Great! You will need to add some card details in the panel at:
https://panel.bitfolk.com/account/billing/
Though unless you let me know off-list that you are willing to have
an early renewal, nothing further will happen until it's your renewal
time.

We do already have one-off card payments since 2013; they just
redirect to Stripe's Checkout.js to do everything. Probably some of
them have had postcode check failures and I just haven't noticed.
I might have to care more about that for offline charging as if one
of those charges fails we have to contact the customer and get them
to re-submit the details etc. which is a bit of a hassle. Might end
up having to be strict about it at the point of card addition. And
if so, would rather that Stripe handled that if possible.
As it is this implementation won't use subscriptions, only a
SetupIntent for arbitrary future charges.

Not sure if that will apply to arbitrary charges outside of a
subscription. I set the PaymentIntent to require immediate
confirmation so it will be interesting to see what kinds of failure
codes are returned (I have tested the usual declined codes using the
test card numbers).

Yep, thanks!
