hello!
indigo aurora
Can you explain a bit more exactly what you mean by that?
cerulean gorge
we sell experiences (like travels)
and right now we use woocommerce and we have a logic of:
Product 1, real price: 699, departure date 1/12/22
if you reserve a slot from 27/10 to 01/11 you pay 399
if you reserve a slot from 02/11 to 15/11 you pay 499
the close you get to the trip more you get close to the retail price.
indigo aurora
Ah I see
indigo aurora
So mostly this is something that you would control yourself
indigo aurora
What Stripe integration are you going to use?
This is easily possible, you just have to track those time periods yourself and then use the correct amount/Price for your customer during their checkout
cerulean gorge
right now, my idea would be to use stripe products + prices and a custom checkout flow because i got to collect a fixed pro rata of e,g 100euro and collect what's left
just before the departure
i don't know if it make sense
i'm still investigating
indigo aurora
Hmm you can't really use Products + Prices with custom checkout flow unless you plan on using Subscriptions or Invoices
Products+Prices aren't supported currently for one-off PaymentIntents
So you either want to use our hosted Stripe Checkout, or you would just handle the Product+Price info in your own database and then just set the amount correspondingly if you are going to use a custom flow.
indigo aurora
Yep
cerulean gorge
but like this i lose all the coupon logic
indigo aurora
Similarly you would track coupon logic on your end with this custom flow.
And adjust the amount of the PaymentIntent to correspond with whether a coupon was applied or not.
cerulean gorge
ye sure
so for the subscriptions: there is a way to achieve subs with a custm checkout?
indigo aurora
Yep
You can use Subs with a custom flow
Or you can use them with Stripe Checkout
Both are supported for Subs
cerulean gorge
products+prices can be used only with
indigo aurora
cerulean gorge
stripe hosted checkout then
indigo aurora
For one-off payments, yes. Unless you use Invoices.
You can use Invoices without Subs to just do one-off payments if you want.
cerulean gorge
ok, if I use the invoice API
can i manage somehow the prorata thing?
or maybe it's just more complex
because my user to reserve a spot the only thing we ask them
is a % of the total
indigo aurora
By prorata you are indicating you want to take $100 up front?
I see
Yeah if you were going to solely rely on Invoices API here then it would require two invoices in that case.
cerulean gorge
user reserves a spot by paying 100 euro > the werek before departure they pay what's left
indigo aurora
Or you could do the up-front charge as a one-off PaymentIntent where you also collect the payment method then use an Invoice for the later payment and charge the saved payment method for that
Overall, your use-case doesn't really sound like it warrants Invoices.
I'd recommend just using PaymentIntents
cerulean gorge
ye
i think it's more versatile than trying to make it work with products/prices just for the sake of coupons
indigo aurora
Yeah I agree
