Payments integration complete
by Ryan GlassToday we took a big step towards launching twitMate. We completed the integration of payments and subscription management.
I've used Stripe Elements on a couple of other projects and although it worked well it took a few weeks to implement. Also, when the SCA regulations curve ball was thrown last year it took another full week of work to update.
So this time I decided to keep things simple and try Stripe Checkout and the Customer Portal. I have to say I am impressed.
Sure, at times I had 10 tabs open over three screens trying to decipher the docs but overall it was a real time saver. In a few evenings of work I completed all aspects of payments:
- create subscriptions
- upgrade/downgrade/cancel subscriptions
- apply discounts
- catch renewals and expired subscriptions with webhooks
I am holding off pushing to live mode until onboarding is completed but it's all there ready to go.
We are getting very close to launch - check out the development roadmap.
