How to set up recurring payments in Adalo?

Step 1: Add Stripe Component to Your App

Head over to Adalo's component marketplace.
Look for the Stripe component and hit "Add."
Once it's in, drop the Stripe component onto the screen you want.

Step 2: Set Up Your Stripe Account

Pop over to the Stripe website and sign up if you haven't already.
Grab your API keys (both the publishable and secret ones) from the Stripe dashboard.
In Adalo, go to the Stripe component settings and plug in those API keys.

Step 3: Configure the Payment Flow

Build a form in Adalo to gather payment info (like card details and billing address).
Make sure the form fields are connected to the right user data fields.
Set the form's action to trigger the Stripe payment when it's submitted.

Step 4: Create a Subscription Plan in Stripe

In your Stripe dashboard, head to the Products section under "Billing."
Create a new product and set up a recurring pricing plan for it.
Jot down the pricing plan ID; you'll need it for the Adalo setup.

Step 5: Connect Adalo to Subscription Plans

In Adalo, go to the screen where you want users to subscribe.
Add a button or some action element to kick off the subscription process.
Configure the action to use the Stripe API for creating a subscription, making sure to pass the user's details and the pricing plan ID.

Step 6: Handle Subscription Logic

Create a database collection in Adalo to store each user's subscription details.
Set up actions to save the subscription info when a user subscribes, including their status and payment dates.
Configure conditional visibility or actions in the app based on the user's subscription status.

Step 7: Test the Subscription Process

Make sure your app is in test mode in Stripe to avoid real charges during testing.
Use test credit card numbers provided by Stripe to simulate different scenarios.
Verify successful subscription creation, status changes, and any error handling.

Step 8: Go Live

Switch your Stripe account from test mode to live mode and replace the test API keys with live keys in Adalo.
Double-check all settings to ensure they are configured for live transactions.
Publish your Adalo app and start accepting real recurring payments.

Step 9: Monitor and Manage Subscriptions

Regularly monitor the Stripe dashboard to track subscription activity, payments, and any issues.
Use Adalo's data collections to handle subscription renewals, cancellations, and updates.

And there you have it! Follow these steps, and you'll have recurring payments set up in Adalo using Stripe.
