👋 happy to help

if the invoice is 0

please use this thread for your subsequent messages

will it be happening only for trail plans?
or in any other failure do we get it as null ?

will it be happening only for trail plans?
yes that's also possible, since trial will generate an invoice with a 0 amount

[reef whale]

How do we differentiate invoice.paid event generated by webhook whether it was a trail plan or paid plan do we have any differentiator?

https://stripe.com/docs/api/invoices/object#invoice_object-billing_reason

[reef whale]

it has 2 values - subscription create,subscription cycle how does it differential it is a trail plan?

[wooden panther]

sorry my bad, I misunderstood your question

you need to look at the subscription and see if it's on trial or not

https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscriptions/object#subscription_object-status (trialing)

[reef whale]

it shows cancelled here

[midnight tangle]

Can you help me understand the ask?

[reef whale]

How do we differentiate invoice.paid event generated by webhook whether it was a trail plan or paid plan do we have any differentiator?

am trying to get the status of subscription it says cancelled it should actually show trailing

[midnight tangle]

Well if a trial the amount_due would be zero and the items would likely have a description indicating a trial

[reef whale]

other than this is their any strong differentialtor?

[midnight tangle]

There's no specific field that says it's an invoice for a trial, no

[reef whale]

This was suggested - https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscriptions/object#subscription_object-status (trialing)

it is not the proper way ?

[midnight tangle]

Well that field is not on the Invoice object

Suppose you could use invoice.paid event and look up the Subscription separately

[reef whale]

the current floe is like this - create subscription using https://api.stripe.com/v1/subscriptions and it generated invoice for both paid and trail plans later we call payinvoice api - for trail plans it says already paid see we need to have a differentiator here to make sure no payment was done for trail plan how do we differenriate to have a generic floe?

[midnight tangle]

Why are you calling that endpoint? I would advise against that

[reef whale]

Then how do we we create a paid subscription?

Please suggest the flow

[midnight tangle]

The flow is here: https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/build-subscriptions?ui=elements#collect-payment

/pay endpoint won't handle any scenarios where 3DS/auth is requested on a payment

[reef whale]

We are speaking about apis i want assistance in differentiating for creating stripe subsriptions for plans with trial period and without trail period

Please advise

[midnight tangle]

I understand, but calling the /pay endpoints is not recommended so just wanted to point that out

I think we've already told you all the way you can determine whether an Invoice was for a trial period or not

But equally it wouldn't matter if you weren't calling the /pay endpoint manually

[reef whale]

I think we've already told you all the way you can determine whether an Invoice was for a trial period or not - how do we determine am not clear on this ?

[runic fog]

Hey! Taking over for my colleague. Let me catch up.

for trail plans it says already paid see we need to have a differentiator
Can you share a sample requestId of this request ? in order to understand what call and on which invoice status you are making exactly ?

[runic fog]

You can rely on the amount_due of the invoice (if it's 0), as my colleagues previously mentioned and there is no explicit field on the invoice object that says it's an invoice for a trial or not.
