I don't believe so, but let me double check

#

Alright, doesn't look like it does.

Ah ok.. Thank for you checking. Out of curiosity, what happens to the payment information in that case?
A follow up question -
For context, my service has a free plan that users are automically placed in, and paid plans which users can upgrade to. I am trying to setup a billing flow that doesn’t create accounts for users that do not ever upgrade to a paid plan. Essentially only creating Stripe customers when the user inputs their billing information.
Do you have any recommendations for this implementation?

A Payment Method is created

You'll want to play around with our Subscription integration guides to get a feel fro what Subscriptions do and how they work. You'll have to have a Customer for your Subscriptions, but you don't need to input any information for them. They can essentially be empty objects.

Create and manage subscriptions to accept recurring payments.

Ah sorry, i forgot to mention, i would be using a 3rd party platform for subscriptions.

Would I be able to do this?
Create a setup intent (without customer ID), customer submits billing information, we receive PaymentMethod, create a Customer and attach PaymentMethod

That's all possible, yeah

Ok, I will give it a shot. Thank you for the help
