Create a customer
Create a customer for every new user or business you want to bill. When you create a new customer, set up a minimal customer profile to help generate more useful invoices, and enable Smart Retries (if you’re an Invoicing Plus user). After you set up your customer, you can issue one-off invoices or create subscriptions.
Caution
Before you create a new customer, make sure that the customer doesn’t already exist in the Dashboard. Creating multiple customer entries for the same customer can cause you problems later on, such as when you need to reconcile transaction history or coordinate saved payment methods.
Create a product and price
Define all your business and product offerings in one place. Products define what you sell and Prices track how much and how often to charge. This is a core entity within Stripe that works with subscriptions, invoices, and Checkout.
Prices enable these use cases:
- A software provider that charges a one-time setup fee whenever a user creates a new subscription.
- An e-commerce store that sends a recurring box of goods for 10 USD per month and wants to allow customers to purchase one-time add-ons.
- A professional services firm that can now create a standard list of services and choose from that list per invoice instead of typing out each line item by hand.
- A non-profit organization that allows donors to define a custom recurring donation amount per customer.
You can manage your product catalog with products and prices. Products define what you sell and prices track how much and how often to charge. Manage your products and their prices in the Dashboard or through the API.
