Was able to configure the plugin just fine but then I realized, this plugin only allows for recurring subscriptions. Not one time subscriptions which expire after the defined period. Like charge X amount for 30 days. After 30 days the user gets removed from the premium group. They can buy it again if they want. Typically I offer 1 month, 3 month, 12 month memberships. Stripe requires me to register as a firm to be able to support recurring payments. I am taking one time payments on XenForo and the XenForo native feature handles the subscription expiry and removal from group membership. This completely obliterates my plan to move to discourse within a month. 😢 --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-subscriptions-plugin/140818)._
