How to Use Stripe for Recurring Payments & Payment Plans (Tutorial)

I've got another Stripe tutorial coming your way today! Some of you guys have asked me how to set up recurring payments on Stripe as well as how to do payment plans on stripe, if you are for example charging 12 payments of $XXX for a course or coaching program. So Stripe calls this subscriptions - so I will show you how to set up subscriptions on Stripe but have it have an actual end date, rather than recurring forever.

So this tutorial is super to the point! I already talked about how to do this in the original Stripe tutorial but I know that one was a bit longer, so I figured doing one JUST for this purpose may be easier.

So this is how to do it. As a heads up though I personally do not set up my payment plans directly in Stripe. Instead, I integrate Stripe with my checkout software that automates it all for me, as well as integrating other payment gateway merchant options together such as Paypal and Apple Pay.

THANK YOU! This is the most comprehensive video I've searched google and YouTube and I'm so grateful that you broke it down for a newbie like me!

[tessfranklin]

This is the video I've been looking for! Needed to figure out how to set an end date for a subscription. Stripe should pay you - this is much better than the info on their site. Thank you!

[alexhoare]

The goods start at 2:25. Thank you for this :)

[frugaldude]

YES!! really great explanation! Good idea on testing the recurring payments with your own email. Thanks! 🥰

[danbartley]

Is there a way to do this automatically without having to do it for every customer. Seems like a simple ask but I can't find how to do it anywhere.

[frangipani]

Thank you so much for this. One question- if the payment is recurring but the first 3 months compulsory , how do you set that up?

[beatriceyakubu]

This video saved my day. Thanks for sharing, Kamila

[katyewen]

Thank you much for this. Exactly what I've been looking for and going to make life much easier

[jasperzhao]

How can I use Stripe to first charge customer for $1 then after I'm done coaching with them I then charge the rest of e.g. $497 automatically?

[MindandSoil]

Hey!! This video has been SUPER helpful! BUT! I think Stripe changed their UI and the "Schedule Subscription" box isn't showing up for me. Is it still there or does it need to be done differently now? If it does need to be done differently, would love to know how! (from poking around it seems like it needs to be done via Phases?

[davisk]

Thank you so much, you made my headache go away :)

[kidworx]

Loving the video. Came in very handy. Thanks

[CivilianWarrior]

This is really helpful thank you! Been looking into getting this for my channel

[talye]

This was brilliant. Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you

[siralex]

Thank you so much. It gave me exactly what I was looking for

Second question - if i wanted to send them a link to take initial payment to "lock them in" and then start a recurring payment from a few weeks later and have it end on a certain date how would i do that?

[rpaextreme]

So what I'm understanding I need to create 2 products, one for the initial payment and a second product to recover the remaining balance due in payments, is that correct?

What is the name of the first background music from 2:11 min. to 4:10 min. please?:)

[antoniocioffi]

The question is, if I don’t have my costumer’s payment cards, I need to send him an invoice like you did. But once he pays with that invoice. It starts to charge him automatically next months ? Or every month he will receive and invoice ?

[PropertyManagement-hypo]

Hi! Thanks for this. How about when I need to send payments? Thank you!
