Subscriptions Part 1: Setting up your subscription product in your Payment Processor

 

---

1. Your first step is to set up a product inside your payment processor. Your payment processor is going to handle all of the charges for your subscription product. This is where you are going to determine how much your customer is charged and how frequently.

 

2. Head over to Stripe, and click on Products

 

3. Click on Add product

 

4. Give your subscription a name

 

5. Change the price to the amount you want your customers to be charged

 

6. Change your Billing Period to the Frequency that you want your customers to be charged.

 

7. You will not need to set up a free trial inside your product, that is a legacy feature that Stripe is doing away with. You will configure any type of free trial information inside of CartHero.

 

8. Save your product. This is going to bring your subscription plan over into CartHero.

 

9. Next, you will head over to CartHero, and click on Deactivated Plans, under Subscriptions

 

10. Search for your subscription plan that you just created in Stripe

 

11. This is where you will set up all of the settings and configurations about which products your customers receive when new charges come from your payment processor.

This is also where you will decide what CartHero does with these orders once they are created (being sent over to Shopify or Woocomerce), so that all fulfillment can take place just as a normal order.
