or using create subscription do it all for me automatically? - how will it know whether to save the details or process immediately
Also, can I accomplish processing the payment immediately by using setup Intent and the now timestamp?
please answer ..
cold ether
If you're using recurring payments, you should just create a Subscription. That will generate the PI or SI according to whether there's a payment due immediately
tame pebble
ok...and how will that be used ...in case of SI, will it be handled automatically for payments at a later date?

Yes, the Setup Intent will facilitate payment details collection for future payments
cold ether
What do you mean 'processing'?
tame pebble
payment deduction of the future paymnets?
cold ether
Yes, we'll automatically attempt to charge the payment method for future recurring payments. See: https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/overview#subscription-lifecycle
tame pebble
this link does not answer my Q
cold ether
I'd recommend reading the entire doc, which explains how Subscriptions work pertaining to recurring payments
tame pebble
Yes, we'll automatically attempt to charge the payment method for future recurring payments. - can I accomplish processing the payment immediately by using setup Intent and the now timestamp instead of using payment intent api for the non trialing subscriptions?
cold ether
No, any Subscriptions that require an immediate payment (i.e. non-trials) will generate a Payment Intent. Not sure why you'd want a Setup Intent in that instance?
tame pebble
my PM asked me to use just one that is setupintent for both trials and no trials
with a timestamp and now respectively

👋 @tame pebble happy you're back
lyric thicket
doing good how about you?
tame pebble
am good too..good to see you...was looking for u another day...
lyric thicket
let's focus on the task ahead, discord is really busy today
tame pebble
i just have a small query - can i use just one api that is setupintent for both trials and no trials
with a timestamp and now respectively.
tame pebble
yes we did ..my boss wanted me to use just one
lyric thicket
you need to use either the pending_setup_intent or the latest_invoice.payment_intent to get the secret
your boss is wrong! that's not their fault, they don't know better
tame pebble
ok
lyric thicket
it is one call
it's either or
I mean you call your backend's create subscription API which returns an object with a client_secret (from either the p_s_i or l_i.p_i) and a type (setup or payment) which then you would use either confirmSetup or confirmPayment on the frontend based on what you received as a type
tame pebble
and using Setup Intent will make the future payments automatically on the billing_cycle_anchor date and i dont have to do anything on that date....right?
lyric thicket
yes if you've use the parameters we agreed upon weeks ago
tame pebble
okay
lyric thicket
tame pebble
thanks for sharing
lyric thicket
please don't hesitate to go back to our previous threads if you need more details
tame pebble
ok..also it says that Use default_incomplete to create Subscriptions with status=incomplete when the first invoice requires payment, otherwise start as active. ,,,is this to be used when trial =0
or trial_end = now
payment_behavior
optional enum
lyric thicket
in all cases use allow_incomplete
tame pebble
ok
