You don't need to create a PaymentIntent directly. The subscriptoin will create invoice and you can get the paymentIntent from the invoice.
azure bone
so how the flow should be ?

azure bone
on checkout payment (payment element) should i create the subscription with status incomplete ?
before making the payment then update it
hoary sun
https://stripe.com/docs/payments/accept-a-payment-deferred?platform=web&type=subscription which step are you in right now?
azure bone
actually we have alerady a working solution , but we use setupIntent then we retreive the payment element and create subscription , we did it this way because we had a problem before , we were creating subcritpion and retreive intent from it but we had a problem on update subscription with coupon
now we have a issue with user using 3D secure payment
so asked one of you dev
and he told me this

Hi! I'm taking over this thread.
azure bone
You can leverage our newer flows that allow you to defer the creation of a Subscription (or Payment Intent) object until after the Payment Element is rendered, which will help avoid having incomplete Subscriptions hanging around until they are automatically canceled.
https://stripe.com/docs/payments/accept-a-payment-deferred?platform=web&type=subscription

We have two different flow to create Subscriptions:
- The regular flow, where you first create the Subscription: https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/build-subscriptions?ui=elements
- The deferred flow, where you first create the Payment Method: https://stripe.com/docs/payments/accept-a-payment-deferred?platform=web&type=subscription
And both flows should work. It completely depends on your needs.
now we have a issue with user using 3D secure payment
Can you clarify what is the issue exactly?
azure bone
when we pay with 3d secure , we have invoice failed issue , it only happen with 3d ecure payments
so its not update the subscription status and the invoice statue
blissful yarrow
Is it for the first payment of the subscription, or following payments?
azure bone
the first one
blissful yarrow
Can you share a subscription ID (sub_xxx) with this issue?
azure bone
okay t will just take 3 minute
sub_1NNAV9GyOBDbEOMCCu85WKRo
this one is on test mode
blissful yarrow
Looks like you never did the 3DS flow? https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/payments/pi_3NNAV9GyOBDbEOMC1OUaZRC9
Can you explain your current flow?
azure bone
you mean to test i used ths card
blissful yarrow
After you create the Subscription, what are you doing?
azure bone
we create subscription after payment or with the payment we can say we pass PM to create subscription,if subs create success the payment is a success, if not means the payment has failed
blissful yarrow
Oh so first you create a SetupIntent, and then just after you create a subscription with that payment method? That's not something we recommend doing.
azure bone
yes thats we do
blissful yarrow
Is there a reason for doing it this way?
azure bone
we did this because creating a subscrptiion before payment ,didnt allow us to update the subscritpion with coupon
blissful yarrow
Got it! So your flow is:
- Collect payment method with SetupIntent
- Ask coupon from customer
- Create the subscripton with the payment method from setp 1 and with coupon from step 2
Is this correct?
blissful yarrow
It's not possible to swap step 1 and 2? First ask for a coupon and then collect the payment method?
azure bone
no its not possible thats the flow that we need to follow , coupon and payment element on a same page
blissful yarrow
If you can swap 1 and 2, then I recommend this flow: https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/build-subscriptions?ui=elements
If you can't, then you should use the new flow you linked at the beginning: https://stripe.com/docs/payments/accept-a-payment-deferred?platform=web&type=subscription
azure bone
yes so for the flow of the flow of the beginning , how does it work exaclty
how do i display the paymentElement ?
blissful yarrow
Have you read the guide? It expains everything.
azure bone
no i mean should i use create intent
blissful yarrow
It's a new flow that allows you to use the Payment Element without any SetupIntent or PaymentIntent.
azure bone
before showing the paymentElement
blissful yarrow
No
azure bone
okay so for the items and price i should set them mannualy not from the invoice
thanks
have a nice day
blissful yarrow
Happy to help 🙂
azure bone
i have a small question , how can i display the paymentElement without payment intent ?
i don't see any thing mentioning it on the docs
blissful yarrow
See this code? It doesn't use any PaymentIntent, but it's enough to mount the Payment Element.
