Capture the information you need from Stripe the "right" way with these best practices and account management tips
Setting up a free or test price
If you're looking to test your Stripe integration without actually spending money, you can set up a $0 recurring price that appears on your Payment page.
When creating your testing price, be sure to set your price to Recurring and not One time or else you will not be able to apply it inside your Hub.
Collecting mailing addresses
If you need to collect mailing addresses from members, you can add this field into your Stripe Customer Portal where your members edit their subscription details. Members will need to fill in this information after they have access to the Hub by accessing the Customer Portal. Learn more about how to set up the Customer Portal in Stripe.
Passing information to your email provider or other platforms

-
Create a Segment with the information you’d like to pass on and Export this list
