Hi Stripe - my team is planning on building out a new payment plan functionality for our product. We currently use Stripe Subscriptions (as the original Payment Plans beta came out after we built our first version), but are thinking of migrating to Payment Plans for this second version of the functionality.
One key consideration in our process is the limitation that per the beta documentation (Create Invoice Payment Plans | Stripe Documentation):
Payment plans don’t auto-charge customers with saved payment details. Customers must return to the payment page to make subsequent payments.
You can’t use them withcharge_automatically
invoices.
Is this something that is on roadmap for adding / changing when this comes out of Beta, anything like that? I would like to use the Payment Plans functionality, but having (or being confident in eventually) having this functionality is a key factor!
Cheers all ~
