hi there Sabine, thank you so much for this video. You explained everything so clearly. It was easy to set up using your clear instructions. Thank you.
Your video was very informational, however, email an invoice is not complete "auto-pilot" because you have to wait for the client to complete the invoice to receive your payment. Do you have a video for using the "auto charge a payment on file" button along with a reoccurring 6 month auto-charge or auto payment?
Thanks for the feedback. If you have an established/older Stripe account where you can enter their credit card details, you can auto-charge the card on file with their permission, of course. Not sure if that's the case for you... Having said that, there's a new feature Stripe recently released that offers an easier solution and I will make a video about this in a bit. So stay tuned.
You can still use the invoice functionality like shown in the video or directly let them check out via a Stripe payment link / checkout page. It depends on your/the client’s preferences.
at the end of every month is the costumer gonna receive the invoice to pay manually ? cant it be automated ? also is the first option in payment method which is "automatically charge " will be available after first payment from costumer , and what they mean by "file" , and how to add it ?. THANKS.
Good point. If you set it up as a recurring payment, the invoices will be sent out on auto-pilot every month (or whatever cycle you set up), however, as it is invoice-based, the customer would need to pay or type in their details every month to approve the payment. Re. your other question - what kind of files do you want to add?
I own a preschool. The enrollment software I utilize uses stripe to run customer payments. I would like to continue to use the enrollment software to gather student information and the enrollment fee. I could charge the monthly tuition through the enrollment software but then I will be paying additional fees. The initial enrollment fee for the customer will be through the enrollment software and then stripe but once I have their information in stripe can I set up recurring charges for the monthly tuition? If I can collect monthly tuition payments directly through stripe then I can avoid the enrollment software fee. The monthly tuition would be the same for all students.
Makes totally sense that you want to get the data and initial payment via the enrolment software. So here's what I'd do with the ongoing one. Option 1) You could create a recurring payment via Stripe for each family (as explained in the video) for the ongoing monthly fees, but the client would need to make the payment each month whenever they receive the invoice per email. (Note: the invoice/email will be sent out automatically so you don't need to worry.) If the families are easy to deal with and mostly pay on time, it's all straightforward - if not, this could turn into quite a bit of a "manual" follow-up work for you/your team. Option 2) If your pre-school is quite big, I'd consider investing into a shopping cart solution and set up the recurring payments once and they'll be charged on auto-pilot from then on. The shopping cart solution that I'd recommend is available for a one-time fee (approx. $500-700 USD) and you can keep everything you charge for apart from whatever the merchants - e.g. Stripe, Apply Pay, PayPal - deduct from the amount. If you're interested, let me know and I'm happy to send you the link to it. Hope that helps! Let me know if you have any other questions, Emilee.
@@emsteranne17 The shopping cart I use is one fee for lifetime. I'd just make sure that it covers everything you need it to perform. If you go to sabine.media/thrivecart you'll find the shopping cart that I use for my bigger group programs. It's a one-off purchase and super straightforward plus it integrates nicely with Stripe.
Great question, Claude. Click 'Schedule Subscription' (you can see where it's located at the 7:30 mark of the video) and then simply end it after 4 cycles or a specific date. Hope that helps.
Thank you for the video. I really want to know if my clients can choose the subscription with the first purchase. I understand if they are already a customer that I can go in and set up subscription but I don't want to even do that. I want them to sign up first with the subscription. Can this be done? Also without coding.... thanks!
I wonder if there's a way to create a one-payment 3 month subscription. Like, having an option to pay only once to receive the product/service for three months without having to cancel the plan manually.
@@souldrivensolopreneur just one payment for a 3 month subscription. I pay today and I receive the product each month for three months and then it cancels automatically after the third delivery.
@@victoralarcon6351 It depends on how you deliver the monthly goods. From a payment perspective you simple charge once (so not even recurring) and that's it or you set the payment cycle to 3 months and let it end after one cycle (see settings shown in the video around the 7:30-min mark).
Question: after I send an invoice for an initial payment, can I then use their information (credit card number) to set up an automatic payment subscription (not manual)?
@@souldrivensolopreneur sorry for late reply, I have web design clients and I want to send them an initial invoice and then set up a revolving maintenance charge to run their sites which would then automatically charge their cards/accounts.
@@CurtisAST Gotcha. What would work for sure is if you send out the invoice for the initial amount (one-off) and then set up the recurring payments as a second step. However, the client would still need to initiate the payment each month on their end. If you want to charge automatically and have everything in one go, I'd use a shopping cart solution for this. The one that I use (and love) is ThriveCart (sabinebiesenberger.com/thrivecart).
@@souldrivensolopreneur I’m having the same trouble as Curtis as I am dealing with over 40 clients at a time and I need something to charge automatically every month on a date not a invoice my customers and clients don’t keep up with it until the payment is late ..
@@justinmongelli7591 I'd consider investing in a shopping cart solution if I were you to automate this process - managing 40+ clients is a lot. The solution shown in the video is more for small numbers which can be easily managed manually or when you're absolutely on a low budget. If you go to sabine.media/thrivecart you'll find the shopping cart that I use for my bigger group programs. It's a one-off purchase and super straightforward plus it integrates nicely with Stripe.

🤔 QUESTION FOR YOU: How do you plan to use the subscription feature in Stripe? Leave a comment below. I'd love to know.👇
My question is, how do I ask for their credit card information? Is there a way to request their information without having all the details?
@@jaydeclassified Stripe will send out "invoices'" automatically via email. They only need to press the payment button in the email, enter their card details and you'll get paid.
@@souldrivensolopreneur Stripe will also send invoices on subscriptions?
Yes, it will.

Fantastic. Thanks so much for watching and commenting.
First time hearing of stripe. Great information. Thanks for sharing 😊
Glad to hear that you liked it. Give Stripe a try; it's a great merchant account without the fuss of some local providers.
Interesting - unfamiliar topic to me so thanks for the info!!
Glad you found it interesting and learnt something new today. I hope you can apply it in your business someday.

Nice tutorial Thinking to integrate it into my Laravel course and PHP project.
Go for it!
Thanks. Is this video steps applicable to today's Stripe updates?

That’s not what I wanted, does client need to pay manually every time?
Stripe released a new feature providing a payment link. This could be a great solution for you. I'll record a video on this topic shortly.
Thanks for showing us how to do recurring payments on Stripe!
You're most welcome, Carol. Glad you found it helpful. Do you currently use Stripe in your business?
Thank you Sabine for the great tutorial. Do my customers need to create their own Strip account to pay the invoices ?
Good point, Serey. No, they don't. If you set up credit card as their payment method, they'll get the invoice and just enter their details.
Thank you Sabine :)

As a payment link added to my website not when i add manually a client
