With Checkout? You cant upgrade existing subscriptions using Checkout.

#

Oh. Really? How should I do it?

worthy hearth Mar 8, 2023, 11:56 AM

#

It depends. Are you (the merchant) initiating the upgrade or is it a customer?

foggy solar Mar 8, 2023, 11:56 AM

#

The customer does that.

#

We have an "upgrade" button on the site.

#

I'd recommend looking at the customer portal: https://stripe.com/docs/customer-management

Customer management

Manage customer relationships with your business.

#

Can I do it without the portal?

#

or maybe a direct link to update the plan

#

Sure, but you'd need to build a custom UI to handle that: https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/upgrade-downgrade

Upgrade and downgrade subscriptions

Learn how to upgrade and downgrade subscriptions by changing the price.

foggy solar or maybe a direct link to update the plan

That's in beta with the portal: https://stripe.com/docs/customer-management/portal-deep-links#what-is-a-flow

Deep links in the customer portal

Design streamlined customer flows with the customer portal API.

I see, thank you

#

do I need to do something to configure the beta flows access?

#

I get Stripe::InvalidRequestError - Invalid flow_data[type]: must be one of subscription_cancel or payment_method_update:

#

and I want the subscription_update_confirm flow

Yes, you need to contact the team at the email address at the URL I linked
