Hi there!

#

which we have to have in order to create subscription in Stripe right?
No you don't need the billing address to start a subscription.

#

You are able to create subscription without those information? I thought its mandatory

regal dirge Jan 25, 2023, 9:32 AM

#

Yes. I recommend you to try this in test mode, and you'll see you can create a subscription without a billing address.

#

Other thing is that if Stripe would collect this address, are we able to access this address to reuse it for next payments?

regal dirge Jan 25, 2023, 9:35 AM

#

Yes, that information is available in the API.

#

Ok I see.. We thought that in order to create subscription you need billing address and default payment method. Only the second one is neccessary. How can we set via API that it reflects settings in dashboard " Email invoice to the customer to pay manually"

#

How are you creating the subscriptions? Payment Link, Checkout Session, Subscription endpoint?

#

Let me check please

#

Subscription endpoint

#

Then it's this: https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscriptions/create#create_subscription-collection_method

#

Ok thank you - if we would want to charge new subsciber right away, we need to have his payment method. What about using SetUpIntent for this case?

Correct
What about using SetUpIntent for this case?
That's a bad idea. Instead you should follow this guide that explains how to create subscriptions and collect a new payment method: https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/build-subscriptions?ui=elements
