Hey there

#

You want to use one of our "Available balance" test cards and just make a payment or transfer to the account: https://stripe.com/docs/testing#available-balance

Test cards

Use test cards to validate your Stripe integration without moving real money. Test a variety of international scenarios, including successful and declined payments, card errors, disputes, and bank authentication. You can also test non-card payment methods.

#

there is another way to do it from stripe dashboard side?

astral pike Jun 22, 2023, 12:59 PM

#

Yep if you use the "View account as" button in the top right

#

Then you can click "create payment" in the Dashboard

#

you mean this?

#

Oh yeah

#

They revamped this part of the Dashboard

#

So looks like you can do it while staying in your platform account Dashboard view now

#

one more question about stripe subscription 😄

#

We have subscription which monthly fee is 44.99 eur. For some users, who will subscribe it first time, we would love to offer custom price depending on various things. So for one user this can be 10.4 eur, to antoher 20.2 eur and etc. But this only for first time subscribe for a specific user. On next auto payments there should be default 44.99 eur. How would you recommend to do it? 🙂

#

I'd probably put the user on a trial for the first billing period and add a one-time Invoice Item for the amount that you want to charge them for that initial billing period.

#

is there a big difference between scheduled subscription and free trial on subscription?

astral pike Jun 22, 2023, 1:32 PM

#

No not really

#

You could use a Subscription Schedule here as well if you prefer that

#

But it is more work for your use-case imo

#

The trial won't technically be free in this case.

#

You would just set a trial to negate the amount of the Price for that first period so that you just charge the amount of the Invoice Item that you add.

#

This allows you to do a custom amount on the first billing period

#

you mean I can set a custom price for trial to days, which user will pay instant and after trial days will kick default subscription price?

astral pike Jun 22, 2023, 1:42 PM

#

Yep. You add an Invoice Item using https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscriptions/create#create_subscription-add_invoice_items which is like a one-time custom price that is added to the Subscription on creation

#

I recommend testing it out!

past willow Jun 22, 2023, 1:52 PM

#

But I should create price_id for possibles one time prices?

#

astral pike Jun 22, 2023, 1:54 PM

#

You can or you can just create the Price inline using price_data
