Is there a simple, no-code solution in Webflow to set up recurring payments for renting a product using the Stripe integration without the need to build everything from scratch?
- Use Stripe Checkout to create subscription products and embed hosted checkout links in Webflow.
- Integrate no-code tools like Memberstack or Outseta to manage subscriptions, recurring billing, and user accounts via Stripe.
- For simple recurring plans, embed purchase links from platforms like Gumroad or Payhip.
- Webflow’s native eCommerce only supports one-time payments, requiring third-party tools for subscriptions.
Webflow doesn’t currently support native recurring payments through its built-in eCommerce or Stripe integrations. However, you can still set up no-code recurring payments by using third-party tools that work seamlessly with Webflow.
1. Use Stripe Checkout with Subscription Links
- Stripe allows you to create recurring payment products directly in your Stripe Dashboard.
- After creating a subscription product and pricing plan, Stripe provides a hosted checkout link.
- Embed this link in Webflow using a button (set the button's URL to the Stripe link).
- Customers will be redirected to a secure Stripe-hosted page to complete their subscription.
2. Use Memberstack or Outseta (No-Code Membership Tools)
If you want more flexibility or need to manage members (e.g., renters with accounts), you can use tools like:
Memberstack:
Integrates with Webflow via an embed snippet.
Supports recurring payments using Stripe under the hood.
You can set up membership plans, including monthly or yearly subscriptions.
Outseta:
Combines authentication, CRM, and billing based on Stripe.
Supports subscriptions and recurring payment tracking.
Integrates well with Webflow and allows embedded login/signup forms.
Both platforms require no backend development and work with Stripe for secure payments.
3. Use Gumroad or Payhip (Simple Subscription Products)
- These platforms let you create subscriptions (e.g., monthly rental plans).
- You can embed purchase buttons or links in Webflow.
- Ideal for lightweight use-cases and don't require Stripe setup directly.
4. Limitations of Native Webflow eCommerce
- Webflow eCommerce currently supports one-time payments only.
- Even though it allows Stripe integration, it doesn't support subscription-based pricing natively.
- Attempting to build a full subscription system using Webflow eCommerce would require custom code or third-party tools.
Summary
Webflow doesn’t support recurring payments natively, but the easiest no-code solution is to use Stripe Checkout links, Memberstack, or Outseta for subscription management. These tools handle all the recurring billing logic and can be embedded into Webflow without building from scratch.
