Laravel subscription implementation without Stripe


I have a Laravel project that users must subscribe to one of our plans and each plan has its own specific features, like http://busy.io subscription system. As far as billing services like Stripe and Braintree do not support IRR (ريال) currency, and also, PayPal and Visa are not available in Iran (that does not mean we don't have online billing service, we have our local banking system), I have to implement users subscription system by myself.

Obviously, Laravel Cashier cannot be helpful, so I need some guides to follow. I don't have any idea about how it should be implemented.

For more detail, I'm gonna build a social-media scheduling service and my pricing is much like http://busy.io/pricing, but a little bit different.

Any advice or suggestion would be appreciated.

Thanks.


Solution

  • I think that you have to make a system on which you can transfer money into your account before you run out of money.

    We in the Netherlands have also a system that is widely used voor internet banking (iDeal). You can only transfor money once with it. Not for a subcription-like monthly payment.

    I guess that there will be something similar available for you.

    One downside: when you are storing other people's balance in your own database, security is a VERY IMPORTANT thing to consider.
