Hi, I think you'd want to create a weekly Price, https://stripe.com/docs/api/prices/create#create_price-recurring and create a Subscription, https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscriptions/create

Is it possible to have a automatically recurring invoice that isn't a subscription?
mental jasper
No it is not, it would all be manual from your end.
woven hill
Is what you are suggesting above just a weekly sub
mental jasper
Yes, create a weekly Price and create the Subscription to automatically bill on a weekly basis.
woven hill
If I wanted to do it manually would the user have to authorize is each week?
mental jasper
No, you can save the payment details and make it a default payment on the customer, https://stripe.com/docs/api/customers/create#create_customer-invoice_settings-default_payment_method. Then, create the invoice with an automatic charge: https://stripe.com/docs/api/invoices/create#create_invoice-collection_method
woven hill
But I would have to create that automatic invoice each month?
mental jasper
That is correct. I think you should create a Subscription instead here.
woven hill
I agree but I have been tasked with looking into other potential solutions and presenting their pros and cons. So if you can think of any cons to this manual approach that would be helpful
