I am interested in recurring payments, but I don't know if that should be something handled by the BalancedPayments API or should it be done on the client side. I was planning on maintaining it on my side as I would probably have a little bit more control over the transaction, conditions, and so forth.

@khussein one possibility is that we open source a recurring payments module that you can just host on your own w/o needing Balanced or we could offer a hosted solution at a cost.
Very similar to how Chef or Puppet work.

I like the idea of Balanced allowing developers to create a plan objects where you could choose the amount, the funding source (ACH/credit card), and the interval (bi-weekly, monthly, annually).
Ideally, I'd like Webhooks to know when a buyer changes or cancels their plan. Or if their funding source fails for some reason (card expires, etc.)

There are no current plans to provide this functionality, but it can be revisited later.

+1 - I think recurring billing should work, but it depends on solid event notifications first.

I saw this was tagged with "willnotdo" does that mean it's completely off the table?

@taylorbrooks I had ruled it out for now, but @mahmoudimus and @mjallday have convinced me otherwise. @mjallday is right though. This is dependent on Balanced implementing events and webhooks

In terms of team focus, this is a feature we're not focused on at this very moment, so rather than have everyone's hopes up, @matin marked it as will not do and moved on to the more pressing issues -- feel free to correct me, @matin, if I'm wrong. However, I would think that this is a very useful feature and the more +1s for us, the more it makes sense for us to address it.
so, keep pressing us, we're listening :)

Yup, but that's properly the wrong approach to communicate the status of an issue. Otherwise, there's a few others where I should have taken the same approach.
To be clear, Balanced will implement a way to perform recurring billing. It's purely a matter for prioritization against other issues defined on GitHub.

One way to do recurring payments is to use ChargeBee, which can use Balanced as a back-end payment processor, see https://apidocs.chargebee.com/docs/api/subscriptions
I believe they charge a monthly fee based on the number of users to invoice, and then also pass along fees from their payment processor (e.g. 2.9% + 30ยข for Balanced). For some of you listening here this may be an acceptable fee to avoid having to set up the logic for handling recurring payments yourselves.
I think it would still be nice for Balanced to provide some built-in way of handling recurring payments, but this seems like a good stop-gap.

+1 for subscription features. Thanks!

Really need subscriptions for my business. Thanks!

Curious, is this on the docket as a possible feature?
I know there was some discussion of possibly creating an open source library for recurring payments.
Webhooks was a huge win for making something like this happen.

+1, nice to have - for now we will just re-create feature on our end using api

+1 for subscription / recurring payments support!

Recurring billing and other scheduled tasks will be supported through a separate service (maintained by Balanced) called Billy. @mahmoudimus has started the spec.
It's possible that the functionality of Billy will be integrated directly into the core Balanced API.

Any one knows about the recurring payment using balance payment

I'm interested in this feature!

If you're planning on taking credit card information for later billing (ie. the next day or a few weeks later) you MUST MUST MUST "claim" the credit card (token) you created immediately after creating it. To claim it you can simply do a GET for the card url (but any API-authenticated call will do). If you don't do this you'll find that the next day (or a few weeks later) the token is NOT FOUND because it was removed as unclaimed. Found this out the hard way...

@mazhar5012 I think it's pretty safe to say this is not going to happen. :)
