eStore subscription (with Stripe and payment gateway bundle) with startup fee

[mkerikss]

Hello,

I would like to setup subscription products through Stripe that have a startup cost associated with them. For example, a subscription which costs $100 at checkout and $50 monthly after that.

Stripe’s API clearly enables this: https://support.stripe.com/questions/subscription-setup-fees

I had thought that this would be possible in eStore by setting a paid trial period, but apparently that’s not supported by WP eStore: https://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/ecommerce/wp-payment-gateway-bundle-stripe-subscription-setup-2764

Is there any viable workaround for this? If not, could I kindly request that you add this to your backlog? It wouldn’t hurt if you made it a priority

Thanks a lot,

Mikael

We will add an option for the “startup cost” feature of stripe. Should have something ready within a week (hopefully).

Thank you very much, I really appreciate it!

I second this request! This is critical for one of my membership products.

That being said…

I recently installed the plugin (within the last week) and set up a button using the usual trial payment option as I normally would.

When I clicked through and ended up on what would be the payment page it DID seem to be indicating that there was a one-time payment + a different monthly payment.

Does this mean you have added the update already?

Thanks

Can someone provide an update for this feature, please? Has it been added now – or is it still a work-in-progress?

As mentioned, it LOOKED like it was working (ie on checkout page it showed the initial payment + the future monthly payments). But I have not allowed any purchases to go through yet.

Thanks

@bentley74, This feature has not been added to the plugin. How did you configure the subscription section of your product?

[bentley74]

I configured it in the usual way (as I would for a Paypal subscription). The initial payment is $47 – I just added this as the trial amount – and then $4.97/mo. On the Stripe checkout page it seemed to indicate that this is how it would be charged.

Any plans to incorporate BrainTree recurring payments?

I really need to get something aside from Paypal in place.

Also – are you still planning to add something for Stripe (as mentioned above)?

Stripe only offers a free trial option at the moment.

WP Payment Gateway Bundle Stripe Subscription Setup

Since the trial amount field is already in use we can’t really replace it to accept a startup fee. It will also make things complicated when they finally introduce a paid trial option like the other gateways have. So we have decided not to add this feature.

We do have plans to integrate with Braintree recurring payments.
