Definition

A recurring payment that charges a customer automatically on a regular schedule — monthly, yearly, etc.

دفع متكرر يُحصِّل من العميل تلقائيًا وفق جدول منتظم — شهريًا أو سنويًا وغيره.

Why It Matters

A SaaS or membership feature in a 404Fault project needs subscriptions. Without Stripe handling renewal, you'd need to manually bill customers every month.

ميزة SaaS أو عضوية في مشروع 404Fault تحتاج اشتراكات. بدون Stripe يتعامل مع التجديد، ستحتاج إلى فوترة العملاء يدويًا كل شهر.

Full Definition

Stripe Subscriptions manage recurring billing automatically. You create a Product (e.g., 'Pro Plan') with a Price ($20/month), then create a Subscription for a customer. Stripe handles the billing cycle, retries failed payments, sends invoices, and fires webhooks on renewal events. Subscription status (active, past_due, canceled) determines what features the user can access.
Stripe Subscriptions تدير الفوترة المتكررة تلقائيًا. تُنشئ منتجًا (مثلاً 'الخطة الاحترافية') بسعر (20$/شهر)، ثم تُنشئ اشتراكًا للعميل. Stripe يتعامل مع دورة الفوترة ويُعيد محاولة المدفوعات الفاشلة ويرسل الفواتير ويُطلق webhooks عند أحداث التجديد. حالة الاشتراك (نشط ومتأخر في الدفع وملغى) تُحدِّد ما يمكن للمستخدم الوصول إليه.

Example Usage

A project management SaaS built on 404Fault charges $15/month. Stripe Subscription automatically renews on the 1st of each month and fires a webhook to unlock premium features.

SaaS لإدارة المشاريع مبني على 404Fault يُحصِّل 15$/شهر. Stripe Subscription يُجدِّد تلقائيًا في الأول من كل شهر ويُطلق webhook لفتح الميزات المميزة.
