Upcoming payments

blogstatic Payments are managed by Stripe.

Stripe sends out email notifications for upcoming payments, failed cards, and notifications about expiring cards.

blogstatic sends out email notifications about failed payments and account deletion notices.

Notifications

This is the current mechanism in place for account upgrades, notifications, and cancelations.

Upcoming payments

  • 15 days before an upcoming payment, Stripe sends out an email notifying the customer about the upcoming charge.
    • The customer can manage their account directly from this Email

Expiring cards

  • If Stripe notices that the card on file is expiring, it sends out an email 30 days before the card expiration date with a link to update card details or add a new card

Failed payments

  • If a payment fails, Stripe sends out an Email to the customer about the failed payment
  • This email contains a link that gives the customer the ability to update their card details
  • Stripe will try up to 4 times within a week.
  • Again, from the same email, the customer can manage their account and cancel or update their card details.

blogstatic notifications about failed payments

  • Once the payment fails, blogstatic will send out an email notifying the customer about their failed payment and that they have to upgrade within a week.
  • 7 days after the failed payment, if the blog has not been paid for, the customer is sent out another email notifying them that their blog will be deleted by the next day.
