hi! well webhooks are mandatory when using Stripe really

#

but yeah there's not really any recommended integration with server-side confirmation for Subscriptions I think. There is a beta for https://stripe.com/docs/payments/finalize-payments-on-the-server which would work with PaymentIntents from subscriptions as well, but it still requires webhooks. Webhooks are not optional really when using Stripe.

#

if you're not going to use webhooks then you at least need to e.g. poll each day for any missed subscriptions in a daily job that calls the API and compares to your database, as one option that is less-good but could help

Alright, thank you very much for the helpful response! The server-side confirmation works perfectly with just the Payment Intents API actually, we used it before. Is it actually possible to set the capture_method of a subscription-created Payment Intent?

But I guess to be sure, for subscriptions we'll have to start with handling webhooks for the orders as well

it's not, but you probably mean confirmation_method , but the answer is the same, no, it's always automatic for subscription invoices and you get an error if you try to change it

Alright, then webhooks are the way to go. Thanks!
