Billing Subscrition

A repository to experiment with Stripe webhooks.

1. What do you need

• Ruby on Rails
• Stripe CLI

1. Run the application

bin/rails s -p 3001

2. Redirect events to the local server

stripe listen --forward-to localhost:3001/stripe_webhooks

3. Interact with Stripe and do the following actions

• Create a subscription for a customer.
• If the customer does not exists yet, remember to create it and to add an email, otherwise, the subscription can't be created.
• The customer must have a payment method. A Stripe fake credit card can be used as explained here

2. Pay the subscription from Invoices >> Charge customer

3. Cancel the subscription only if it is paid.

4. You can corroborate each previous action in the Rails Console if needed

• Check for the user and its subscriptions

user = User.last
user.subscriptions

ℹ️ The external_id of user and subscription models, corresponds to the id in Stripe

• Check for the status of the subscription once created

subscription = Subscription.find_by(external_id: stripe_subscripion_id) 
subscription.unpaid?

• Check for the status of the subscription once paid

subscription = Subscription.find_by(external_id: stripe_subscripion_id) 
subscription.paid?

• Check for the status of the subscription once canceled

subscription = Subscription.find_by(external_id: stripe_subscripion_id) 
subscription.canceled?
