You'd pass proration_behaviour when making the update: https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/prorations

The way it works is we credit for unused time on the old plan, and bill for a prorated amount on the new plan according to the remaining time

Got it

Do I need to render payment element at the time to upgrade the subscription?

[rustic willow]

👋 taking over for my colleague. Let me catch up.

[rustic willow]

unless the Payment fails and requires_action no you don't need to

but this is also subject to having a default payment method, either on the subscription or on the customer's invoice_settings.default_payment_method

[icy rune]

Ok, If the payment fails from any reason, then I have to update the card details from the customer right?

unless the payment will be deducted from the default payment method everytime

?

@rustic willow

[rustic willow]

you have 2 options

either send them to the Customer Portal to collect a new payment method

https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/integrating-customer-portal

or build your own page where you use Stripe Elements with the PI from that invoice

you can find it either directly on the invoice payment_intent.client_secret

or on the Subscription latest_invoice.payment_intent.client_secret

you might need to expand in each case to get to the client_secret

What is this parameter?

[rustic willow]

What is this parameter?
do you mean the Charge id?

[icy rune]

yes, i don't have charge ID

so how can I get the client secret

[icy rune]

Because I don't want to use it

I need my own page

[rustic willow]

ok

PaymentIntents are built on top of the Charges API

so basically each PI would have at least one if not multiple Charges

[icy rune]

How I can get the card details so when any customer want to upgrade their subscription we can show their card details before the upgradation.

[rustic willow]

that's not possible

and it's not PCI compliant

once the User passes the Card info we tokenize it and we don't store the info as is

Hi there 👋 jumping in so my teammate can take a break. If you're referring to viewing the information regarding a Customer's existing Payment Method, then you can retrieve the associated Payment Method object and review the available information for it. If you're working card payment methods, then the card hash is probably going to be what you're looking for.
