Currently Stripe Billing only supports Subscriptions with period of up to 2 years.

#

So you would have to implement your own system that issues Invoices every 4 years

#

@small night Yeah but it's not just an invoice problem, it's the payment which is also made depending on the period

#

I would like a single payment every 4 years

#

I already have my own invoicing tool

#

So you have a system that can schedule generating invoices at certain time? And you just need to charge the customer, correct?

#

You can follow this guide to learn how to save a Payment Method with Stripe and charge it at a later time: https://stripe.com/docs/payments/save-and-reuse

#

Alternatively, a way to charge the customer immediately, and also save the Payment Method for future charges: https://stripe.com/docs/payments/save-during-payment

Workflow i would like :
1 - User save or choose this payment method
2 - User select his plan (4 years for exemple)
3 - User paid his plan
4 - Done
5 - 4 years later, user paid automatically for 4 years again

#

The user can cancel the automatic renewal of their subscription whenever they wish

👋 stepping in here

#

So overall as noted the highest interval supported by Subscriptions is 2 years.

#

However, if you do want to automate this you can use a Subscription Schedule and put the Subscription on a trial in the intermediate 2 years.

#

Subscription Schedules can be scheduled up to 10 years

#

See: https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/subscription-schedules for info on how Schedules work

simple lotus However, if you do want to automate this you can use a Subscription Schedule and...

why you talking about "trial" ?

simple lotus Dec 11, 2023, 2:13 PM

#

Because the longest interval is 2 years
