Hi Gabe, I'm a software developer that happens to own a small coworking space called Cowork MYR. For the past 18 months, we've been running on an app I developed to manage our members and billing. In my spare coding time I've packaged up this code into what we call Lemyr (http://lemyr.co/). We have intentions of open sourcing the main core and offer hosted versions and customization services. I'm just so busy with contract work that it's been difficult to get to that point!
Anyway, we use Stripe's subscription plan service which has been great to get up and running quickly. But it has been on the feature map to remove the hard dependency on Stripe and decouple the pro-rating and invoicing from the payment gateway so we can be multi-gateway friendly (which sounds *exactly* what Chargebee is doing!). The only real problems we've run into with Stripe's stuff is the inability to specify and arbitrary billing date (eg; all members get invoiced on the 3rd of every month) and their pro-rating is a little hard to follow when members change from one plan to another. We trap all of Stripe's webhook events so we can generate whatever reports someone might need from the Lemyr dashboard. So far the only report request we've had has been for monthly credits and refunds. The key seems to be making sure the transaction can be resolved to an actual member quickly and easily. That's my experience so far, at least.
