# Batch multiple transactions from one customer into a single charge

You can batch multiple transactions from a single customer together to avoid paying the [Stripe fee](https://stripe.com/pricing) on each charge. To do this, you first need to [save](/questions/can-i-save-a-card-and-charge-it-later) the customer’s payment information. Then you can either:
* Bundle the payments locally and create a charge automatically through your own system,
  or
* Subscribe your customer to a $0/month plan and [create an invoice item](https://stripe.com/docs/api#create_invoiceitem) for each small payment. By default, Stripe will pay the invoice automatically with each billing cycle.
  * Alternatively, you can [create the invoice](https://stripe.com/docs/api#create_invoice) immediately and [pay it](https://stripe.com/docs/api#pay_invoice).
