👋 Thanks for reaching out
Depending on your subscription configuration, but yeah Stripe can just do an authorization on your PaymentMethod if there is no charges to be billed for the customer

[exotic wharf]

Where can I find some docs about that config ?

hi @stiff fable ! Nice to meet you

[split gazelle]

The subscription will likely create and return a Setup Intent if there's no immediate payment available (which is the case for metered billing)

That should be confirmed on your client/front-end using the collecting payment details, and we'll carry out 3DS/auth if requested

[exotic wharf]

SO , the 3DS step will be done during the setup intent ?

[split gazelle]

During the confirmation of the Setup Intent, yes. This part: https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/build-subscriptions?ui=elements#complete-payment

That example uses a Payment Intent, but its mostly interchangeable

[exotic wharf]

ok; we have a return url , perfect.

Other question if I may.

[split gazelle]

sure!

[exotic wharf]

As I said we will use subscription based on usage.

What we plan to do is to wait 30 mins before the billing period ends. and SET the usage.

This will simply our internal flows.

Do you think it's a good way to implement ?

[split gazelle]

I don't think that'll work: https://stripe.com/docs/products-prices/pricing-models#reporting-usage:~:text=Reporting usage outside the current billing interval results in an error. Stripe leaves a 5 minute window in the default aggregation mode (aggregate_usage%3Dsum) after the period ends to allow for clock drift. For all other aggregation modes the timestamp must be within the current period.

[exotic wharf]

yes, I want to SET the usage within the billing interval

but just before it ends.

you see what i mean ?

[split gazelle]

Sorry, misread what you stated. Yep should be fine!

[exotic wharf]

ok; great.

thanks
