Flexible Billing: Online & Manual Payments
February 11, 2026
Choose how you collect payments — online via Stripe or manual tracking. Each billing plan can be independently configured.
## Flexible Payment Options
MyDojang now supports **hybrid billing** — you can choose how to collect payments on a per-plan basis. Each billing plan can be configured as either **ONLINE** (automated Stripe payments) or **MANUAL** (studio-tracked payments).
## Online Plans (Stripe)
When you create or edit a billing plan and set the billing mode to **ONLINE**:
- The plan automatically syncs to Stripe as a product + price
- Parents can enroll via a Stripe Checkout Session with credit card payment
- Subscriptions are managed automatically through Stripe
- Payment status, renewals, and cancellations are handled for you
## Manual Plans
For studios that collect payments via cash, check, or other methods, set the billing mode to **MANUAL**:
- No Stripe sync — the plan exists only in MyDojang
- Studio owners track payment status manually (Active, Pending Payment, Past Due, etc.)
- Payment method and notes fields let you record how each student pays
- Full control over billing status without payment processing fees
## What's Next
Platform fee support is coming soon, allowing MyDojang to apply a small percentage fee to online transactions. This will enable the platform to scale sustainably while keeping costs transparent for studio owners.
