Integrate Recurring Stripe Subscription Payment with PHP

The Stripe Subscription API is a simple way to integrate recurring website payments For recurring billing, subscription payment is required if you want to implement the membership subscription system on the web application. The Stripe payment gateway allows you to integrate recurring payment with the APIs. Stripe subscription is a fast and efficient way for you to buy membership online with a credit card.

In the Stripe subscription payment, the buyer is recurringly charged on the basis of a specific period of time. Your website members will agree to a plan and make the payment without leaving the website with their credit/debit card. We will show you how to integrate Stripe subscription payment with PHP in this tutorial.

Take a look at the directory layout before you begin implementing Stripe Subscription Payment API in PHP.

Generate Stripe Test API Keys

You need the test API keys data to check the subscription payment process.

Login to your Stripe account and navigate to the Developers » API keys page.
In the TEST DATA block, you’ll see the API keys (Publishable key and Secret key) are listed under the Standard keys section. To show the Secret key, click on the Reveal test key token button.

Copay and Paste the Publishable key and Secret key in your Notepad to use later in the script.

Download Stripe PHP Library

The Stripe PHP library is used to access the PHP Stripe API. It helps create customer, plan, and subscription to Stipre API. The required library files should be included in our source code.

Create Plans, Stripe API and Database Configuration (dbconfig.php)


<?php 
// Subscription plans 
$plans = array( 
    '1' => array( 
        'name' => 'Weekly Subscription', 
        'price' => 25, 
        'interval' => 'week' 
    ), 
    '2' => array( 
        'name' => 'Monthly Subscription', 
        'price' => 80, 
        'interval' => 'month' 
    ), 
    '3' => array( 
        'name' => 'Yearly Subscription', 
        'price' => 850, 
        'interval' => 'year' 
    ) 
); 

//Currency code
$currency = "usd";  
 
// Stripe API configuration  
define('STRIPE_API_KEY', 'Your_API_Secret_key');  //STRIPE_API_KEY – Specify the API Secret key.
define('STRIPE_PUBLISHABLE_KEY', 'Your_API_Publishable_key'); //STRIPE_PUBLISHABLE_KEY – Specify the API Publishable key.
  
// Database configuration  
define('DB_HOST', 'MySQL_Database_Host'); 
define('DB_USERNAME', 'MySQL_Database_Username'); 
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'MySQL_Database_Password'); 
define('DB_NAME', 'MySQL_Database_Name');

// Connect with the database  
$db = new mysqli(DB_HOST, DB_USERNAME, DB_PASSWORD, DB_NAME);  
  
// Display error if failed to connect  
if ($db->connect_errno) {  
    printf("Connect failed: %s\n", $db->connect_error);  
    exit();  
}

<?php

// Subscription plans

$plans = array(

'1' => array(

'name' => 'Weekly Subscription',

'price' => 25,

'interval' => 'week'

'2' => array(

'name' => 'Monthly Subscription',

'price' => 80,

'interval' => 'month'

'3' => array(

'name' => 'Yearly Subscription',

'price' => 850,

'interval' => 'year'

)

);

//Currency code

$currency = "usd";

// Stripe API configuration

define('STRIPE_API_KEY', 'Your_API_Secret_key'); //STRIPE_API_KEY – Specify the API Secret key.

define('STRIPE_PUBLISHABLE_KEY', 'Your_API_Publishable_key'); //STRIPE_PUBLISHABLE_KEY – Specify the API Publishable key.

// Database configuration

define('DB_HOST', 'MySQL_Database_Host');

define('DB_USERNAME', 'MySQL_Database_Username');

define('DB_PASSWORD', 'MySQL_Database_Password');

define('DB_NAME', 'MySQL_Database_Name');

// Connect with the database

$db = new mysqli(DB_HOST, DB_USERNAME, DB_PASSWORD, DB_NAME);

// Display error if failed to connect

if ($db->connect_errno) {

printf("Connect failed: %s\n", $db->connect_error);

exit();

}

Note: Stripe API Secret key and Publishable key will be found in the API Keys Data section of your Stripe account.

Create Database Tables

Two tables are required in the database to store the member and subscription information.

1. The following SQL creates an users table to hold the member’s info in the MySQL database.


CREATE TABLE `users` (
 `id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
 `subscription_id` int(11) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
 `first_name` varchar(25) COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL,
 `last_name` varchar(25) COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL,
 `email` varchar(50) COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL,
 `password` varchar(255) COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL,
 `gender` enum('Male','Female') COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL,
 `phone` varchar(15) COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL,
 `created` datetime NOT NULL,
 `modified` datetime NOT NULL,
 `status` enum('1','0') COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL DEFAULT '1',
 PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 COLLATE=utf8_unicode_ci;

CREATE TABLE `users` (

`status` enum('1','0') COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL DEFAULT '1',

PRIMARY KEY (`id`)

) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 COLLATE=utf8_unicode_ci;

2. The following SQL creates a user_subscriptions_details table to hold the subscription info in the MySQL database.


CREATE TABLE `user_subscriptions_details` (
 `id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
 `user_id` int(11) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
 `payment_method` enum('stripe') COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL DEFAULT 'stripe',

 `plan_period_end` datetime NOT NULL,
 `status` varchar(50) COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL,
 PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 COLLATE=utf8_unicode_ci;

CREATE TABLE `user_subscriptions_details` (

`id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,

`user_id` int(11) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',

`payment_method` enum('stripe') COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL DEFAULT 'stripe',

Process Subscription Payment (payment.php)

In this file, the submitted card details are validated and the subscription plan is activated with Stripe API using PHP.

Get the logged-in user ID from the SESSION.
Retrieve the token, selected plan, card details, and buyer info from the form fields using the PHP $_POST method.
Fetch the plan details (name, price, and term) from the $plans array.
Include the Stripe PHP library.
Set API Secret key using setApiKey() method of Stripe class.
Add the customer using create() method of Stripe Customer API.
- email – Buyer email
- source – Stripe token
Create a plan using the create() method of Stripe Plan API.
- product – The product whose pricing the created plan will represent.
  - product.name – Plan name.
- amount – A positive integer in cents (or 0 for a free plan) which will charge on a recurring basis.
- currency – Three-letter ISO currency code in lowercase.
- interval – Specify billing frequency (day, week, month or year).
- interval_count – The number of intervals between subscription billings. For example, interval=month and interval_count=2 bills every 2 months. Maximum of one year (1 year, 12 months, or 52 weeks) interval allowed.
Create a subscription using create() method of Stripe Subscription API.
- customer – The identifier of the customer to subscribe.
- items – List of the subscription plans.
  - items.plan – Attach plan ID.
If the plan and subscription creation are successful, retrieve transaction data. On successful activation,
- Insert the subscription information into the database.
- Attach the subscription reference ID to the respective member.
Display subscription payment status on the webpage.
