express-billing-block v2.8.5

express-billing-block

An Express (4.0+) middleware for rendering billing pages to your users, directly connected to Stripe.

Designed for MongoDB.

Requires Bootstrap 4 (CSS + JS), jQuery, and Open Iconic on your client side.

The goal is to be a drop-in module for handling and managing Stripe subscriptions.

Show your users a status of their subscriptions, a list of invoices, and allow them to manage their subscriptions and cards on their own.

Features

• Upgrade popups
• List of recent invoices to download
• Support SCA (3D secure)
• Display alert in case of payment failure
• List active subscription plans
• Add/remove/select credit cards
• Support trials (with credit card)
• Button to self cancel subscriptions
• Support coupons in the URL
• Autogenerated pricing

Notes

• req.user must contain a valid user object

• In your Mongoose model, your users should have a plan attribute (if you offer plans) and a stripe object:

let UserSchema = {
	...
	plan: String,
	stripe: {
		subscriptionId: String,
		subscriptionStatus: String,
		customerId: String,
		subscriptionItems: []
	}
	...
}

• Set a Stripe webhook to https://your-site-url.com/billing/webhook and subscribe to: - invoice.payment_succeeded - customer.subscription.deleted - customer.subscription.updated
