→ Plans are at the heart of subscriptions, establishing the billing cycle, currency, and base cost.

→ Every plan is attached to particular product, which represents the application or service offered to customers.

→ Products can have multiple plans, reflecting variations in price and duration—such as monthly and annual pricing at different rates.

⇒ There are two different types of products: goods and services.

⇒ Goods are intended for use with the Orders API and mostly for one time payment while services are for subscriptions.

• Create Plan

Plans have the following parameters :-

Product: It’s the ID of an existing product to associate with the plan or the properties to define a new product.

Amount: It’s what the customer is charged per subscription per interval.

Interval: Which is billing period for the plan, which can range from a single day to a year. The interval options are like day, week, month, and year.

Id: A unique identifier. This is auto-generated by Stripe. You can also override this value, but plan ID must be unique across all the plans in your Stripe account.

• Delete Plan

→ Customers allow you to perform recurring charges, and to track multiple charges, that are associated with the same customer.

→ These examples for create, retrieve and delete customer.

\Stripe\Stripe::setApiKey(“STRIPE_SECRET”);

$customer = \Stripe\Customer::create(array(

           “description” => ”Customer for [email protected]”, //It is displayed alongside the customer in the dashboard.

           “source” => “tok_cardtoken”,  //Bank or Card token

           “email” => “[email protected]”,

           “metadata” =>[],

           “coupon” => “25_5OFF”, //The code of the coupon to apply to this subscription.

        ));

\Stripe\Stripe::setApiKey(“STRIPE_SECRET”);

$customer = \Stripe\Customer::retrieve(“customer_id”);

\Stripe\Stripe::setApiKey(“STRIPE_SECRET”);

$customer = \Stripe\Customer::retrieve(“customer_id”);

$customer->delete();

→ Stripe Connect is a full-stack resolution for using Stripe’s capabilities on behalf of others.

→ Connect provides a robust API and different tools you need to make charges, as well as onboard, verify, and pay sellers, contractors, service providers: whomever your business’s users are.

→ You can connect your platform to existing Stripe accounts or produce new ones.

→ With Connect, users of your platform will have one of 3 types of Stripe accounts:

Standard: A Standard Stripe account is a conventional Stripe account controlled directly by the account holder (i.e., your platform’s user).

Express: An Express Stripe account provides the platform with the ability to specify the flow of funds and the responsibility for handling disputes and refunds, similar to a Custom account. But with Express accounts, Stripe handles the onboarding and identity verification process.

Custom: A Custom Stripe account is nearly utterly completely invisible to the account holder. You—the platform—are to blame for all interactions along with your user, including collecting any data Stripe needs.

1. Create an Account

\Stripe\Stripe::setApiKey(“STRIPE_SECRET”);
    $account =  \Stripe\Account::create([

         “type” => “custom”,

         “country” => “US”,

         “email” => “[email protected]“

        ]);

 \Stripe\Stripe::setApiKey(“STRIPE_SECRET”);     
        $account = \Stripe\Account::retrieve(account_Id);

        $account->external_account = ‘source_token’;

        $account->legal_entity->first_name = first_name;

        $account->legal_entity->last_name = last_name;

        $account->save();

\Stripe\Stripe::setApiKey(“STRIPE_SECRET”);    
    \Stripe\FileUpload::create([

               “purpose” => “identity_document”,

               “file” => fopen($file, ‘r’)

      ]);

\Stripe\Stripe::setApiKey(“STRIPE_SECRET”);    
     $account = \Stripe\Account::retrieve(“account_id”);

     $account->legal_entity->verification->document = uploaded_document_id;

     $account->save();

→ Stripe Connect platforms can reverse transfers made to a connected account, either entirely or partially, and can also specify whether to refund any related application fees. Transfer reversals add to the platform’s balance and subtract from the destination account’s balance.

→ Manually Payout Transferred Amount to Connected Account

→ The charge issues an authorization (or pre-authorization), and will need to be captured later.

→ Uncaptured charges expire in seven days.

→ Capture the payment of an existing, uncaptured, charge.

→ This is the second half of the two-step payment flow, where first you created a charge with the capture option set to false.
