marekka-checkout subscription trial_end

[magic flame]

👋 happy to help

actually there is https://stripe.com/docs/api/checkout/sessions/create#create_checkout_session-subscription_data-trial_end

[vestal talon]

This was what I thought but I'm geting "Received unknown parameter: trial_period_days"

[magic flame]

could you please share the request id? here's how you can find it https://support.stripe.com/questions/finding-the-id-for-an-api-request

[vestal talon]

req_yAwio6xNyMVRVB

[magic flame]

this is not the parameter I sent you, trial_period_days is not a parameter of Checkout Session

you should instead use subscription_data.trial_end

[vestal talon]

OK< let me try

[vestal talon]

Fatal error: Uncaught (Status 400) (Request req_es63lm7NyPuml8) Received unknown parameter: trial_end

Hi! I'm taking over this thread.

Looks like there's an issue with your code.
It's not trial_end: 1234, instead it's: subscription_data: { trial_end: 1234 }
https://stripe.com/docs/api/checkout/sessions/create#create_checkout_session-subscription_data-trial_end

[vestal talon]

THink I found it - I need to use subscription_data array to pass trial_end 😉

[scarlet wolf]

Yes 🙂

Happy to help 🙂

May I ask how to force business to move away from Payment Sense and Start using Stripe 🙂 ?

[scarlet wolf]

What do you mean? I don't know what Payment Sense is.

[vestal talon]

OK< nevermind 😉

Do I need to use Session to take user's away to Stipe to create Subscription?
Can't I just use Credit Card onsite widget?

[scarlet wolf]

There are two main ways to create subscriptions:

• With Checkout Sessions (recommended), this is covered here: https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/build-subscriptions?ui=checkout
• With Payment Element on your own website, this is covered here: https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/build-subscriptions?ui=elements

[vestal talon]

Why Checkout Sessions is recommended?

[scarlet wolf]

Mainly because it's much easier to implement, and also Stripe spend a lot of time optimising this page for the best possible conversion.
