======
Recurring Subscriptions
-----------------------
`draft` `optional` `author:pablof7z`
This NIP defines a way for a pubkey to create recurring subscription payments to another pubkey.
## Tier Event
A pubkey can create "tiers". These tiers might provide certain benefits to the supporters who subscribe to these.
```json
{
"kind": 7002,
"content": "<description of the tier>",
"tags": [
[ "title", "..." ],
[ "amount", "<amount-in-base-unit>", "currency", "<cadence>" ]
]
}
```
This event is generated by a pubkey who wants to allow users to support with different tiers.
`.content` SHOULD be a description of what users who subscribe can expect.
Tag `title` is an optional title for the tier.
Tag `amount` MUST specify the payment required for this tier and its cadence.
* The first argument should be the stringified amount and the second argument the currency
* The third argument SHOULD be one of `daily`, `monthly`, `yearly`
One or more `amount` tags MUST exist.
#### Examples
* `[ "amount", "100", "usd", "daily" ]`, $1.00 a day.
* `[ "amount", "1000000", "btc", "daily" ]`, 1000000 millisats a day.
## Subscribe Event
```json
{
"kind": 7001,
"content": "<optional-message>",
"tags": [
[ "p", "<recipient-pubkey>" ],
[ "e", "<supporting-tier-id>" ],
[ "amount", "<amount-in-base-unit>", "currency", "<cadence>" ]
]
}
```
When a user wants to subscribe to support a user they create a `kind:7001` event.
* `.content` is an optional message the supporter can write.
* The `p` tag MUST tag the pubkey being supported.
* The `e` tag is optional, and should point to a `kind:7001` support tier event. There MUST be exactly 0 or 1 `e` tags.
* The `amount` tag specifies what the supporters is committing to pay to the supported pubkey and the candence.
The `kind:7001` event can be created without an `e` tag so that users can create recurring support events without the pubkey receiving the support having explicitly created a support tier.
## Paying
The supporting user should create a zap p-tagging the receiver and e-tagging the `kind:7001`. There MUST be a single `p` and a single `e` tag in the zap request.
```json
{
"kind": 9734,
"content": "",
"tags": [
[ "p", "<recipient-pubkey>" ],
[ "e", "<kind-7001-event-id>" ]
]
```
Clients supporting this NIP can check for zaps e-tagging the `kind:7001` event to find the pubkeys that have a valid, paid subscriptions at each different period.
The same `kind:7001` is re-zapped on a regular basis per the cadence specified in the event.
## Stopping a subscription
A user who wants to stop a subscription by publishing a `kind:5` deletion request of the `kind:7001` event.
