hello! how can I help?
vagrant meteor
This is my flow:
- inside the checkout page I create a setup intent
- I confirm it
- if the customer selected a plan with trial days I proceed to homepage; otherwise the customer need to pay so I create a payment intent server-side and I confirm it.
But using this card (4000002500003155), for example, I receive two 3DS requests: one for the SI and one for the PI so for the customer is not a good thing.
what I'd like to do is create a setup_intent in case I'm in the checkout with a plan with trial days or directly create a payment_intent in case I'm with a plan without trial days.
The only problem with this choice is that I don't know in advance how much the user will pay because, in the checkout, there is the option to enter a coupon code that lowers the price.

you don't need to create a SetupIntent, a Subscription with a trial will create one - you'll want to expand [0] the pending_setup_intent [1] when creating the Subscription and use that to initialize the Payment Element.
[0] https://stripe.com/docs/api/expanding_objects
[1] https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscriptions/object#subscription_object-pending_setup_intent
are you not using the Stripe Billing product? i.e. creating a Subscription : https://stripe.com/docs/billing
vagrant meteor
no, we don't use subscriptions. The customer want to use setup intents and payment intents, this is why I'm doing this.
can you help about this please?

ah i see, then for the PaymentIntent, you should create it with off_session=true
since you're creating and confirming the PaymentIntent server-side
vagrant meteor
I'm creating it with setup_future_usage = 'off_session' because in 1 year I need to do a sort of background job that created a renew that is off_session
or is it superfluous since before I'm creating a setup_intent with usage: 'off_session'?
torn bluff
to clarify, right now you're creating a SetupIntent to create the PaymentMethod, and then a PaymentIntent with the saved PaymentMethod?
vagrant meteor
exactly
like this { amount: pay_order.final_amount.to_i, customer: user.stripe_customer_id, currency: 'eur', payment_method: payment_method.id, confirm: true, setup_future_usage: 'off_session' }
torn bluff
create the PaymentIntent with off_session=true : https://stripe.com/docs/api/payment_intents/create#create_payment_intent-off_session
vagrant meteor
so basically since I'm confirming server-side every PI need to have off_session: true, rght?
torn bluff
yes, that's correct
vagrant meteor
I was thinking that since I'm creating the PI after the checkout the user was in-session.
But I believe that in-session is only when I do the confirmPayment directly inside my html page right?
torn bluff
yep, that's correct
vagrant meteor
cool seems to work!
