You better to let Stripe manage the Customer and Subscription for you. Stripe API does have the concept of Customer and Subscription. You can (and should) maintain a Customer database on your side, for your business, but can link to Stripe's Customer Id (cus_xxx in Stripe API)

#

for monthly subscription charges, does Stripe automatically charge customers every month, or do we have to use API to tell Stripe to charge every month?
If you use Stripe API's subscription, we will automatically charge customers on the schedule

Thank you for your quick answer! Every month, apart from fixed monthly subscription fee, there is usage-based charges on top. Now that Stripe does the monthly charge without our intervention, how do we notify Stripe of those usage-based charges, so that Stripe can charge a customer ONE amount, sending him ONE invoice, which contains both the fixed subscription charge and the usage-based charges?

heya Frank, stepping in on behalf of orakaro. You can do that if you create a subscription that has both Prices for the usage-based subscription and fixed subscription
