Awesome! One less manual step to worry about.You don't need to manually turn it off/on. It will automatically hide itself from being a payment option if the subscription is outside the limits of Stripe.
This is great!Eventually this won't really matter though as we plan to change over to a token based billing implementation and entirely handle recurring billing with an internal scheduler so then any duration will become available, but it will be awhile before we redo all of that.
For now, we're limited by payment providers recurring limitations and it's a bit odd Stripe limits this to only 1 year, to be honest.

Seams to just be the trend. For example latest PayPal APIs has the exact same limits. There's fewer and fewer providers that will allow payments over 1 year. My best guess is it's some sort of liability/consumer protection thing. There's a few janky workarounds for this like abusing free trials or in the case of Stripe abusing subscription schedules, but it causes really weird billing behaviors. For example to get this to work with Stripe we'd have to do the following and for PayPal there flat out isn't a workaround.I agree, it is an odd restriction, as I can see other use cases besides the membership websites where the 1-year term limit is a deal-breaker.

Yup, they should be able to as long as it's not greater than 365 days.Correct me if I am wrong, but when the membership comes up for renewal next time, they can then choose the recurring option since by then it truly is a 1-year term.
