#

it depends on how you want to do it, either you create the Customer prior to the user paying for it and pass that in when creating the Checkout Session, or you retrieve the customer id from the completed Checkout Session

vale field Feb 22, 2023, 4:44 AM

#

How do I initiate a Checkout Session? I'm only redirecting a user to a subscription checkout page via url.

strong rune Feb 22, 2023, 4:45 AM

#

what guide are you referring to implement Checkout? can you share the URL?

vale field Feb 22, 2023, 4:46 AM

#

I'm not referring into anything specific. We already have a checkout page built via stripe and we open a new tab and redirect the user to that page.

strong rune Feb 22, 2023, 4:47 AM

#

can you share your account id? i'll take a look at how you're currently integrating

vale field Feb 22, 2023, 4:48 AM

#

acct_1MbyRTJ2MMj0BE3B

#

test account

strong rune Feb 22, 2023, 4:49 AM

#

i need the livemode account id to view how you're currently integrating with us

vale field Feb 22, 2023, 4:50 AM

#

this is it

#

I want to create a subscription and allow users to subscribe to it via a checkout page similar to this https://buy.stripe.com/dR6eY16yTfBlbssdQV
and then be able to associate the customer with a user in our database

strong rune Feb 22, 2023, 4:53 AM

#

did you post the livemode account id? i might have missed it

vale field Feb 22, 2023, 4:53 AM

#

acct_1MbyRTJ2MMj0BE3B

#

same

strong rune Feb 22, 2023, 4:56 AM

#

there's no live requests on that account though, the only requests that exist are in test mode

vale field Feb 22, 2023, 4:57 AM

#

Yes, that's because I just started working on this.

#

there is nothing live yet

#

Does creating a checkout session stripe.checkout.sessions.create automatically redirect the user to the stripe subscription page?

strong rune Feb 22, 2023, 4:59 AM

#

i'd suggest you refer to https://stripe.com/docs/billing/quickstart to implement it

#

when you create the Checkout Session, you can pass in an existing customer id : https://stripe.com/docs/api/checkout/sessions/create#create_checkout_session-customer

#

you can create a Customer object using this API : https://stripe.com/docs/api/customers/create

vale field Feb 22, 2023, 5:05 AM

#

Is it necessary to create a customer object?

#

or will the checkout it self create one?

#

is the PRICE_LOOKUP_KEY the SUBSCRIPTION ITEM ID?

pine viper Feb 22, 2023, 5:08 AM

#

👋 taking over

#

It's recommend to create a customer beforehand

#

and no they are different Ids

vale field Feb 22, 2023, 5:09 AM

#

I just created a subscription, how do I find the lookup key for it and also the checkout page for the subscription

The id of the subscription i created, sub_1MeAUmJ2MMj0BE3Be8T2BuvO

pine viper Feb 22, 2023, 5:11 AM

#

No you are doing it incorrectly. You create a Checkout Session. After the customer authenticate and paid, it will generate a Subscription for you

vale field Feb 22, 2023, 5:12 AM

#

Don't I need to create an item first? Otherwise, what is the user subscribing to?

#

the line_items that is

pine viper Feb 22, 2023, 5:19 AM

#

You can specify line_items on-the-fly. Have you checked this guide? https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/build-subscriptions

Build a subscriptions integration

Create and manage subscriptions to accept recurring payments.

#

I think you can also specify the Price properties on-the-fly but it's recommended to create the Price first

vale field Feb 22, 2023, 5:27 AM

#

Okay created a product and a price

#

const stripe = new Stripe(process.env.STRIPE_API_KEY_DEV ?? '', {
        apiVersion: '2022-11-15',
    })

    const session = await stripe.checkout.sessions.create({
        success_url:
            'https://example.com/success.html?session_id={CHECKOUT_SESSION_ID}',
        cancel_url: 'https://example.com/canceled.html',
        line_items: [{ price: 'price_1MeAl6J2MMj0BE3BmoovLnLO', quantity: 1 }],
        mode: 'subscription',
    })

    if (session.url) res.redirect(303, session.url)

#

But it is not redirecting

Do you see the creation call succeed? https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/logs

pine viper Feb 22, 2023, 5:33 AM

#

So this is not working

if (session.url) res.redirect(303, session.url)

#

Not sure why but can you put it in proper brackets?

vale field Feb 22, 2023, 5:34 AM

#

No it's not working

pine viper Feb 22, 2023, 5:35 AM

#

If you log out session.url will you see the value above?

vale field Feb 22, 2023, 5:40 AM

#

yes

#

could the redirect be done in the frontend?

pine viper Feb 22, 2023, 5:48 AM

#

It could, but redirect in backend is recommended. I think there is some issue with your server redirection setting

#

Like, can you simply redirect to some static url such as google.com?

vale field Feb 22, 2023, 5:55 AM

#

No, that doesn't work either

#

I'm using nest.js

pine viper Feb 22, 2023, 6:05 AM

#

do you see the same if replace with the Session Url above?

vale field Feb 22, 2023, 6:06 AM

#

nope

#

I don't see anything when using session.url

pine viper Feb 22, 2023, 6:09 AM

#

But just not redirecting?

vale field Feb 22, 2023, 6:10 AM

#

it's not redirecting as well
