Stripe Plugin Actions
Charge the current user.
This action charges the current user and prompts them to enter their credit card information.
Register the user as a seller.
This action enables users to become merchants on your platform. For example, if you want to build a marketplace where users can sell their work to someone else, then they need to be able to credit their account when a transaction occurs.
Collect the user's CC information.
This action prompts the user to enter their credit card information without actually charging the card.
Charge a user using saved CC.
This action charges a user that has already entered the credit card information. It does not have to be the current user in this case.
Note: If no credit card information is available, the action will fail.
Subscribe the user to a plan.
This action subscribes a user to a plan, which was previously defined in Stripe. Then, the card will be charged on a regular basis.
Tip: If the user is already on a plan, their subscription will be updated to the new plan. If the user fails to enter their credit card information, the workflow will stop running.
Note: Since the app has two versions - Development and Live - you need to have both versions of your account in Stripe to have the same plans with the same IDs.
