See slack-ruby/slack-ruby-bot-server-stripe-sample for a working sample.

Add 'slack-ruby-bot-server-stripe' to Gemfile.

gem 'slack-ruby-bot-server-stripe'

Configure your app, typically via config/initializers/slack_ruby_bot_server_stripe.rb.

SlackRubyBotServer::Stripe.configure do |config|
  config.stripe_api_key = ENV['STRIPE_API_KEY'] # Stripe API key
  config.stripe_api_publishable_key = ENV['STRIPE_API_PUBLISHABLE_KEY'] # Stripe publishable API key
  config.subscription_plan_id = ENV['STRIPE_SUBSCRIPTION_PLAN_ID'] # Stripe subscription plan ID
  config.trial_duration = 2.weeks # Trial duration
  config.root_url = ENV['URL'] || 'http://localhost:5000' # Bot root of subscription info links
end

By default the configuration will use the values in the environment variables above.

Define additional fields on your database.

Additional fields from models/mongoid.rb are automatically included.

Add migrations for additional fields from activerecord/schema.rb.

Use callbacks together with default _text methods to communicate subscription life cycle to your users. These are typically added by creating lib/models/team.rb.

class Team
  before_trial_expiring do
    inform!(text: trial_text)
  end

  after_subscribed do
    inform!(text: subscribed_text)
  end

  after_unsubscribed do
    inform!(text: unsubscribed_text)
  end

  after_subscription_expired do
    inform!(text: subscription_expired_text)
  end

  after_subscription_past_due do
    inform!(text: subscription_past_due_text)
  end

  private

  def slack_client
    @slack_client ||= Slack::Web::Client.new(token: token)
  end

  def slack_channels
    slack_client.channels_list(
      exclude_archived: true,
      exclude_members: true
    )['channels'].select do |channel|
      channel['is_member']
    end
  end

  def inform!(message)
    slack_channels.each do |channel|
      message_with_channel = message.merge(channel: channel['id'], as_user: true)
      slack_client.chat_postMessage(message_with_channel)
    end
  end
end

Your bot's help command should display trial text and a subscription link using team.trial_text.

This library adds the following public attributes to the Team class.

Stripe customer string ID.

Boolean whether the team is subscribed.

When set without a Stripe customer ID creates a perpetual subscription.

Timestamp for when a subscription has expired.

Timestamp for when the team was informed of a pending end of trial.

Timestamp for when the trial ends. Will raise an error if a team is subscribed.

The following public methods are added to Team.

A message about the remaining trial period. Will raise an error if a team is subscribed.

e.g. Your trial subscription expires in 3 days. Subscribe your team at https://example.com?team_id=id.

A message upon successful subscription.

e.g. Your team has been subscribed.

A message to use when unsubscribed.

e.g. Your team has been unsubscribed. Subscribe your team at https://example.com?team_id=id.

A message to use upon subscription expiration.

e.g. Your subscription has expired. Subscribe your team at https://example.com?team_id=id.

A message to use when paid subscription is past due.

e.g. Your subscription is past due. Update your credit card info at https://example.com?update_cc?team_id=id.

True if number of remaining trial days is zero. Will raise an error if a team is subscribed.

Number of days remaining in the trial. Will raise an error if a team is subscribed.

This extension adds the following API endpoints.
