WP Simple Pay 4.0 Released: Stripe Customer Portal and Customizable Emails

Stripe customer portal

The newly introduced Stripe customer portal is a Stripe-hosted page that lets your customers manage their subscriptions and billing details, which WP Simple Pay now integrates with.

The portal provides subscription and billing management features that allow your customers to:

• Update subscriptions, including upgrading, downgrading, and changing the quantities of their subscriptions
• Cancel subscriptions, immediately or at the end of a billing period
• Update payment methods like adding and removing cards
• View billing history and download invoices
• Update billing information, such as their email address, phone number, and shipping address

Payment Receipt – Send an email to the customer’s email address when a successful purchase occurs.

Payment Notification – Send an email to the website owner when a successful purchase occurs.

Upcoming Invoice – Send an email to the customer when a Subscription has an upcoming invoice.

Invoice Receipt – Send an email to the customer when a subscription invoice is paid.
