Hello, could we have a tutorial or a series of tutorials for creating subscription based apps with Stripe? I saw the one from youtube with xano, but it would help to have one with supabase and airtable as well + something that takes you step by step. The one from youtube looks more like a demo than a step by step guide. A lot of steps had already been done in advance and it’s a bit hard to follow.

Also, some useful items to be included in the tutorial are:
1 Limiting user features based on the subscription plan, not just hiding certain pages.
Example: User can post 3 posts on the free plan, 6 posts on the plus plan and 9 posts on the premium plan.
Example 2: User can use feature 1 because it’s in the free plan, but when they try to use feature 2 which is in the premium plan, to get a popup telling them to upgrade.
-
Showing the user’s current plan in a “settings” page and showing how the user can upgrade downgrade and cancel their plan.
-
Managing a user’s plan:
Example: If a user pays for a year and then wants a refund. The app owner will need cancel the user’s subscription, give them the refund and then limit their app features. So showing how this process works. Is it automated via Stripe? Changing the user’s plan in my Stripe dashboard will automatically limit their features in the front end? -
Showing who sends and how to set up the transactional emails : You have purchased the premium plan, This is your invoice, You have downgraded your plan, You have canceled your plan, Here is your refund.
I know this is a lot, but this part of an app is very important, and almost no one is providing this information from start to finish.
Hi @radume 
Have you had a chance to look at the videos in our Stripe mini-course by any chance?
It won’t answer all of your questions but might give you a little bit more understanding of how Stripe works and where to get started.
Yes, this is the video I was talking about Stripe Subscriptions, it gives some information, but like I said earlier, it seems more like a demo than a step by step tutorial. This is the problem that I saw with all the tools on the market, Flutterflow, Bubble, Adalao… For people that already have some development skills it’s more than enough, but for the other users that want to create apps, there is a lot of information missing and it’s almost impossible to fill in the gaps unless someone shows you from start to finish how to do it without skipping steps.

Got it!
We’re currently hiring a DevRel and an Education & Community Lead to help us produce more educational content.

Thank you, @Joyce. Does this mean we will see less of you in the videos? I have always loved your style and content. Keep up the great work!

I totally agree with @radume !
I couldnt understand all the steps that were implemented on those videos about stripe.
A lot of the stuff is already pre-filled.
Its not a proper walkthrough, more like a demo
It would be very nice if weweb made a complete documentation for stripe subscriptions and a real tutorial
I also saw other people having issues with this and since subscriptions is one of the bases of a SaaS it would be very important for the weweb users to have this
Also I love your videos @Joyce . If you guys did a video with your didactic and teaching skiils it would be perfect.

I am facing similar issues. There seems to be no documentation of any kind that simply explains the right way to handle the Weweb + Stripe integration specific for subscriptions. (The docs that use paymentintent don’t work for subscriptions)
Hey there, duly noted! We’ll try to prioritize those in our upcoming update of the Academy.
It might not be before the end of the year though because we are juggling a LOT of educational priorities at the moment and it’s not a blocker in the sense that there are satisfactory alternatives to using our Stripe plugin right now (i.e. setting up Stripe via your backend).
Still, can’t make any promises but will do my best to deliver in the next few months!
