thanks, Tarzan is a fantasy character right?
ocean plinth
what is you use case?
worldly oar
we have a SaaS solution and we want to add subscription mechanism for our customers
our customers registers to the platform and they can start using the platform with basic features at the beginning.
we want to integrate Stripe in our to get payments and manage subscriptions
we have a backend API and a React client app
I started implementing PAymentIntents and showed ElementsForm in UI but could not mange to get the payment
it is quite a basic use case I believe
we dont want customers to login Stripe portal for anything, we want to manage everything through our platform. Except the hosted payment page
Can yo lead me to the right docs I need to follow?
ocean plinth
yes sure, since you're using subscriptions
worldly oar
this was the one I was following -> https://stripe.com/docs/payments/quickstart
ocean plinth
it's better to start reading this https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/build-subscriptions
worldly oar
what does this mean? -> Add a customer portal session to your site, including a button and redirect
we dont want customer to leave our platform for anything.
same applies for this item : Let customers manage their subscription through the portal
this makes our customer to leave our platform righT?
ocean plinth
yes but Customer Portal Session is one feature for billing
but you can build subscriptions using Elements
worldly oar
I dont get it, Customer Portal session is the only feature for billing?
and if I want to use elements, which is my current implementation so far, I want to attach the payment information to the customer for further subscription charges.
worldly oar
we dont want to use customer portal session feature, Can you lead me to the correct docs if I want to implement elementt?
ocean plinth
