Hi roadrunner

Hi there! Give me one min to catch up

[mint prawn]

no worries

So recurring payments and subscriptions are in essence very similar. The term "subscriptions" is used when referring to modeling recurring payments with different tiers and things like trial periods

[mint prawn]

subscriptions are automatic payments right, so if i set interval monthly, every month user is charged automatically by stripe? is this the same with recurring payments , does stripe automatically charge or would i need to manually charge at each interval ?

[balmy apex]

Yes, you can use subscriptions to capture recurring payments automatically.

I think the confusion here is that you can also use subscriptions to introduce trial periods or other billing logic, in addition to recurring payments
