What plan do I need to automate payments?

Hi, I am on the Maker plan and want to create an MVP app where users can subscribe to see certain features, and as such I think I need integrations with Stripe and Zapier. Firstly, is this correct? Secondly, is this possible on the Maker plan, so far I think not?

If you use Zapier/Make, it’s possible, yes. I have a video about this:

I think Bob’s videos are amazing. That said, an alternative approach for handling payments and subscriptions is indeed to use Stripe but to leverage invoices instead.

I prefer this approach to juggling the direct payment methods. You can have Stripe receive an instruction to send an invoice to your user’s email. At the same time you add a row to a tracker table that monitors payment status. On payment, Stripe can send a trigger that allows you to update your tracker table.

The only downside is the customer experience… they have to check their email. But otherwise I like it.

Thank you, the videos are super useful! Really appreciate it!

Another good solution, thanks for flagging!
