PawaPay only supports mobile money payments and does not support card payments. Customer accounts cannot be automatically charged without user interaction. CrediBill tracks free trials and subscription expirations and notifies you via webhooks. Use the webhook event to terminate access to your app or service and render a resubscribe button — CrediBill will pick up from the resubscribe action to track the payment and restart the subscription for you.

​
1. Subscribe the customer

  • Go to the credibll dashboard and click Plans in the sidebar
  • Copy the plan id of the plan you want to subscribe the customer to. Ideally you should already have this as an env variable in your app
    • At least one created customer. This means a user to your app - A pawaPay account (live or sandbox) - Basic understanding of webhooks
  • Fetch the customer id programmatically from the database

​
2. Start subscription (Free Trial Scenario)

//subscribe-button.tsx
//Make sure the plan has a free trial in the credibill dashboard
import { Button } from "@components/ui/button";
import { useQuery } from "@tanstack/react-query";

export default function SubscribeButton() {
  const handleSubscription = () => {
    useQuery();
  };
  return (
    <div>
      <Button onClick={handleSubscription}> START FREE TRIAL </Button>
    </div>
  );
}

​
3. Start subscription (No Free Trial Scenario)

//subscribe-button.tsx
//Make sure the plan has no free trial in the credibill dashboard
import { Button } from "@components/ui/button"
import { useQuery } from "@tanstack/react-query"

export default SubscribeButton() {
    const handleSubscription = () => {
        useQuery()
    }
return(
    <div>
    <Button onClick={handleSubscription}> START FREE TRIAL </Button>
    </div>
)
}
