It seems the mode should be kept at payment because the customer is purchasing a "product" which "is a subscription", correct?

Hi, for subscriptions, you'd want "mode" => "subscription" in this case, https://stripe.com/docs/api/checkout/sessions/create#create_checkout_session-mode
mighty basin
but why would I create the subscription product in stripe dashboard then?
it seems if I create a subscription product in the Stripe dashboard, then the user is actually PURCHASING a "subscription product". Which the Stripe would recur that payment every billing cycle, no?
blissful frost
When you create a Subscription, https://stripe.com/docs/api/checkout/sessions/create it's required that you specify the mode for the Checkout Session.
mighty basin
ok, so when I follow that doc and set "mode" => "subscription" it has failed
blissful frost
The product/price that you've created on the Dashboard can be used, https://stripe.com/docs/api/checkout/sessions/create#create_checkout_session-line_items-price.
Can you share the request id for when the request fails? Here's how you can find a request ID: https://support.stripe.com/questions/finding-the-id-for-an-api-request
mighty basin
don't have it
I guess I'll try switching the mode again
see if it fails again and get request
this is my code:
require_once('vendor/autoload.php');
require_once('include/Common.inc.php');
extract($_POST);
/*
echo '<pre>'.var_dump($_POST).'</pre>';
exit;
*/
\Stripe\Stripe::setApiKey(STRIPE_SECRET_KEY);
header('Content-Type: application/json');
$checkout_session = \Stripe\Checkout\Session::create([
'payment_method_types' => ['card'],
'line_items' => [[
'price_data' => [
'product_data' => [
'name' => $subscription_name
],
'currency' => 'usd',
'unit_amount' => $subscription_price
],
'quantity' => 1
]],
'mode' => 'subscription',
'success_url' => BASE_URL.'/checkout-complete.php',
'cancel_url' => BASE_URL.'/checkout-cancelled.php'
]);
header("HTTP/1.1 303 See Other");
header("Location: " . $checkout_session->url);
You can share any object id that is failing so I can further review this on my end
mighty basin
yes it fails again
blissful frost
What is the error?
mighty basin
This page isn’t workingstaging.lacgroup.com is currently unable to handle this request.
HTTP ERROR 500```Can you share the checkout session id?
mighty basin
hmm, no
must be something wrong in script, like a typo, does that script look right?
this script works fine with mode => payment
it needs a price_id
"mode" => "subscription" needs a "price_id" parameter
blissful frost
Yes, this is the documentation you'd be looking at: https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/build-subscriptions
mighty basin
thanks
