Select price from Stripe
When you set up a new subscription or payment plan, Checkout Page automatically creates a new price for you on Stripe. This price mirrors the settings from Checkout Page and bills your customers accordingly.
If you are an existing Stripe user and have already set up a number of products on Stripe, you can easily reuse one of your existing payment plans or subscriptions by selecting a price from Stripe.
This way you can keep your Stripe account organized, subscribing your customers to the same plan you have already been using and reuse the same price across multiple checkouts.

Subscription management for customers
Your customers can manage their subscriptions in your customer portal.
They receive a link to your portal in the payment confirmation email.
To see the link to your customer portal, open Settings from your dashboard and click on the Customer portal.
A customer can access your customer portal by filling in their email address. They will then receive an email with a link that provides access to the portal for 20 minutes.
