Repetitive Subscription Payments

Core Concept

This integration between Caspio and Stripe enables secure, repetitive (subscription-based) payments with centralized management. Subscription plans and customer subscription instances are managed within Caspio, while Stripe handles all payment execution and credit card storage. This architecture eliminates PCI exposure and security risk within Caspio.

Subscription Structure

Subscription Plans

• Defined and centralized in Caspio
• Supports daily, weekly, monthly plans and tiered offerings (e.g., Gold, Silver, Platinum)
• Multiple plans can exist within a single Caspio–Stripe environment

Subscription Instances

• Represent individual customer subscriptions
• Caspio tracks average monthly and yearly totals per customer
• Enables visibility into subscription value at the account level

Payment Processing & Synchronization

Stripe independently executes recurring charges on scheduled billing dates. To keep Caspio synchronized, Stripe webhooks are used to write payment outcomes back into Caspio, including both successful and failed transactions.

Payment Management Features

• Central payments panel in Caspio
• Visibility into successful and failed payments
• One-click, one-time retry capability for failed payments (e.g., expired cards)

User Experience

End users experience a simple and fast registration flow: selecting a subscription, entering billing details, and completing signup. All sensitive payment data remains securely stored in Stripe.

Key Benefits

• Centralized subscription and payment control in Caspio
• No credit card data stored in Caspio
• Automatic payment updates via Stripe webhooks
• Easy retry handling for failed payments
• Fast setup and production-proven architecture
• Ideal for SaaS and recurring-revenue Caspio applications

Overall Positioning

This integration delivers a lightweight, reliable subscription billing solution that combines Caspio’s data modeling and workflow strengths with Stripe’s secure payment infrastructure.
