👋 happy to help

#

unfortunately that's not possible

#

you can use the Customer Billing Portal instead

Customer management

#

for updating user's subscription can we implement any success url for accepting the payment for the subscription update if the payment is successful then user is redirected again to my website.

minor fractal Jul 5, 2023, 10:09 AM

#

queen shadow you can use the Customer Billing Portal instead

i do not want to use customer portal

queen shadow Jul 5, 2023, 10:10 AM

#

I'm afraid nothing has changed since the last time I answered your question @minor fractal

minor fractal Jul 5, 2023, 10:11 AM

#

but unable to find the solution which i can implement

queen shadow Jul 5, 2023, 10:11 AM

#

or the numerous threads where my colleagues have answered the same question over and over again

#

I'm pretty sure that not changing the input would not change the output

#

it's very deterministic

#

we gave you several options, all you have to do now is to choose one and implement it

minor fractal Jul 5, 2023, 10:12 AM

#

but non of them are working as i want

queen shadow Jul 5, 2023, 10:12 AM

#

sorry I'm being very firm and strict but we can't spend weeks and weeks dealing with the same question over and over again

queen shadow Jul 5, 2023, 10:13 AM

#

minor fractal but non of them are working as i want

then unfortunately we don't actually have a solution that could work for you

minor fractal Jul 5, 2023, 10:13 AM

#

just once can you tell me that it can be possible or not
i can explain the situation

#

?

#

When a user wants to update their subscription, they will be redirected to a Stripe page. If the payment for the subscription is successful, the user's subscription will be updated and they will be redirected back to my website. However, if the payment fails, no action will be taken and the subscription will not be updated. It is important to ensure that the subscription is not updated until the payment process is successfully completed. Once the payment is done, the user will be redirected back to my website.

When a user wants to update their subscription, they will be redirected to a Stripe page.
this is not possible

#

unless it's the Customer Billing Portal

#

once we agree on this, we can move to finding another solution for you

minor fractal Jul 5, 2023, 10:20 AM

#

while creating the subscription we are using

stripe_session = stripe.checkout.Session.create( success_url=domain + '/payments/stripe-success?session_id={CHECKOUT_SESSION_ID}', cancel_url=domain + '/payments/stripe-failed/', mode='subscription', line_items=[{ 'price': plan.id, 'quantity': 1, }], # customer_email=user_id.email, customer_email='nm_mon@gmail.com', metadata={'user_id': (request.user).id, 'plan_id': subscription_plan.id, 'plan_name': subscription_plan.plan_name }, ) return redirect(stripe_session.url)

in this user is redirected back to the my website

queen shadow Jul 5, 2023, 10:21 AM

#

this works for creating a subscription

#

it doesn't work for updating an exsiting one

minor fractal Jul 5, 2023, 10:21 AM

#

it means there is no solution regarding it

queen shadow Jul 5, 2023, 10:24 AM

#

not the way you are expecting it to work

#

there are workarounds and stuff that you can develop yourself to make it work, but you're determined to use Checkout when in fact Checkout does not support your use case

minor fractal Jul 5, 2023, 10:26 AM

#

aI do not want to use checkout I want to implement the similar functionality like success url for updating subscription payments

queen shadow Jul 5, 2023, 10:28 AM

#

you're going about this in the wrong way

#

you're defining the behavior that you're expecting

#

instead of defining what is your use case and seeing what is possible to do

#

you're limiting yourself by putting unnecessary constraints

minor fractal Jul 5, 2023, 10:30 AM

#

ok then can you guide me in implementing the functionality or the path

queen shadow Jul 5, 2023, 10:37 AM

#

the only way to have your customer confirm the payment for the subscription upgrade before updating the subscription is by using the upcoming invoice API

#

you can start by calculating what amount should your customer pay https://stripe.com/docs/billing/invoices/subscription#previewing

Subscription invoices

Learn how to manage subscription invoices.

minor fractal Jul 5, 2023, 10:39 AM

#

I have been using this

`subscription = subscription.modify(
subscription_id,
proration_behavior='always_invoice',
items=[subscription_item],
payment_behavior='pending_if_incomplete',
)

        subscription = stripe.Subscription.retrieve(subscription_id)

        invoice = stripe.Invoice.retrieve(subscription.latest_invoice, expand=['payment_intent'])

        invoice_url = invoice.hosted_invoice_url
      

        # return redirect(invoice_url)`

but in this after payment user is not redirected to my website

queen shadow Jul 5, 2023, 10:39 AM

#

this is called the Hosted Invoice Page

marble matrixBOT Jul 5, 2023, 10:39 AM

#

queen shadow Jul 5, 2023, 10:40 AM

#

this page doesn't allow redirection

minor fractal Jul 5, 2023, 10:41 AM

#

queen shadow you can start by calculating what amount should your customer pay https://strip...

then should i try this?

queen shadow Jul 5, 2023, 10:41 AM

#

also this approach updates the subscription

#

before the payment

#

which is not what you're trying to do

minor fractal Jul 5, 2023, 10:42 AM

#

but the subscription is not changed

#

i had tried this

queen shadow Jul 5, 2023, 10:42 AM

#

it is actually

minor fractal Jul 5, 2023, 10:42 AM

#

payment_behavior='pending_if_incomplete'

queen shadow Jul 5, 2023, 10:42 AM

#

subscription = subscription.modify(
subscription_id,
proration_behavior='always_invoice',
items=[subscription_item],
payment_behavior='pending_if_incomplete',
)
this modifies the subscription

#

yes it will put it in a pending state if there's no payment method

minor fractal Jul 5, 2023, 10:43 AM

#

but it is not updated

queen shadow Jul 5, 2023, 10:43 AM

#

but that doesn't mean the subscription can be reverted back as if the change didn't happen

queen shadow Jul 5, 2023, 10:43 AM

#

minor fractal but it is not updated

it depends on what you mean by "not updated"

minor fractal Jul 5, 2023, 10:44 AM

#

yes there is no change in the stripe regarding that
if from the redirected url user does not do any payment

queen shadow Jul 5, 2023, 10:44 AM

#

just a quick question, why do you need the redirection?

minor fractal Jul 5, 2023, 10:45 AM

#

in my implementation my TL wants it to perform like that for user convience so that user not need to manually go back to my website

queen shadow Jul 5, 2023, 10:52 AM

#

the only way to have the redirection then is to use Payment Element on your website

#

and pay the invoice.payment_intent

minor fractal Jul 5, 2023, 10:54 AM

#

unable to understand properly can you explain more briefly

queen shadow Jul 5, 2023, 10:55 AM

#

each invoice has a Payment Intent.

#

you can use its client_secret with this approach https://stripe.com/docs/payments/accept-a-payment?platform=web&ui=elements

Accept a payment

Securely accept payments online.

minor fractal Jul 5, 2023, 10:58 AM

#

how we can verify that the payment is for the specific subscription and user

through metadata?

queen shadow Jul 5, 2023, 10:58 AM

#

the PaymentIntent is linked to the Invoice which is linked to the subscription

#

and all are linked to the customer

minor fractal Jul 5, 2023, 11:01 AM

#

minor fractal I have been using this `subscription = subscription.modify( sub...

,need to create a different payment intent or from this invoice json want to extract it

silent stone Jul 5, 2023, 11:05 AM

#

The Payment Intent will be on the latest_invoice. Pass the expand param to your .modify call

minor fractal Jul 5, 2023, 11:13 AM

#

from the payment intent what to do?

silent stone Jul 5, 2023, 11:14 AM

#

Call confirmPayment: https://stripe.com/docs/js/payment_intents/confirm_card_payment#stripe_confirm_card_payment-attached

Stripe JS Reference

minor fractal Jul 5, 2023, 11:25 AM

#

sorry i am unable to understand the whole process

do i need to do coding in js?

silent stone Jul 5, 2023, 11:28 AM

#

Yes you need front-end JS code to confirm the payment and allow the customer to complete auth if requested
