Is there a requirement from your integration to create a Setup Intent and a Subscription? Generally the Subscription is sufficient as it'll handle the same flow as the Setup Intent.

#

actually , i try to create subscription with customer_id first
but i can't find set_up_intent_id from subscription which i can provide to client side

gritty saddle Dec 7, 2022, 1:36 PM

#

Can you share the sub_xxx ID?

#

Assuming there's no immediate payment, there'd be a pending_setup_intent field. Otherwise if there is a payment due, you'd want latest_invoice.payment_intent.

request_id : req_rh0yGnlAULquzb
Subscription_id : sub_1MCNVnFk2q6OMRMH19pPDNrv

gritty saddle Assuming there's no immediate payment, there'd be a `pending_setup_intent` field...

yes,..it will be pending_setup_intent
but it is also null

gritty saddle Dec 7, 2022, 1:38 PM

#

That's because there an initial invoice generated with an immediate payment due: https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/invoices/in_1MCNVnFk2q6OMRMHM2c7npiX

#

You should look for the latest_invoice.payment_intent field when you create the Subscription

#

There's no specific guide for Android SDK and subscriptions. You should follow this: https://stripe.com/docs/payments/accept-a-payment?platform=android&ui=payment-sheet#android-collect-payment-details

i can't understand

gritty saddle Dec 7, 2022, 1:41 PM

#

Instead of creating a Payment Intent directly, create the Subscription and use the returned payment_intent field on the invoice

glass star Dec 7, 2022, 1:41 PM

#

but i am not creating paymentIntent
when i am creting subscription

gritty saddle Dec 7, 2022, 1:43 PM

#

Exactly, as stated. You need to substitute the Payment Intent creation for a Subscription creation. Unfortunately we don't have any documentation specifically for Android subscriptions

glass star Dec 7, 2022, 1:44 PM

#

what i have to do is ,

as suggest in above document

send setUpIntent_client_secret to client side and some other value like
EphemeralKey
so,..they can open stripeUI and enter card_details and from server side i can complete a subscription with paymentMethodId

gritty saddle Dec 7, 2022, 1:48 PM

#

Yes, except your subscription won't generate a Setup Intent idea (as there's a payment due immediately)

#

So instead of looking for pending_setup_intent returned on the subscription object, you'd want the latest_invoice.payment_intent field

glass star Dec 7, 2022, 1:52 PM

#

how can i prevent this
because on client_side , it need setUPIntent_client_secret

gritty saddle Dec 7, 2022, 1:53 PM

#

You can't. If the subscription parameters dictate that the initial invoice requires payment then a Payment Intent will be generated. You'd adjust your client/Android code to handle a Payment Intent client_secret instead

glass star Dec 7, 2022, 1:56 PM

#

but, why they suggest to use this flow for recurring payment than ?

#

it should be some way

#

as per this when i can create subscription ?

#

when i receive payment_method_id from webhook
that time crete a subscription ?

Who is they?

glass star Dec 7, 2022, 2:00 PM

#

sometime ago , i asked from stripe
regrading some documentation for subscription in stripe

#

in which scenario pending_setup_intent will be not null
in subscription ?

mint flower Dec 7, 2022, 2:03 PM

#

Hello 👋

#

Taking over as ynnoj needs to step away soon

#

If you have a trial period in your subscription then the first invoice of the subscription will be of 0 amount. In which case, pending_setup_intent will have an actual SetupIntent that you can use to save the payment method which then will be charged for subsequent invoices

glass star Dec 7, 2022, 2:09 PM

#

but, i can do something like

when setupIntent is confirm from client side
i can receive info in webhook (which webhook i have to use?)

and after that create subscription, with payment-method directly and charge invoice ?

mint flower Dec 7, 2022, 2:11 PM

#

Let's take a step back
What is your end goal here? We usually recommend relying on SetupIntent created by the subscription so that your end-user don't have to go through 3DS auth flow multiple times.

#

You can choose to handle it the way you suggested above but you would needs to also build a flow to bring your users back on-session in case 3DS auth is requested.

glass star Dec 7, 2022, 2:15 PM

#

oky,...my end goal is
use set-up-intent and collect details from client side

for now,..i am creating subscription with incomplete status,
so,..i can active subscription when i got card_details from client side.

but,..i can't active subscription after getting payment_method because invoice is generated , and we have to use payment_intent instead of set_up_intent

#

i am doing below step :

i am creating set-up-intent
creating subscription with incomplete status

sending set-up-intent client-secret to client

after that try to active subscription with payment_method

mint flower Dec 7, 2022, 2:18 PM

#

So to summarise, you only want to create a subscription if the customer has a payment method attached?

glass star Dec 7, 2022, 2:20 PM

#

yes,..
but in that also i am facing problem
i am createing a setupIntent with customerId
and after confirm, i try to get payment_method_id from customer but i can't get

mint flower Dec 7, 2022, 2:22 PM

#

do you have an example customer I can take a look at?
Also request IDs would help too

mint flower Dec 7, 2022, 2:26 PM

#

can you share the SetupIntent ID as well?

#

It looks like the customer does have an attached payment method

Its just not set as default

glass star Dec 7, 2022, 2:27 PM

#

but when,..i try to retrieve from customer for subscription
i can't get

mint flower Dec 7, 2022, 2:29 PM

#

Once the SetupIntent is successful, you likely want to set the generated payment method as invoice_settings.default_payment_method by calling the Update customer API
https://stripe.com/docs/api/customers/update?lang=node#update_customer-invoice_settings-default_payment_method

That's the payment method that a Subscription will attempt to charge

#

but when,..i try to retrieve from customer for subscription
How exactly are you retrieving the customer?
In order to see the attached PaymentMethod you'd want to use this endpoint
https://stripe.com/docs/api/payment_methods/customer_list?lang=node

glass star Dec 7, 2022, 2:32 PM

#

oky,..so when customer will have default_payment_method

subscription will be charged automatically
ur we have to do anything else ?

#

i am retire customer using

#

subscription will be charged automatically
ur we have to do anything else ?
Yes, as long as the payment method is setup correctly.

i am retire customer using
https://stripe.com/docs/api/customers/retrieve?lang=node
I would recommend using the other endpoint I suggested above
