Once you click on the checkbox of Enable recurring subscription payments. Then additional settings will appear like:

• Plan Name:
  • This is a title for the subscription, so here you can describe the title such as “Donation to X”. And this will appear within the Stripe transaction.
• Recurring Period:
  • Here, you need to choose how often the recurring payments should occur:
    • Daily,
    • Weekly,
    • Monthly,
    • Quarterly,
    • Semi-Yearly, or
    • Yearly.
• Customer Email:
  • Within this dropdown, choose an Email field from your form where the customer can be contacted. This is needed to create a subscription for a customer in Stripe.

4.5 Enable conditional logic

• By using Stripe Addon settings, you can also use conditional logic.
• Previously, you have created a simple order form.
• For that, you have enabled:
  • One-Time Payment Option.
  • And Recurring Payment Option.
• Now you can also put conditional logic for the created simple order form by clicking the checkbox of Enable conditional logic.
