# 🎉 Stripe Recurring Payment System - Complete Implementation

## Summary

The True Trucker platform now has a fully functional **Stripe recurring payment system** that charges companies monthly or weekly based on:
- **Base package price** (e.g., $30/month)
- **Per-driver charges** (e.g., $10 per driver/month)
- **Automatic billing** based on current driver count

### Total Formula
```
Monthly Charge = Base Price + (Active Drivers × Price Per Driver)
```

## 🚀 Quick Start (5 Minutes)

### 1. Add Stripe Keys to `.env`
```env
STRIPE_PUBLIC_KEY=pk_test_your_key_here
STRIPE_SECRET_KEY=sk_test_your_secret_key_here
STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRET=whsec_your_webhook_secret
```

### 2. Create Stripe Payment Method (Admin)
- Go to `/admin/payment-methods`
- Add Stripe with your API key
- Click "Test" to verify

### 3. Create Driver Package (Admin)
- Go to `/admin/packages`
- Set pricing:
  - Base Price: $50
  - Price Per Driver: $15
  - Billing Cycle: monthly
- Save

### 4. Test User Subscription
- Login as owner
- Go to `/subscriptions/select-package`
- Select your package
- Use Stripe test card: `4242 4242 4242 4242`

### 5. Monitor Billing
```bash
# Manually run billing (normally runs daily at 2 AM):
php artisan billing:process-recurring-payments

# Check payment status in admin:
# /admin/payments
```

## 💰 Billing Examples

### Example 1: Startup Package with 3 Drivers
- Base Price: $30/month
- Price Per Driver: $10/month
- Active Drivers: 3
- **Monthly Charge: $30 + (3 × $10) = $60**

### Example 2: Enterprise Package with 15 Drivers
- Base Price: $100/month
- Price Per Driver: $8/month
- Active Drivers: 15
- **Monthly Charge: $100 + (15 × $8) = $220**

### Example 3: Mid-Cycle Driver Addition (Pro-ration)
- Add 2 drivers on day 15 of 30-day cycle
- Additional charge = (2 drivers × $10) × (15 days remaining / 30 days) = **$10**
- Applied to next billing cycle

## 🔄 How It Works

```
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│  USER FLOW                                                   │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

1. User Subscribes to Package
   ↓
2. System Creates Stripe Customer & Subscription
   ↓
3. First Payment Processes (via Stripe)
   ↓
4. Webhook Confirms Payment → Subscription Activated
   ↓
5. Daily Automation:
   - Check for driver count changes
   - Process payments due today
   - Update Stripe metadata
   ↓
6. Monthly Charging:
   - Calculate: base_price + (drivers × price_per_driver)
   - Create invoice in Stripe
   - Webhook confirms → Update status
   ↓
7. Driver Changes Mid-Cycle:
   - Detect: driver count increased
   - Calculate pro-ration: (new_drivers - old_drivers) × daily_rate
   - Apply to next billing cycle
```

## 🐛 Troubleshooting

**"Stripe API key not configured"**
- Check `.env` has STRIPE_SECRET_KEY
- Verify payment method credentials in admin

**"Driver limit reached" (422 error)**
- This is expected! Feature is working
- User needs to upgrade package or remove drivers

**"Webhook not received"**
- Verify webhook URL in Stripe dashboard
- Check signing secret in `.env`
- Test with Stripe CLI: `stripe trigger invoice.payment_succeeded`

**"Billing not running"**
- Check scheduler: `php artisan schedule:list`
