Stripe Subscription Billing Setup

This package sets up recurring billing on Stripe Billing for a SaaS, membership or service business moving from manual invoices or one-off charges: products and prices in Stripe, Checkout for sign-up, and the webhook handling that keeps access in your app in step with what customers have actually paid.

Billing state comes from Stripe

Your app should never guess whether someone is subscribed. I handle the events that matter, such as checkout.session.completed, invoice.paid, customer.subscription.updated and invoice.payment_failed, and store the resulting status against the customer record. Access is granted or removed from that status. Starter includes test clock runs, which fast-forward time in test mode to check renewals and cancellations before any real customer meets them.

Trials, plan changes and failed cards

• Business adds free trials, coupons, and monthly and yearly prices.
• Upgrades and downgrades prorate, so customers pay only for the difference.
• Failed cards go through Stripe Smart Retries plus reminder emails, and customers update cards or cancel in the Stripe customer portal instead of emailing you.

Larger pricing models on Premium

Premium covers usage-based or per-seat pricing, tax collection with Stripe Tax, an admin view of subscribers and monthly recurring revenue, migration of existing subscribers and a review of the full billing flow before launch. Usage billing needs your app to report usage reliably, which I build into the handler.

Pricing, trial length and tax registrations are your decisions. Stripe charges its own billing and tax fees on top of card fees. If the billing work is part of a bigger product build, the SaaS development service covers the rest of the app.
