#

I can try, what's the context?

narrow hollow Dec 1, 2022, 9:47 AM

#

I am using API calls to create new invoices and so. But for some reason I can only pay with credit card

#

and I need to be able to pay with BACS

#

but it is not showing

#

I have already enable it on the payment methods inside settings

#

night tundra Dec 1, 2022, 9:52 AM

#

invoices use different settings unfortunately

#

https://dashboard.stripe.com/settings/billing/invoice

#

you have to enable the payment methods there

narrow hollow Dec 1, 2022, 9:53 AM

#

should I pass the payment_metod directly in the API instead?

#

i dont see BACS in the list

#

i am trying to enable this for people in the UK

night tundra Dec 1, 2022, 9:57 AM

#

yeah we might not support BACS in the hosted invoice page, let me look

#

yeah we don't, it's not listed on https://stripe.com/docs/invoicing/payment-methods as supported unfortunately

narrow hollow Dec 1, 2022, 9:59 AM

#

oh no

#

this is a huge problem

#

what are the alternatives?

night tundra Dec 1, 2022, 10:00 AM

#

not using Invoices and using Checkout or PaymentIntents; writing to https://support.stripe.com/?contact=true to raise the feedback

#

let me checking something though

#

for context are you using Subscriptions or creating the invoices as one-offs?

narrow hollow Dec 1, 2022, 10:07 AM

#

we have customers that one to pay 1 time for the whole year. Then I need to trigger a delayed subscription that will use the same payment method that the customer have store to charge every month

#

other customers will apply directly to a subscription.

night tundra Dec 1, 2022, 10:08 AM

#

hmm.

narrow hollow Dec 1, 2022, 10:09 AM

#

so i have both use cases

night tundra Dec 1, 2022, 10:09 AM

#

well we do support BACS for subscriptions (https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/bacs-debit), I just tried it there and it works and creates the first invoice of the subscription and pays it and stuff

narrow hollow Dec 1, 2022, 10:09 AM

#

ok

night tundra Dec 1, 2022, 10:09 AM

#

for whatever reason it's not supported for one-time invoices

narrow hollow Dec 1, 2022, 10:09 AM

#

I can fix that now and then I come come back to replace the invoice with a payment intent

#

can you help me to enable BACS properly on the subscriptions?

night tundra Dec 1, 2022, 10:10 AM

#

my suggestion would be to use Checkout, it supports ~all payment methods in both mode:payment for one time, and mode:subscription for recurring

night tundra Dec 1, 2022, 10:10 AM

#

narrow hollow can you help me to enable BACS properly on the subscriptions?

can try what part isn't working?

narrow hollow Dec 1, 2022, 10:10 AM

#

bacs is not showing up on the subscription invoice

night tundra Dec 1, 2022, 10:11 AM

#

yeah like I said I don't think it's supported as a payment method for an invoice

#

also do please share the invoice ID in_xxx so we can look

narrow hollow Dec 1, 2022, 10:12 AM

#

oh, ok. So, basically a subscription can also be an invoice

night tundra Dec 1, 2022, 10:12 AM

#

a subscription is just a process for creating invoices on a recurring basis yep

narrow hollow Dec 1, 2022, 10:12 AM

#

sorry, i dont have a financial background

#

got it

#

i will need to re do this

#

you are recommending me to create a payment intent instead right?

#

or checkout?

#

i just created a new product. Now I created a new price. Now I need to add the payment intent?

terse gust Dec 1, 2022, 10:23 AM

#

Hi! I'm taking over this thread.

narrow hollow Dec 1, 2022, 10:23 AM

#

Hi Soma, thank you

terse gust Dec 1, 2022, 10:23 AM

#

So your goal is to create a subscription that the customer will pay with BACS?

narrow hollow Dec 1, 2022, 10:24 AM

#

exactly

#

and the previous agent recommended to use Payment Intent

#

is this correct?

terse gust Dec 1, 2022, 10:26 AM

#

The simplest way is to create the subscription with a Checkout Session in subscription mode. You can learn more about how to do this here: https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/build-subscriptions

narrow hollow Dec 1, 2022, 10:26 AM

#

i dont need a webshop for this right?

terse gust Dec 1, 2022, 10:27 AM

#

If you want to have recurring payments with subscription, you shouldn't use PaymentIntents.

#

i dont need a webshop for this right?
What do you mean?

narrow hollow Dec 1, 2022, 10:27 AM

#

can i give you a little bit of context?

terse gust Dec 1, 2022, 10:27 AM

#

Sure!

narrow hollow Dec 1, 2022, 10:29 AM

#

We build fiber infrastructure to deliver internet. So, when a customer wants to buy fiber for their house, we go there, dig, install the fiber, connect the customer to the switch so that the internet providers can deliver internet to them over fiber.

#

The price for the installation is for example 20000 swedish kronors. So, some people wants to pay this at once, and some other people want to pay per month.

#

the ones that pay a 1 time 20.000 then we need to add a subscription at the end of the contract for a regular subscription

terse gust Dec 1, 2022, 10:34 AM

#

Yes, well with Stripe to can do one-time payments and subscription. Both are possible with BACS. To accept payments I recommend using Checkout Session (if you are a developer, using the link I shared above) or Payment Links (that can be created directly in the dashboard, learn more here: https://stripe.com/docs/payments/payment-links)

narrow hollow Dec 1, 2022, 10:40 AM

#

ok, but I need to create something that will last

#

so, payment links should be a solution

#

will this create a receipt and everything? is it attach to a customer?

terse gust Dec 1, 2022, 10:53 AM

#

will this create a receipt and everything?
There is a dashboard setting to send receipts https://dashboard.stripe.com/settings/emails

#

is it attach to a customer?
Payment Links will create new customer objects in Stripe

narrow hollow Dec 1, 2022, 10:58 AM

#

but I already know the customer. That is what I mean, I need to create a flow that is sustainable. It feels a bit unprofessional to just create payment links and then sending over email

terse gust Dec 1, 2022, 10:59 AM

#

If you already have a customer object in Stripe, then you should use Checkout Session, which requires some integration work but is more flexible.

narrow hollow Dec 1, 2022, 10:59 AM

#

ok

#

but it is not a simple API call right?

#

I know the product that they are paying for, I know the quantity and the amount and the payment method

#

the only thing I am missing is the bank/credit card information

terse gust Dec 1, 2022, 11:02 AM

#

but it is not a simple API call right?
Have you read the documentation I shared? It's an API call to create the Checkout Session, then it gives you a URL that you redirect your customers to, they fill their payment details and it whoudl work.
