hi! I'd probably start with the guides at https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/build-subscriptions and https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/trials

Yes but the problem is the redirecting. If a tenant wants a subscription they are purchasing outside of string. How does their stripe ui/dashboard then know they have started the subscription. It’s for a multitent app just like the one I have posted not a regular subscription app
turbid venture
well the thing there is a distinction between a Customer(someone who pays you) and an Account(a merchant who might install your app)
generally if you're charging someone a subscription fee, that's modelled as you having a Customer cus_xxx and Subscription object sub_xx on your own Stripe merchant account, with you collecting the user's card details in your own UI etc
the fact that Customer might have their own Stripe account is not actually connected and they won't see anything there that says they have a subscription, they're entirely separate

The merchant who installs the app. I want the dashboard to recognise they are on subscription.

yep I understand, but that 's not sort of not really possible or how it's modelled
we don't have monetization like that built into the Apps platform at the moment as far as I know, so instead it would be modelled as a regular subscription on your own account
livid thistle
Because in order for them to access the features on the ui they have to be on subscription
How could I do this or is there code that can help
turbid venture
I don't think there's a great solution here beyond:
- you build a regular Stripe Billing integration for onboarding/charging customers using your own Stripe account
- when someone pays and has an active subscription, you update a database etc
- when someone installs the app, they have to provide an email address in your Dashboard UI extension or you get the email associated with their Stripe account when they connect
- you check in your database if you have an active subscription for that email address, and if so, you enable the other features in your app

basically what you want is built-in monetization for Stripe Apps, which doesn't exist yet but AFAIK is something we're working on
livid thistle
Oh ok, so you cannot really monetise stripe apps currently without doing the above?
How did reetail app do this turn? https://marketplace.stripe.com/apps/reetail

I can't comment on any particular app or give a different answer really
livid thistle
Would pompey know?

Unfortunately I do not know either
livid thistle
Or can merchant downloading app set up a subscription within stripe apps ui? Is this possible
fiery grove
Not as far as I am aware but I will double check
