Stripe Billing

Stripe Billing handles recurring payments, subscription management, and invoice generation without requiring you to build the plumbing yourself. It works with metered billing, tiered pricing, flat-rate subscriptions, and usage-based models. You can set up free trials, prorate upgrades or downgrades, and handle dunning for failed payments automatically. The system integrates directly with Stripe's broader ecosystem, meaning you manage payments, tax calculation, and revenue reporting in one place. It supports multiple currencies and local payment methods, which matters if you sell internationally. Stripe Billing includes a checkout UI that you can embed or link to, and it provides customer portals where users update their own plans or payment methods. For larger operations, there is API access for custom subscription logic and webhooks for real-time event handling. The platform also generates revenue reports and offers Smart Retries for failed card charges, which recovers some lost revenue. It is a good fit for SaaS companies, membership sites, and any online business that bills on a recurring basis. Stripe Billing was built by Stripe, the online payment processor founded in 2010.
