How to receive recurring subscription payments for your SaaS Bubble app using Stripe

Many solo founders of SaaS apps have spent hundreds of hours building the solution to a problem before they release it to their customers. Without a method to receive regular payments from your customers, your app is more of a hobby than a viable business, so payment processing is critical to your plan.

The trouble is that processing payments is complicated, requires a high degree of trust, and the MVP for the security controls need to be at 100%. In addition there are many regulations regarding the collection and storage of credit card details which if you get wrong, could result in financial and/or criminal proceedings against you.

For these reasons any wise solo founder will use existing services for the management of payment information so you can relieve yourself of all of these burdens, and focus on the business value that your app provides. Let Stripe worry about PCI DSS, and instead spend your time on feature development.

If you have the funds then using a plugin like billflow.io looks good, but if you need to keep running costs low then building it yourself is possible.
