hey there, you can do this with a zero-amount recurring price

versed slate Mar 9, 2023, 4:05 PM

#

Yeah, this is how we had it set up right now, I just wasn't sure if that was best practices.

#

It depends on how you want things represented to your customer, really, so "best" is up to you

#

You can do that, or you could have a non-zero price but apply a 100% discount coupon, which would show on each invoice

#

or you could set the subscription as a long trial period

#

It made sense to me to do it as a one-off so they're not getting monthly e-mails being like "Have a $0 charge!", but I couldn't find a way to generate an invoice w/o collecting payment info.

#

or you could use no stripe subscription at all and just have your own status in your system/user dashboard

versed slate Mar 9, 2023, 4:06 PM

#

Yeah, but I wanted users to have access to the customer portal to update when ready. Sounds like a recurring $0 sub is the best option!

#

If you don't want email, you can set the subscription to collection_method=charge_automatically (instead of send_email)

versed slate Mar 9, 2023, 4:07 PM

#

Oh, sweet.

sonic portal Mar 9, 2023, 4:08 PM

#

For a zero-amount price the invoices will transition to paid without a payment, and no invoice email should be sent

versed slate Mar 9, 2023, 4:09 PM

#

Oh, great. That's perfect. Thank you!
