I have a credit based system and I'd like the user to be able to store their card as they would with a subscription and select how many credits they'd like to purchase, hit a button, confirm, and bill their card for that amount.
I used to be able to do this with Auth::user()->charge(500).
From the docs im looking at, it looks like stripe requires the user to input their card details every time, they give you a token, and you pass that token with their charge.
Any solutions to store the card on file and bill the user the requested amount?

Storing card and card related information will be dangerous. It's advisable not to store data on your side.

went with Auth::user()->invoiceFor('One Time Fee', $amount) which uses only the info stored with spark as a default.
@mfrancik in that case, you can try the recurring payment option, if the payment gateway support that.
