Hi there 👋 are you referring to our installment capability for Mexico? Or our integrations with other installment-based payment methods?

#

Just your normal vanilla USA installment plan

#

"Bill the customer X times and then stop"

#

So the cancellation date is "baked in" upon first payment.

#

I'm digital nomading in Guatemala but from California. 🙂

#

is that why you mentioned Mexico??

Yeah, i didn't think you guys had this either but I'm doing R&D and saw...

like, you can make a subscription schedule which bills some amount per month, then cancels after some number of months

#

I can't find it but I saw a YouTube video where someone sent out an invoice for an installment plan and there was a Stripe UI that asked "Start" and "End" and she chose "End after...." and you could choose a (A) date or (number of times)

#

yes right an "INSTALLMENT PLAN"

#

so i am totally confsued here

#

starting over

#

(A) Does Stripe have an installment plan feature in the United States?

#

capital-I Installments are a special thing with network support in mexico - iirc, the customer's bank floats you the money, so you're paid upfront, and the customer pays back their bank over some period negotiated between them and their bank

hardy lake
#

No

fleet ivy
#

you can build something similar on top of subscription schedules

#

What normal humans and PayPal for like 20 years refers to as an installment plan

#

We did! Like5 years ago!!!!!!!

#

But my question is does STRIPE have this feature??? I thought no but then just saw a video this morning where someone set it up so i am royally confused.

#

And now i'm on discord getting even more confused by the strange responses

#

right but going back to my original question

#

Can Sarah the non-technical life coach add a payment link or does it need to be coded by her dev?

fleet ivy
#

no; it's only supported by subscription schedules

hardy lake
#

Great! That is good for us. Not sure how i watched a video where someone did it in the dashboard though?????

fleet ivy
#

iirc, payment links currently support subscriptions, but not subscription schedules

hardy lake
#

OK that's fine. That's why our app exists.

#

Just trying to determine if that feature we have had now for 5 years is still of value as a point of differentiation

fleet ivy
#

probably the thing you saw is somebody starting a subscription schedule from the dashboard

#

which you can do, if you've already collected the customer's card info, etc
