Stripe Subscription – Recurring Billing Count

[Robert]

Your documentation for Stripe – recurring payments states:

“In summary, Recurring Billing Count field has no effect on Stripe subscription.”

So, if I have a product that I sell where I offer the customer the ability to pay in full or pay in 3 installments, is there no way to do this with Stripe?

You are right. You can’t set up any installment plan with Stripe. Stripe doesn’t offer it unfortunately. Once a user subscribes for a recurring payment they will continue to be charged until cancelled.

I spoke to Stripe to see if they would consider adding support for payments plans. They stated they support it in the following manner:

============

What you describe is possible in Stripe, but not as an out-of-the-box solution. You’ll need a little bit of programming logic on your end, too.

First, you’ll need to have a webhooks endpoint:

https://stripe.com/docs/webhooks

Next, you’ll want to subscribe the customer to a plan like normal. We’ll notify your site, via the webhooks, of when payments are made on a recurring subscription. Specifically, you’ll want to watch for invoice.payment_succeeded events:

https://stripe.com/docs/api#event_types

Once a specific customer has hit the right number of payments (which you’ll track on your end), you’d then issue a cancel subscription request:

Is this something that can be done with eStore?

What is required is a custom job. If you are interested in exploring this; please complete the custom work order quote request, and somebody will get back to you. Please remember to reference this thread.

@Robert, We made some improvements in our plugin to get the recurring billing count field to work with a stripe subscription.
