Sure

You control that completely in your integration though

[wanton moon]

oh i am looking for a no code solution

[formal coral]

Oh that's not possible then

You would need some custom logic here

[wanton moon]

I guess I can make two products

so i have something i am charging $800 for as a one time payment or else its $399/mo over 3 months

is there a way to stop payments after 3 months?

how do i ensure I get the payment?

[formal coral]

What are you currently using

Checkout?

[wanton moon]

payment links

its the no code setup

since i'm just trying to sell something easy on a website

[formal coral]

You can achieve what you want with code

But that's not baked into payment links functionality

[wanton moon]

okay i've made two products, but i want the product to stop charging them 399/mo after 3 months

essentially sell a 3 mo sub

[formal coral]

Yeah you can't do that without code

At minimum you'd need to make an update subscription api call to the sub created from the payment link

[wanton moon]

hmm thats a bit more complicated than i'd like because it's literally just a website

to sell 1 product

[formal coral]

It would be just 1 api call to achieve what you want

But it's just not possible to do without writing that line of code

[wanton moon]

but i would need to write that from the FE right

there's no backend here

[formal coral]

Yeah you'd need a backend

[wanton moon]

yeah i dont have a backend

its literally just html and css

[formal coral]

Yeah then what you want isn't possible with just that

Hi, stepping in. You might want to look at our Payment Links: https://stripe.com/docs/payment-links. You can just share the link on your website.

[wanton moon]

yeah ive been using a payment link for the one time purchase

but not sure how to do it for a sub

[queen stratus]

I just tested this on my end. You can create a Payment Link for Subsciprtion as well, and since you do not want to write any code, you'd use the Dashboard to then cancel the Subscription after three months.

Also, this server is designated for developers who have technical questions regarding a Stripe integration. If you have non technical questions, our support team can help better than I can: https://support.stripe.com/contact.

[wanton moon]

ive been in contact with both of u guys

so i manually cancel the subscription for them right?

what stops them from cancelling it early

and then i won't get the proper amount

its not that i can't write any code, its that with a simple website it doesn't make any sense too

[queen stratus]

I see. Yeah, you'd manually go to your Dashboard and Click on the Subscription > update and you can set a cancel date that is 3 months out.

What do you mean by 'what stops them from cancelling it early'?

Where on your website are yo showing an option to cancel?

[wanton moon]

im not showing an option to cancel

so are you saying then they will not be able to cancel

surely there has to be a way to do it non-manuallly, as it the subscription ends after 3 months of payment

[queen stratus]

There is not with Payment Link and the work around is to use the Dashboard with no-code option.

If you're not showing an option to cancel the subscription, how could they do that?

[wanton moon]

by dashboard you mean manually cancel people's payment

[queen stratus]

That is right, because you only want to charge the customer for 3 months.

When you click on 'cancel' you can choose a future date that you want to cancel on

[wanton moon]

do i start by making a subscription?

https://dashboard.stripe.com/subscriptions?create=subscription

[queen stratus]

1/ You create a Payment Link for Subscriptions: https://stripe.com/docs/payment-links
2/ You go through the flow using our test card, https://stripe.com/docs/testing#cards-responses
3/ You then find that Subscription on your Dashboard and look for the 'Actions' button

[wanton moon]

ive created it, but i dont see the option to stop the sub ?

https://buy.stripe.com/8wMdU828L2C2dUY4gi

[queen stratus]

What tab?

You'd go to your Stripe Dashboard page, https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/dashboard

[wanton moon]

got it i see

so i have to do this in test

add product like this right

[queen stratus]

yeap

[wanton moon]

okay and then how do i cancel the subscription after 3 months

[queen stratus]

Follow these steps please:

1/ You create a Payment Link for Subscriptions: https://stripe.com/docs/payment-links
2/ You go through the flow using our test card, https://stripe.com/docs/testing#cards-responses
3/ You then find that Subscription on your Dashboard and look for the 'Actions' button

[wanton moon]

i find this hard to believe

i have 1000 customers

you are telling me that there is no option on stripe to sell time-gated subscriptions

1. buy a 3mo sub, 2. buy a 1 year subscription etc

theres no way that this is scalable to manually cancel all these people after they have purchased something

[queen stratus]

That is correct not without writing a code.
