Yes, you can implement recurring payments using Stripe with a Webflow site for an educational platform, but it requires external tools or custom integration.
- Tools like Memberstack, Outseta, or Stripe Checkout can enable recurring payments with minimal coding.
- Memberstack is commonly used with Webflow and supports monthly subscriptions tied to Stripe.
- You create plans in Stripe, connect them to Memberstack, and embed forms/buttons into Webflow.
2. Set Up Stripe Checkout
- Stripe Checkout allows recurring payments by configuring a subscription product within Stripe.
- Use a custom button in Webflow that redirects users to a Stripe-hosted payment page.
- After payment, you can redirect back to a "success" page using Stripe's return URL parameter.
- You can use Zapier or Make.com to link Stripe subscriptions to Webflow CMS or email platforms.
- For example, when someone subscribes, you can trigger an email or update a user record somewhere else.
4. Limitations of Webflow Native Ecommerce
- Webflow Ecommerce does not support subscription/recurring billing natively.
- If selling courses with ongoing access, you must manage the access and billing logic outside of Webflow, using memberships or gated content functionality (via Memberstack or similar).
Summary
You can implement recurring Stripe payments on your Webflow educational platform by using tools like Memberstack, Outseta, or Stripe Checkout, since Webflow doesn’t natively support subscriptions. Choose the integration method based on how much flexibility you need for user management and platform automation.
