Alatar - Auto Recharge

[snow light]

Hello! Before I answer your question I want to call out that your use case may be on our restricted businesses list: https://stripe.com/restricted-businesses

Virtual currency that can be monetized, resold, or converted to physical or digital products and services or otherwise exit the virtual world (e.g., Bitcoin); cryptocurrency mining equipment; initial coin offerings; digital wallets, sale of stored value or credits maintained, accepted and issued by anyone other than the seller

To be clear, I am not saying you can't do what you're asking about on Stripe, I'm just giving you a heads up. I recommend you write in to support with details about your business/integration/plans and have them confirm your use case is something we can support (I don't want you to build your integration and then find out after the fact): https://support.stripe.com/contact/email

With that out of the way, you can do this, but you would need to build the auto recharge logic on your end. You can use a Setup Intent or a Payment Intent with setup_future_usage to set up the Customer's Payment Method for future use, then create off-session Payment Intents to charge them automatically later. See here for more details: https://stripe.com/docs/payments/save-and-reuse

Hi @snow light Thank you so much, for both tips.
You are right, if my business is in a "gray" or restricted area, I do want to check with them now instead of getting banned later. So, I avoid even investing time if at the end I'll not be able to use Stripe.

I'll check what you told me. Thanks for leading into a possible solution.
