Awesome, I have tried the following 1. const paymentMethod = await stripe.createPaymentMethod({
type: 'card',
card: elements.getElement('payment'),
});
Am trying to create a subscription with the PaymentRequestButtonElement. Can I share my code sample?

yes

My component code
My main issue is what values should I use to succesfully create a subscription?
Any advice ?

sorry haven't had the chance to look at it yet
bear with me a moment please
basically what you need to do is to follow this guide
instead of using PaymentElement in this step https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/build-subscriptions?ui=elements#collect-payment
you would use PRB
you would then see which one of latest_invoice.payment_intent and pending_setup_intent is not null, and send its client secret to the front end
and depending on whether it's a PI or an SI you would do either confirmCardPayment or confirmCardSetup

Sorry but , I am completely lost now

I think what you were trying to do is to collect the Payment Method (PM) before creating the subscription
which is not the path we recommend doing
PRB = Payment Request Button
PI = PaymentIntent
SI = SetupIntent
latest_invoice.payment_intent and pending_setup_intent are respectively https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscriptions/object#subscription_object-latest_invoice and https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscriptions/object#subscription_object-pending_setup_intent coming from the subscription object

Ok, is there a need to create a customer when dealing with subscriptions ?
Initially I am using the following code for making payments via CardElements

I really think you should start over, this is a very old workflow that is no longer recommended
