The Stripe WooCommerce Extension does not interface with the Stripe Billing feature offered by Stripe. Instead, it is designed to handle subscriptions and subscription renewal payments by:
- Saving and using secure tokens of customer and payment information.
- Allowing extensions like Woo Subscriptions to provide versatile recurring payment solutions on WooCommerce sites.
With Stripe Billing, handling recurring payments requires:
- Keeping two copies of each subscription’s data in sync on two different systems — one in WooCommerce and one at Stripe — which can cause issues.
- Limiting or barring the use of a myriad of Woo Subscriptions’ features, like payment date changes.
How are recurring payments handled in my Stripe dashboard?
↑ Back to topYou will not see subscriptions paid for via the Stripe WooCommerce Extension in your Stripe Dashboard under the Billing menu. Instead — as long as your store is running smoothly — individual payments that are a part of a subscription will show up in the Stripe Dashboard as Payments.
