Hi there!

#

fringe heath What is your end goal here? Associate a payment with a product?

yes

#

Can you use metadata on the PaymentIntent?

#

#

yes sure I can

#

Your suggestion would to add a product_id next to PaymentIntent ?

fringe heath May 19, 2023, 10:05 AM

#

Yes you can use metadata to store information about the product (name, ID, whatever you need)

#

Ok let me rephrase my question

I have products in Stripe. Subscription product
each of them got their id sub_xxxxxxxx
I want to create a payment intent for those Subscription product
is it possible ?

#

Wait, if you use Subscriptions then the subscription will create the Invoices and PaymentIntent automatically for you.

#

So why do you want to create a PaymentIntent?

sand hemlock May 19, 2023, 10:15 AM

#

User may be not registered on our website. Still they will have the proposal to pay for a subscription.
So we can't create Customer object by advance

fringe heath May 19, 2023, 10:18 AM

#

I'm sorry but I'm confused. So let's take a step back.
What is your end goal right now, is it to create a subscription for a user? What does your payment flow looks like?

#

Do you use Checkout Session to create the subscription, or directly use the subscription endpoint?

sand hemlock May 19, 2023, 10:25 AM

#

Ok let us start from the beginning.
W1: Right now our subscription flow, required our user to register/login, then we create a Stripe Customer, then create an Invoice, then we had a specific form in JS on our website. This workflow works perfectly but lacks of efficiency for sales conversion

W2: Then I discovered PaymentIntent and though it would be useful to let anonymous user makes their payment on Stripe, then grab the receipt_email to check if mails exists or not, if not I automatically create the account based on this mail. This workflow works perfectly as well

Now what I only need to do, is to change W2, so instead of making paid a single PaymentIntent, I wish I could make them pay their SubscriptionProduct even if I don't have a customer yet created as StripeCustomer because I don't know yet who is this customer

#

then we create a Stripe Customer, then create an Invoice,
I don't understand this part. Are you using Stripe Subscriptions objects or not? Because Stripe Subscriptions automatically create the invoices for you.

sand hemlock May 19, 2023, 10:32 AM

#

Yes we do use Stripe Subscriptions

#

Ok I understand what I should do
