Each field is explained below:

  • Name: Enter the title of the subscription — Example: $40 per Month Plan
  • Plan ID (Optional): Enter a custom ID for the plan in Stripe — spaces are NOT allowed. We recommend leaving this one blank so the Plan ID can be auto-generated.
  • Amount: Choose the currency and how much to charge at each billing cycle.
  • Interval: Set up how often you will charge the client be entering the number and time interval (days, weeks, months, years).
  • Trial Period (Optional): Enter the number of days to offer a free trial period when someone signs up for this subscription.
  • Statement Descriptor (Optional): Customize how the charge will display on Bank Statements– Example: Exercise.com Monthly Subscription

ADVANCED OPTIONS:

  • Billing Cycle Anchor (Optional): This allows you to bill only on specific days of the week or month. If someone signs up on a different date, they will be charged a pro-rated amount on that day, then the full amount on the designated billing date.
  • End Subscription After (Optional): This allows you to collect a set number of payments before cancelling the subscription automatically.

Click the “Save” button to save your new plan.
