials if you do them? Is that something that can be done through Stripe or on Bubble?.When the subscriber cancel, I receive a first webhook event, and at the end of the billing cycle I receive another webhook event (and in my bubble app, I remove this subscriber of the active subscribers). I’ve chosen the second option, so I don’t manage refund for the unsubscribed period of the billing cycle. When subscribers cancel they plan, you have 2 options : unsubscribe the subscriber asap and refund (it’s automatic if I’m correct), or unsubscribe the subscribe (ie stop the subscribed service) at the end of the billing cycle. How do you handle those people who cancel their plan?.In case of payment card expiration, the subscriber will be notified by Stripe, so that he can update his payment info. So you can either manage the problem within your app, or from the Stripe dashboard. Stripe webhooks will send you all this information, also available in the Stripe dashboard. You can also shutdown the subscription as soon as a payment fails, if I’m correct. ![]() In case of payment failure, you define the number of retries, than the moment when the subscription will be definitively aborted/canceled. Using Stripe billing portal, you define in the Stripe dashboard the rules that will apply.
