#redtopia - subscriptions
slow glade
To clarify, are you using Stripe Subscriptions?
Or are you just using PaymentIntents and making your own Subscription system?
weak dragon
no, it's an internal subscription system

So I think you could use test clocks with this: https://stripe.com/docs/billing/testing/test-clocks
Basically set the expiration date of the card in between the first payment and second
weak dragon
I have it all working using payment intents but I need to emulate a failure on an auto renewal
weak dragon
yes, I need it to fail due to a payment method failure
so looks like test clocks are used to test stripe subscriptions... not what I need, correct?
I know I can create a payment method that expires tomorrow, and then wait until tomorrow to run a test, but what I want to do is maybe borrow a payment method ID that I could use to create a payment intent object that will fail when created. I'm using off_session payment intents for this.

We have these test cards: https://stripe.com/docs/testing#declined-payments
weak dragon
and just so you know, I need it to fail due to a payment method failure so that I know whether or not to expire the subscription
I wonder if the card labeled "Decline after attaching" would work
slow glade
You could use any of the declined payments cards to simulate a decline
weak dragon
the problem is that I need to setup the first payment using a card that works
I cannot do that when I use a test card that will be declined.

this is the test card you want, that test card can be attached but it will decline for a payment
weak dragon
yea, that's what I have my eye on... I'm going to give that a try
thanks... can I resume this thread if I run into any issues?
weak dragon
looks like I'm having an issue using that card. When I change the payment method for a subscription, I am using the setupIntent api. In doing so, I thought that I am attaching the customer ID to that card. However, when I try to subsequently create a paymentIntent object to charge the card, I get the error that the customer isn't attached to that card.
oh wait... forget it... I think I see an error in my code. I could be grabbing the wrong customer
