Adds Blik as a supported payment method for recurring payments in Stripe Billing Public preview

What’s new

Note

the related setting recurring payments for Stripe Billing requires account-level enablement. Contact Stripe support to request access for your account.

Adds support for the related setting as a payment method for recurring payments in Stripe Billing. You can use the related setting with Subscriptions, Invoices and Checkout Sessions for off-session recurring payments in Poland.

This implementation uses flexible mandates ( Model O) that allow variable payment amounts up to 2000 PLN per transaction. When you create a subscription or invoice with the related setting, customers can authorise recurring payments through the mandate_options parameter.

This payment method is available in Poland with PLN currency only.

Impact

You can offer Polish customers the ability to pay for subscriptions and recurring invoices using the related setting, a popular mobile payment method in Poland. This increases payment options for businesses operating in the Polish market and can help decrease payment friction for local customers.

To use the related setting for recurring payments, add blik to the payment_method_types parameter when creating subscriptions or include it in your Checkout Session configuration. Configure the expires_after parameter to set how long the recurring payment authorisation remains valid, if not perpetual.
