Internal Billing
If you have Stripe account, we would suggest you select “Internal Billing” option, and then go to your main partner workspace integration tab, and connect your Stripe account.
You can follow the video below for the whole Stripe billing automation.
In this tutorial, you will be able to set up Stripe billing automation. UChat will handle the purchase & cancellation automation.
You can watch our Youtube video below:
The features:
You will be able to automatically upgrade the user’s workspace to the plan you connected
You will be able to select to install the template to the new workspace, it will install in the omni channel
You will be able to automate the purchase & cancellation process
Please note, using Stripe billing automation, it will automate create new workspace, not upgrade existing workspace. And also you need to make sure you have enough partner credit in your wallet.
Connect your Stripe account
First, you need to connect your Stripe account, you need to go to “Integration”, and then “Stripe”
After you connect your Stripe account, it will show up like this:
Create Stripe subscription product
You can create subscription product directly in Stripe or create product through 3rd party platforms like Thrivecart & GoHigh Level.
Create subscription product in Stripe
In this section, We will show you how to create subscription product in Stripe directly.
You can go to “Products”, and then click “Add product” in your Stripe dashboard.
And then you can update your product details like name, description, image, and recurring pricing, check the screenshot below:
After you save your products, Next step, you will be able to connect this subscription plan with your paid plans in UChat.
Please note, you can also create the Stripe subscription product through 3rd party platforms like Thrivecart or Go High Level.
The same subscription products purchase can also be automated if you link the product with any of your paid plans.
Connect Stripe Subscription with your plans
Now, after you created your Stripe billing plan, it’s time for you to link the subscription plan with your paid plans.
So, In your partner main workspace, go to “Partner settings”, and then select “Plans & Features”, then select any of the paid plan(not the free plan). and then you will see the Stripe billing tab as per screenshot below:
So if you click the Stripe price dropdown, it will pull all the subscription products from your Stripe account. You can select the pricing you want to link to this plan.
And also you can select the templates you want to install when this plan is purchased.
After you selected, please make sure you actually save the plan & templates assigned.
Please note, you can set up to 10 different plans link to the same plan. Each of the plan can install/assign different templates.
Test the purchase
After you set up & link Stripe subscription to your plan, now it’s time that you can do a simple test. Do a demo purchase, and then see if the user’s new workspace created or not. and see if the template you choose installed in the omni channel or not.
Make sure you have enough of the credit in your partner wallet, otherwise the upgrade won’t be successful. It will trigger the “no_enough_credit” event if you set up webhook URL to listen the events.
If you are existing user
if you are existing user, which means your email on the checkout page is the same as the email to login your white label partner platform, then after the purchase, we will actually create a new workspace under the same email login, and also install the template you have assigned to this workspace.
If you are new user
If you are new user to your platform. We will actually send the welcome email from your own email STMP(if you have set up by following this tutorial).
And since we automatically create a random password for the new user, so it’s best practice that you reminder the user to reset their password to get access to their workspace.
If you set up webhook events in your partner settings:
And in our partner API, you should be able to pick up the following event:
And then you can set up your own automation to reminder the user to reset their password.
Transaction history check
If you have enough credit in your partner wallet, you will find the transaction history as per the screenshot below.
If you don’t have enough credit in your wallet, and you will be able to receive “no_enough_credit” event to your webhook.
You need to follow our partner API documents here to set up the webhook URL.
Purchase cancellation automation
So if your customer want to cancelation the plan, you can simply go to your Stripe account, and select the customer & subscription, and cancel it for them.
For the cancellation, you can choose to cancel immediately or cancel at end of the current billing cycle.
if you choose cancel immediately, the customer’s workspace will immediately drop to the free plan. If you choose to cancel at the end of current billing cycle. We will drop their workspace to the free plan at the currently billing cycle.
Please note, this automation will only work if they subscribed through the Stripe billing automation.
