Could you share what your objective is? If you would like to confirm whether the subscription is created and paid successfully for the first invoice, checkout.session.completed event should be sufficient

kind ether Apr 19, 2023, 5:57 AM

#

I have just two plans: FREE and PRO
For PRO plan user needs to subscribe to pro plan and we have two subscription model: monthly $10 or yearly $100
Once the checkout.session.completed is completed I can upgrade the user to pro plan
I need to know if the payment fails in the next invoice, in that case I need to downgrade the user to free plan again

#

In short, if the user is paying for monthly or yearly subscription he can get access to pro features else he will be using free features

I see! checkout.session.completed event is only for initial subscription invoice. It won't be sent for remaining future cycles. If you wish to check for the invoice payment failure for next billing cycle, you may listen to invoice.payment_failed event and apply your custom logic accordingly: https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/webhooks#payment-failures

How can I test it right now? Is there any way to send invoice.payment_failed?

Hi @kind ether I'm taking over

kind ether Apr 19, 2023, 6:15 AM

#

Thank you!

lilac island Apr 19, 2023, 6:15 AM

#

You can use Stripe CLI to simulate a invoice.payment_failed event

#

stripe trigger invoice.payment_failed

kind ether Apr 19, 2023, 6:17 AM

#

#

Is it the way to trigger?

#

Got it, thank you

#

Also will you please list out the event I need to listen to for the below scenario. Payment is sensitive and I don't want to miss out anything

#

I have just two plans: FREE and PRO
For PRO plan user needs to subscribe to pro plan and we have two subscription model: monthly $10 or yearly $100
Once the checkout.session.completed is completed I can upgrade the user to pro plan
I need to know if the payment fails in the next invoice, in that case I need to downgrade the user to free plan again

https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/webhooks I'd recommend you go through this doc. It provide comprehensive guidelines on using webhooks for subscription

Using webhooks with subscriptions

Learn to use webhooks to receive notifications of subscription activity.

#

Thank you! Also stripe will periodically send the event until 200 response is provided right? In case my service is down, we might miss some events and might encounter some bugs

https://stripe.com/docs/api/events/list?lang=java#list_events you can also use this API to retrieve the past events to reconcile

Also how the subscription ends? Is it related to something like 6 months subscription on monthly basis or when payment fails and current subscription ends?

lilac island Apr 19, 2023, 6:43 AM

#

The subscription will continue unless you cancel it

#

Or you can use subscription schedule to automatic the process and make the subscription cancelled after 6 months

Will you please clarify about this event, is it sent when the customer cancels the subscription?

lilac island Apr 19, 2023, 6:52 AM

#

Yes, this event happens when the subscription is canceled.

kind ether Apr 19, 2023, 6:56 AM

#

checkout.session.completed
customer.subscription.deleted
invoice.payment_failed

I only found 3 events useful in my context.

lilac island Apr 19, 2023, 7:00 AM

#

You can listen to the events that you think that's helpful to your application.

kind ether Apr 19, 2023, 7:05 AM

#

I just cancelled my plan, but got only customer.subscription.updated, when customer.subscription.deleted will be triggered?

lilac island Apr 19, 2023, 7:05 AM

#

Subscription ID?

kind ether Apr 19, 2023, 7:08 AM

#

Even if I cancelled now, It will be cancelled on may 19

#

This is the id probably: sub_1MyTmjDfJAkpzIQT4zfzKQ5f

lilac island Apr 19, 2023, 7:09 AM

#

Share with me the subscription ID so that I can take a look

kind ether Apr 19, 2023, 7:09 AM

#

sub_1MyTmjDfJAkpzIQT4zfzKQ5f

You used customer portal to schedule the cancelation. If you want to cancel it immediately, use this API https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscriptions/cancel?lang=java#cancel_subscription

#

Is there any way to test all these, by making subscription interval of 5 mins?

lilac island Apr 19, 2023, 7:41 AM

#

what do mean by a subscription interval of 5 mins?

kind ether Apr 19, 2023, 7:42 AM

#

I need to test all those webhooks and my code, how can we test it? One option might be to create 5 mins subscription instead of monthly subscription

#

I don't know how to test this code
