👋 happy to help

ie. we want to show our users information about their plan, with monthly price for all subscription items, even if they're on a grandfathered plan. should we fetch the subscription on demand from stripe, or store the actual prices in our database so we can look it up by the price ID?

[jagged sigil]

I would recommend fetching the data from Stripe directly, having to sync (no matter what the 2 systems are) is always a hard thing to do and so many edge cases to take care of

but that been said we have a firebase extension that does that

[untold geode]

right! that confirms my gut feeling

[jagged sigil]

I mean that it is doable

I'm not suggesting you use it

[untold geode]

when fetching the subscription, the returned data contains the prices, but without the product name (https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscriptions/retrieve)

is there a way to expand the query to also include information about the product?

or should we do another API request for each product: "prod_id" ?

[jagged sigil]

yes you can expand on product
