Recurring Payments

[johnathancroom]

Hey Noel,

I'm sure you've thought about this and have a few opinions on how you want this accomplished. One of the major things that concerns me is allowing the user to cancel a plan. This could be accomplished by:

1. Making them create a login/password
2. Emailing them a private link to view/edit/cancel their payment.
3. Other?

The obvious downside to (2) is that the link could get lost in their email and the obvious downside in (1) is complexity. I'm just throwing my thoughts around, so let me know what you're thinking!

I've actually set this up via stripe without the downside of a login/password and all the problems that would accompany an account system. It requires some modifications so that you're subscribing a user instead of just making a charge directly. I did this via some hacks (since you have to then pass a plan name via a shortcode in wordpress and in the url). I could pop this into a git repo at some point if needed.

@tchalvak If your still around we'd love a PR with your recurring payment improvements.

Yeah, I've actually opened an issue here:

For a bit more feedback on the approach, though I do intend to split out a pull request with explicit code to review as well.
