Setting up monthly subscription on Stripe through Zapier

Design help Ecommerce
#1

Hi all!

I’m working on a website that sells some products, and one of them is a monthly subscription.

The client is using Stripe as their payment provider, and on Stripe they have a product that is a Sponsorship that shall bill their clients once per month.

I’ve added this product on Webflow, and my idea is to use Zapier to add the customers to the product on Stripe once they buy the product on Webflow.

My problem is how to create a filter on Zapier. I’ve connected the Webflow project and Stripe, so it sends each new order to set up a new subscription on Stripe. But it should only occur on one product, not all.

I’ve added a hidden input field that is enabled on the product with the subscription, but it doesn’t show up on Zapier.

This code will show up on products where a switch is on.

<input type="hidden" id="subscriptionOn" name="subscriptionOn" value="TRUE">

And this field will show up on products were the switch is turned off.

<input type="hidden" id="subscriptionOff" name="subscriptionOff" value="FALSE">

These are added on the checkout page, and my idea was that these were sent so it was picked up on Zapier so I could add a filter for them.

Hey @torkelv !

Consider trying our new app Simple Subscriptions – we built it for exactly this use case and it’s currently in free beta.

A couple things about it that made me think it fits your use case:

  • It allows subscription products to be sold and purchased alongside non-subscription products.
  • All subscription products simply live inside your Webflow products collection, just like your non-subscription products.
  • There are no zaps or add’l workflows required, which if broken (which can often happen in no-code workflows) may create risk/complexity on a business-critical functionality, like getting your shoppers on a subscription.

Standing by if I can help you get set up in the free beta! Standing by – mack@monto.io

Heya @torkelv! :sunny:

Not sure if you’re completely ‘married’ to Zapier or if you’re considering other options, so I’m chiming in with a recommendation. Maybe have a look at Integromat. It’s a no-code integration platform too but it’s way more powerful than Zapier. It lets you create all kinds of workflows - as simple or complex as you need. You also get to build multistep, non-linear connections and use filters and functions. Both Webflow and Stripe are supported and I see that there’s even a bunch of pre-made templates that could be useful for you. :slightly_smiling_face:
