How do you best realise a Pay-What-you-want subscription model (in Stripe)
I want to use a pay-what-you-want model and am wondering, which is the best way to go about it. I've though about setting up a Stripe per-unit subscription where each unit is 1$ and the user can select how much they would like to pay, which gets translated in units, but it feels like a weird approach.
Do you know of any better ones?

For Gived.Org I use the API to create a new tier for each custom amount (in Billing). The tiers are then re-used when someone else selects the same amount.
Incidentally, if you're interested in not having to worry about implementing this, I'm happy to chat about you using Gived.Org
So you create a new product, for each new amount?
It does have a weird feel. and I agree with hatkyinc, API is the way to go. that's exactly how I'm doing.
Doesn't that API have an amount field?..

Yeah, but that way I would need to create a new charge each time, and can't use Stripe's built-in Billing and Subscription system :/
