Subscription
Charging customers automatically every month or year.
What is Subscription?
Subscriptions are recurring payments. Stripe handles the billing automatically — charging the card, retrying failed payments, sending receipts. You just tell Stripe the price and interval.
Most SaaS apps use subscriptions as their business model. Customers pay monthly or yearly, and you build a predictable revenue stream.
In Vibe Coding
Stripe handles subscriptions end-to-end. You create a pricing plan in Stripe, add a checkout link to your vibe coded app, and Stripe automatically charges the customer every billing cycle. Your webhook listens for events like "subscription cancelled."
Example
For example: You launch a SaaS at $19/month. 50 users subscribe. Each month, Stripe automatically charges all 50 cards, retries any that fail, and sends you $950 minus fees. No code needed for billing logic.
