👋 happy to help
you can create custom prices on the go using price_data https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscriptions/create#create_subscription-items-price_data but you need to have the product created first
you could create the product using the API instead of going through the dashboard

Thanks, so without a product it's not possible?
We are selling digital products and dependent on the payment interval it can have different prices. But when I create a product in the dashboard I have to select the payment interval (monthly/yearly etc.). How would I ideally create that product?

correct

For example: do I have to add the product multiple times for multiple intervals? Like "Product XYZ weekly", "Product XYZ monthly" and so on?
charred fulcrum
the payment intervals are for prices and not products
you can have a product with multiple prices
each price having a different interval

Ah okay thanks
So I would select "client based pricing" here (https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/products/create)?
And then add the individual price via the api?

Thanks, I saw that. But we wanted to define and maintain the prices of our products on our side and not in the stripe dashboard.
charred fulcrum
in that case you can just create a product
without a price
and then use price_data as described above

Okay thank you, understood
So, no way to create subscriptions without products, right?
charred fulcrum
yes
next skiff
It worked, thanks for your help
One last question: is there a way to verify that the subscription has been created successfully in the dashboard?
I created this one (https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/payments/pi_3Lx8yAClDK2O5WMj0Q0sUarv) but I cannot see if it's monthly, yearly etc. or what the product is
