Hi @bpuig!

I can see lots of new things coming in the v6 :)

What payment provider do you work with that you need to manually, periodically trigger the payment? I used to work with payment providers where we process the first payment with the option of recurring payments, and later it's them who trigger a webhook at our system, and we know whether the consecutive payments were successful or not and change the plan subscription accordingly.

PS. If you could remember about #80 and #90

Yeah 😎

Honestly, I can't think of any. I noticed that while I was doing it. I have a local bank provider that kinda looks like that. But I'll leave that as a base to start working on your own payment methods. It will be good for Free (for example you can set there to send an email to the client or something).

Yes, I think that is the way Stripe works. This can easily be achieved using null as payment_method. Subscription will become passive in means of what renews it.

I will, but I can only do things on weekends 😛

And the "free" plan will be then automatically renewed? You remember, we were talking about this as for me, the "free" should be just free and maintenance-free ;) Or we still need to run the scheduler to renew the free plan?

"Automatically", yes. Just run the payment collector schedule and it will be renewed. The default service for "free" does nothing but renew.

You need to run it because, one way or another, usage has to be reset. So the universal solution is a payment service that does nothing but renew.

Also note, this branch has many bugs now. Be careful.

I¡m stupid and did not squash commits 🤦‍♂️
