hi

#

I will tell you, it will be available soon 😉

#

ah wait

neat sphinx
#

Amazing!! Do you have an ETA / Beta programme?

pastel latch
#

but I am afraid it wouldn't work with recurring 😦 Only for one off payment

neat sphinx
#

That sucks

#

I've requested this feature a few times in support chats

#

Do you have a preferred alternative way for implementing custom recurring donations?

#

/ A GitHub repo I could copy

#

By recurring do you meant the "subscription" mode in Checkout?

neat sphinx
#

Yes!

pastel latch
#

I am afraid we won't directly support it. I can tell you how to do it with one-off payment now. I think then you can capture the PaymentMethod user has been used in that Payment, and create a Subscription in your backend supplying that PaymentMethod

#

You create a Price with this custom_unit_amount parameter, then use it to create a Checkout Session

I meant I don't have a specific timeline to share. Maybe Checkout team has it and I will make sure to record your feedback to them

neat sphinx
#

Thank you!

pastel latch
#

For the time being, how about the approach above?

neat sphinx
#

I think a better approach is not using checkout, you can just create a new subscription object if none exists for the specific price the user wants to pay. I'm currently using a third party implementation of this, but I would prefer to have my own if you have a Github repo etc for it

pastel latch
#

My suggestion is basically what you are saying about creating a new Subscription object, but the first Payment you can still use Checkout with custom amount

neat sphinx
#

Yeah but is there a point to using Checkout at all then?

#

Also I don't think the customer portal supports changing to a custom amount recurring payment

#

So you still have to build a custom customer portal to retrieve the info

pastel latch
#

It will let your customer specify custom amount, on a nicely designed Stripe-hosted page so you don't need to build it

#

We have some examples here

neat sphinx
#

Thanks, is that page only for Checkout or also other integrations?

It has 4 examples, compared in README
