👋

#

You can't modify a sub via a Checkout Session

#

I assume you don't want to collect the payment method up front here due to higher conversion?

patent crystal
#

correct

#

so we'd end up with a duplicate subscription and would have to cancel the other one

#

or have to skip passing line items and then modify the subscription, in which case the customer doesn't see how much they will be paying

#

The standard route here would be to just not use a Checkout Session for this

#

If you want, you could show the info about the upgrade in your own UI, use a Checkout Session in setup mode to collect the paymentmethod, and then update the Subscription.

#

Like you mentioned, they wouldn't see the Sub details in the Checkout Session

Thanks

#

The other thing you can do is use the Billing Portal to collect the payment method

#

Then they would see the Subscription details in the UI

#

But you would need to be specific about what they need to do on the Customer Portal Page (update Payment Method) since it won't force them to do that.

#

Thanks, I'll take a look at that.

#

We'd like to show tax information, which is why we don't want to show the prices in the UI

olive niche
#

Which UI?

patent crystal
#

As in, we don't want to show tax calculation in our own UI.

#

Since the customer enters the ZIP code in Stripe checkout, it would have to be shown in Stripe's UI.

#

I see.

#

That would require the customer indicating their ZIP to you though

#

But yeah I understand what you are saying
