Ask HN: How do you deal with recurring payments?
1 comments
Hey there! I work on Stripe subscriptions -- would love to hear what's been difficult for you today. We're actually rolling out a bunch of changes to make upgrade and downgrades easier and the entire experience more simple. Feel free to email me: [email protected]
At SerpApi.com, we are currently using Stripe subscriptions. But I feel it's suboptimal. We have a lot of code duplication to support sync of subs between Stripe and our app, upgrading/downgrading is no easy tasks, and no PayPal support.
Thinking of rolling our own. Just capturing a token from Stripe and PayPal and a cron to charge customers. Wary about loosing auto-update credit cards and anti-churn email feature from Stripe though.
