# Feature: Payments ## Overview Payment is taken at registration. When Stripe is **not** configured the platform falls back to **e-transfer** — a pending payment a studio admin marks received — so everything works without any credentials. When Stripe **is** configured the default rail becomes the **credit card**. The studio admin can override any student's method (card / e-transfer / comp). Single bookings are charged once; weekly reservations and group classes are charged the full term upfront (a `full_term` price once, or a per-lesson `one_time` price × the occurrences reserved — see `lesson-booking.md`). A numbered receipt is emailed automatically when a payment is marked paid. > **Implemented:** the payment ledger, studio settings, method resolution > (e-transfer default with no Stripe; card default when configured; per-student > override), the e-transfer/comp flow with admin confirmation + receipts, > integration into booking/enrolment (a registration's `payment_id` is linked; > comp auto-confirms; e-transfer stays pending until confirmed), and the **live > Stripe card charge** — a PaymentIntent created on `POST /payments/intent`, > confirmed in the browser with Stripe.js Payment Elements, and finalised by the > `POST /payments/webhook` handler (signature-verified) on > `payment_intent.succeeded`. Uses the `stripe/stripe-php` SDK. ## Stripe Configuration Stripe credentials live in WordPress options, managed on the **Studio Settings** page (`manage_billing`, studio admin only): | Option | Notes | |------------------------------|----------------------------------------| | `us_stripe_publishable_key` | Stripe publishable key | | `us_stripe_secret_key` | Stripe secret key | | `us_stripe_webhook_secret` | Webhook signing secret (`whsec_…`) | | `us_stripe_mode` | `test` or `live` | | `us_currency` | Default ISO 4217 currency, e.g. `CAD` | | `us_etransfer_email` | Studio-default e-transfer destination | | `us_hst_rate` | Default HST/tax percentage, e.g. `13` | ## HST / Tax A studio-default **HST rate** (percentage) is configured on **Studio Settings** (`us_hst_rate`, `manage_billing`). At booking the rate is **frozen onto the payment** (`us_payments.tax_rate`) and the tax is computed against the pre-tax subtotal (`tax_amount = round(amount × rate / 100, 2)`). The billed total is `amount + tax_amount` (`Payment::total()`). Comped registrations are never taxed (rate and amount are 0). The rate is overridable **per booking** on **My Lessons** (instructor) while the payment is still unpaid; saving recomputes `tax_amount` from the current subtotal (`PaymentRepository::updateTax`). Receipts break out subtotal, HST, and total when tax applies. ## Per-Student Billing Method Each student's billing method is stored in user meta `us_payment_method`, set by the studio admin (`Students → student detail → Billing method`). When unset, the studio default applies — `card` if Stripe is configured, otherwise `etransfer` (`BillingMethodResolver`): | Method | Behaviour | |------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------| | `card` | Charged immediately via Stripe; payment `paid` on success | | `etransfer`| Payment row created `pending`; admin marks it `paid` when funds arrive | | `comp` | No charge; registration is confirmed immediately, no payment row required | ## E-transfer Destination Email Where students send e-transfers is resolved and **frozen onto the payment** at booking time (`us_payments.etransfer_email`), so each record keeps the destination the student was given. Resolution at creation: 1. **Offering override** — `us_offerings.etransfer_email`, set by the instructor on the offering. 2. **Studio default** — the `us_etransfer_email` option (Studio Settings, `manage_billing`). After booking, the destination on a payment can be corrected per booking: - **My Lessons** — the instructor edits the e-transfer email for a pending lesson payment. - **Payments queue** — when marking an e-transfer received, the studio admin can update the email it was actually sent to before confirming. ## Data Model — `{prefix}us_payments` | Column | Type | Notes | |----------------------------|------------------|--------------------------------------------------------| | `id` | BIGINT UNSIGNED | Primary key | | `student_id` | BIGINT UNSIGNED | WordPress user ID | | `instructor_id` | BIGINT UNSIGNED | WordPress user ID (denormalised for reporting) | | `registration_type` | VARCHAR(20) | `lesson` or `enrollment` | | `registration_id` | BIGINT UNSIGNED | FK → `us_lessons.id` or `us_group_enrollments.id` | | `amount` | DECIMAL(10,2) | Charged amount in dollars (matches the offering price) | | `currency` | VARCHAR(3) | ISO 4217, e.g. `CAD` | | `method` | VARCHAR(20) | `card` / `etransfer` / `comp` | | `status` | VARCHAR(20) | `pending` / `paid` / `failed` / `refunded` | | `tax_rate` | DECIMAL(5,2) | HST rate % frozen at booking; editable until paid | | `tax_amount` | DECIMAL(10,2) | Computed tax in dollars (`amount × tax_rate / 100`) | | `due_date` | DATE | When a *scheduled* payment is due; NULL = due at registration (`Payment::isScheduled()`) | | `period_key` | VARCHAR(20) | Scheduled-billing dedup key: session date (weekly) or `YYYY-MM` (monthly); NULL otherwise | | `notice_batch` | VARCHAR(32) | Shared reference for the payments one due-notice email covers, so a lump-sum e-transfer reconciles to them; NULL otherwise | | `etransfer_email` | VARCHAR(191) | Frozen e-transfer destination; editable until confirmed | | `stripe_payment_intent_id` | VARCHAR(255) | Stripe PaymentIntent id; NULL for e-transfer / comp | | `receipt_number` | VARCHAR(50) | Sequential receipt id; set when `paid` | | `receipt_sent_at` | DATETIME | When the receipt email was sent; NULL until sent | | `created_at` | DATETIME | Insertion time | | `paid_at` | DATETIME | When marked `paid`; NULL otherwise | ## Price Display and the Pay Agreement Every price a student is shown on the front end carries its **cadence** — the offering's `billing_mode` in the words the student needs: | `billing_mode` | Shown as | Explained beneath as | |----------------|-----------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------| | `one_time` | `at booking` | Charged once, when you book. | | `full_term` | `up front` | Charged once, up front, for the whole term. | | `weekly` | `weekly` | Charged for each lesson, 24 hours before it starts. | | `monthly` | `per lesson monthly` / `monthly` | Charged on the 1st of each month, for that month's lessons.| So a lesson type reads `50.00 CAD at booking` in the booking form's type picker, and a group class card reads `120.00 CAD up front`. A free offering shows `Free`. **`monthly` reads differently per offering kind.** A private lesson's monthly charge is that month's lessons × the fee, so the fee is quoted **per lesson** (`50.00 CAD per lesson monthly`). A group class is enrolled in once, as one schedule, so its figure is quoted as it stands (`120.00 CAD monthly`) — see `isPerLessonMonthly()` in `assets/js/pricing.js`. > **Caveat.** `ScheduledBillingRunner::billGroupMonthly()` bills a monthly group > class `price × sessions in the month`, the same per-session multiplication used > for private lessons — so a class meeting weekly is charged roughly four times > the quoted `120.00 CAD monthly` figure. The display deliberately quotes the > price as a monthly figure; closing the gap means either billing a monthly group > class once per month regardless of session count, or restoring the per-lesson > wording for group classes too. Before a booking or enrolment can be submitted, the form shows the price again as a summary block with a **required agreement checkbox** — the second confirmation, distinct from the policy acceptances above it: > ☐ I agree to pay 56.50 CAD at booking. The agreed figure is the amount actually billed, so the studio **HST rate** is added to it (`usScheduler.taxRate`, localized from `us_hst_rate`) and broken out above the checkbox — matching the total `Payment::total()` charges. A comped student is not taxed and is not charged at all, so for them the quoted figure is an upper bound. A free offering has nothing to agree to and shows no block. Cadence-specific wording: - **Weekly reservation of a `one_time` lesson type** — the fee is charged once per week claimed, so the agreement states the per-lesson amount and the total as a ceiling ("up to 12 lessons, 678.00 CAD in total"). The occurrence count mirrors `BookingEndpoint::MAX_WEEKLY_OCCURRENCES`; a slot another student takes first is simply not claimed, so the real charge can come in under it. - **`weekly` / `monthly`** — nothing is taken at registration, so the agreement is to the recurring charge: "I agree to pay 56.50 CAD per lesson, billed monthly." A monthly **group class** agrees to its monthly figure instead ("I agree to pay 138.00 CAD monthly."), matching how its price is quoted on the card. All of this lives in `assets/js/pricing.js` (`window.usPricing`), shared by the booking and group-class flows so a price reads the same wherever it is met. The script is registered as `us-scheduler-pricing` and is a dependency of both `us-scheduler` and `us-scheduler-group`. ## Payment Flow 1. During registration the front-end calls `POST /payments/intent` — but only when the registration response carried a `payment` summary (unpriced registrations return `payment: null` and skip the payment step). The intent call creates a Stripe PaymentIntent for a `card` student and returns the client secret. (`etransfer` returns a `pending` payment; `comp` returns none.) 2. The browser confirms the card payment with Stripe. 3. Stripe calls `POST /payments/webhook`; on `payment_intent.succeeded` the payment is marked `paid`, `paid_at` is stamped, and the linked lesson/enrolment is `confirmed`. 4. On transition to `paid`, `ReceiptMailer` assigns a `receipt_number`, emails the student a receipt, and stamps `receipt_sent_at`. 5. For an e-transfer, the studio admin later calls `PATCH /payments/{id}` to mark it `paid`, which triggers the same confirmation + receipt. ## Scheduled Billing (weekly / monthly) `weekly` and `monthly` offerings are **not** charged at registration. The booking / enrolment succeeds with `payment: null`; the lesson is confirmed (or the enrolment stays active) immediately, and payments are generated later by the daily `us_generate_due_payments` cron scan (`Payment\ScheduledBillingRunner`). Each generated payment carries a `due_date` and `period_key`, flows through the same `PaymentService::createForRegistration` (so HST, method resolution, e-transfer freezing and comp auto-pay are identical), and the student is emailed one consolidated itemised notice per scan (`Payment\PaymentDueMailer`). Because these payments are scheduled, `PaymentService::voidPending` never voids them — cancelling one lesson leaves a shared monthly charge (and every other lesson it covers) untouched, and never rebills. Full model, dedup, and the four generation cases are documented in `scheduled-billing.md`. Cancelling a lesson that was **already paid** issues the student an account credit for that lesson's share of what they paid; the next daily scan applies any available credit against their due charges (reducing `us_payments.credit_applied` → `Payment::netDue()`) before emailing the notice. See `credits.md`. ## REST API | Method | Endpoint | Permission | |---------|---------------------------------------------|-----------------------------| | `POST` | `/wp-json/us-scheduler/v1/payments/intent` | `book_lesson` | | `POST` | `/wp-json/us-scheduler/v1/payments/webhook` | Public (Stripe signature verified) | | `PATCH` | `/wp-json/us-scheduler/v1/payments/{id}` | `manage_billing` | See `payment-reporting.md` for the monthly report and CSV export endpoints. ## Implementation - Repository: `Unsupervised\Schedular\Payment\PaymentRepository` - Model: `Unsupervised\Schedular\Payment\Payment` - Stripe gateway: `Unsupervised\Schedular\Payment\StripeGateway` - Receipts: `Unsupervised\Schedular\Payment\ReceiptMailer` - Settings page: `Unsupervised\Schedular\Payment\StudioSettings` - REST endpoint: `Unsupervised\Schedular\Payment\PaymentEndpoint` - Front-end price display + pay agreement: `assets/js/pricing.js` (`window.usPricing`), registered and localized with `taxRate` by `Unsupervised\Schedular\ShortcodeRegistrar` ## Tests - `tests/Unit/ShortcodeRegistrarTest.php` (pricing helper registration + localized `taxRate`) - `tests/Unit/Payment/PaymentRepositoryTest.php` - `tests/Unit/Payment/PaymentTest.php` - `tests/Unit/Payment/StripeGatewayTest.php` - `tests/Unit/Payment/ReceiptMailerTest.php`
