thanks for the tip! I've been shying away from projects that involve payment because I was under the impression it would be really complex.

Stripe has figured out how to take care of just about all the complexity, including actually handling credit cards so that you don't have to store any CC data yourself (whew!). If you have a subscription service, you define the plans with them and they take care of the recurring charges. They even handle coupons.
