Colin, are automatic renewal payments coming?

• cperciva 14y ago
  Yes. I needed to get credit card processing working first before I can start to work on storing cards to charge later.

    The Stripe API for this was marvelously simple to work with. All told, I had around 20-25 lines of code for dealing with subscriptions.

      Yes, the work needed is on Tarsnap's side, not the Stripe-interfacing bits. I need to attach Stripe IDs to accounts, find out when and how much people want their accounts to be automatically recharged (and store those parameters), write code which checks each account to see if it needs to be recharged, etc.

        This is welcome news. I like tarsnap but really don't like the possibility of losing all my tarsnap backups because I am not around to recharge it within the small window. I might be out on an mountaineering trip and be away from the email alert or something else like that.
