No that's not how it works unfortunately. You need an invoice to exist to attempt payment, and that's just how Checkout works
haughty prairie
so what is the best practice in this case. In case a user try a payment and fails. How he can retry to pay if he closes the page let say
vernal raft
If you want a Stripe-hosted page, you could just bring them to the invoice url: https://stripe.com/docs/api/invoices/object#invoice_object-hosted_invoice_url

ok, but i would like that the user could just retry the payment in the checkout page, as any oter website of tyhis type. If the payment fails "just retry it"
haughty prairie
if they leave the page for any reason?
I'm telling this because it happened some times
not many times, but...
I want to find a solid behavior

You could also just store the checkout session url on your end and provide a way for the customer to go back to it
As long as they return within the expiry window that should suffice
haughty prairie
a solution that i found was to retrieve the checkout session from the user which was working fine until a certain logic point
but i got an issue, I store the checkout session id and i use it to send again the user in that checkout session. Perfect. But what if a user wants to select the plan2 instead the plan1? beacause in this scenario the user cannot select anymore the plan since it's stored in his previous checkout session
vernal raft
You'll need to create a new sesion in that case
haughty prairie
and i can create it if the is let say an open invoice?
vernal raft
I don't understand the question
haughty prairie
if I can create a new session checkout for that user that has an open invoice and a incoplete suscription
because i was getting an error, i'll check which one it was
vernal raft
You should be able to
haughty prairie
ok
so the error i was getting was this: invalid_request_error
You cannot update a subscription that is canceled or incomplete_expired.

vernal raft
You aren't creating a new checkout session there
You're attempting to update an existing subscription
haughty prairie
so the problem in that case was a wrong request
