Hi! Let me help you with this.
Could you please share the PaymentIntent ID pi_xxx?
Or Subscription ID?
pure dagger
yes, one sec
this one was created a couple minutes ago: sub_1MtrAEH8r8PtsGGjZ2gidNNk

The Subscription amount is very low, this might influence what payment method types are displayed
You can also specify the payment_settings.payment_method_types explicitly: https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscriptions/create#create_subscription-payment_settings-payment_method_types
pure dagger
I can create a subscription with a higher amount
yeah, I know, that I can attach via code, but I would like to control it from the dashboard, if possible
this one has a pretty high amount: sub_1MtrVjH8r8PtsGGj8aFXMpPv

What do you see for this Subscription?

There's a different panel for setting Payment Methods for Invoices: https://dashboard.stripe.com/settings/billing/invoice
Look under Default payment terms -> Payment Methods
I know it's a bit unobvious.
pure dagger
interesting, but it's not visible in the ui for me
this is how billing looks for me:

Try "Invoice template"
light compass
I know, it's a bit hidden.
pure dagger
ok, now SEPA is disabled, but I still don't see Sofort, altough it's enabled
this is the next subscription: sub_1MtrysH8r8PtsGGjAy2Dzf30

What country are you connecting from?
Okay, the reason is sofort cannot be used with subscriptions that have the collection_method set to charge_automatically.
pure dagger
So it must be set to send_invoice?
Does it mean I must start the payment process with extra steps afterwards? I always used charge_automatically until now

Yes, this is the limitation unfortunately.
I would say not using Sofort is a less disruptive way.
pure dagger
but this is a requirement from the business side
so unfortunately we have to support it
ok, I will check how to process send_invoice subscriptions

👋 stepping in
Sofort is intended for single-use payments so it doesn't make sense for a charge_automatically subscription
You can send each invoice for manual payment via Sofort if you want.
Let me know if I can help any further here
pure dagger
Regarding the Stripe guide and other sources it is quite common to use Sofort for the first payment for immediate authorization and using sepa mandate for the recurring invoices
this is what we want to achieve
the stripe guide outlines, how to set up recurring payments with a setup intent
so I thought it is a small step from the setup intent to a recurring subscriptions
white swallow
Oh yeah that is definitely possible if you want to go that route
But yeah you would create the SetupIntent separate from the Subscription
Then use the SEPA Debit PaymentMethod generated via Sofort for the Sub
pure dagger
hm, I was hoping, that there is an existing solution or tutorial for this
Are you aware of something?
Can I attach the setup intent to a subscription? I guess not
white swallow
That guide is for just a Sofort integration without Payment Element though
If you want to use Payment Element then you follow https://stripe.com/docs/payments/save-and-reuse
And just create a SetupIntent for Sofort. Then you set the SEPA Debit PaymentMethod as the Customer's invoice_settings.default_payment_method
Then create the Sub
