Hello

#

Yeah overall that is correct. If you are using trials then you do likely want to be creating your local user immediately when you create the Customer since the Sub will not be incomplete if the SetupIntent fails

#

Yea, we're using trials

#

But in that case (by creating local user immediately for trials)

What if user decline 3ds check in step 3?

#

We'd have a local user + trialing subscription for customer who declined card setup?

dawn rapids Dec 8, 2022, 6:09 PM

#

Correct

#

Then it is up to you how you want to handle that

tame river Dec 8, 2022, 6:10 PM

#

So, we still can handle trials with steps I described, but we'd have step 4b (if 3 fails) where we canceling that trialing subscription if we want?

dawn rapids Dec 8, 2022, 6:11 PM

#

Yeah you can cancel it explicitly or you can use your Subscription Settings to handle that cancellation if payment fails on the initial invoice after the trial

#

Cool

#

Just got another question in mind, slightly related to that one

#

Is there any possibility of making a "paid trials"?

E.g. if we want to charge customers $7 for 7 days of trial, and then they'd have a regular subscription for $45/m

#

Should we approve multiple payment intents then?

dawn rapids Dec 8, 2022, 6:22 PM

#

Well you can add an invoice item to the trial period when you create the Sub using: https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscriptions/create#create_subscription-add_invoice_items

#

Or you could charge a one-off payment via PaymentIntent and handle this outside the Sub if you want.

Whoa

It's so easy to miss some new feature / api field (yea, it might be added years ago, but, well 🙂 )

#

Thanks, I think it may work

fierce owl Dec 8, 2022, 6:25 PM

#

Curious what would help for discovery?

#

we're working on improvements. A few weeks ago we added https://stripe.com/docs/changelog for example

#

the idea is to try and list all new API changes as they happen

tame river Dec 8, 2022, 6:33 PM

#

Thanks

#

Another question (sorry for being annoying)

#

How payment redirects works with trialing subscriptions?

#

E.g. can we use these with trial subscriptions (on the registration step)?

fierce owl Dec 8, 2022, 6:34 PM

#

you're not annoying, though the server is busy so I'll play the "try it and see" game 🙂

#

Not all payment methods are supported in all modes in billing

#

But usually a Subscription in trial will have pending_setup_intent available that you can use to confirm client-side and collect payment method details

tame river Dec 8, 2022, 6:36 PM

#

How can I know for particular payment method - is it support trial subscriptions? Or subscriptions at all?

And as for Buy now Pay later options

Are they confirming trialing subscriptions as well?

I'm sorry I don't understand your wording
