hello! that's a current limitation of the Pricing Table unfortunately
you can't reuse an existing Customer id
but there should be other pieces of information that you can refer to
can you share the Subscription id so that I can take a look?
glass basin
Ouch
Where would I find a subscription ID?
And failing that, what other information can I use?
slender hawk
you mentioned that you listen to the subscription created webhook event?
there should be a Subscription id in there
it'll start with sub_
slender hawk
so if you refer to the event : https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/events/evt_1MWvkTLzWoLInG3MMZXODWas
glass basin
yes...
slender hawk
it has a customer id : "customer": "cus_NHUjIiwvyzb13E",
glass basin
OK...
slender hawk
is that what you're looking for?
glass basin
Not really. The way my site works is:
- User registers, they get a Stripe ID (I'm using Laravel Cashier which takes care of this)
- They can upgrade their subscription. I'm hoping to use pricing tables for this bit- it's so much easier than the way I've already got it
slender hawk
so you mean, at 1) they already paid for and have a Subscription?
glass basin
- An event listener handles the webhook event and upgrades the user identified by the customer ID
glass basin
so you mean, at 1) they already paid for and have a Subscription?
No, but they have a Strips customer ID ready for when they do
I'm beginning to think I may need to rethink this
slender hawk
yeah, honestly, Stripe Pricing Tables just isn't able to use an existing Customer ID yet
it's been an feature that we've been getting a lot of requests about though
glass basin
Is there a way to return the client-reference-id with the event?
And is there a plan to?
slender hawk
you can pass in a client-reference-id property in the Pricing Table
i don't have any information or timeline on when such a feature will be available
glass basin
you can pass in a client-reference-id property in the Pricing Table
How do I get that back with the subscription event?
slender hawk
it'll be returned in the checkout.session.completed event
glass basin
so I know which user subscribed to what?
slender hawk
not in the subscription event
