Hello! A trial can be added to a Subscription independently, regardless of the trial data on the Plan. In fact, we no longer recommend setting trials on Plans and instead recommend setting trial periods directly on Subscriptions themselves.
rocky osprey
then what is best way to check if subscription had trial or not
brave garnet
Had? As in ever had a trial in the past? Or currently has a trial period?
brave garnet
That's something we recommend you track on your end if you want to know about past trial activity. If you don't store it on your end you would likely need to look at the Subscription's previous Invoices to determine if any of them mention a trial period.
A Subscription can have multiple trial periods, and they can happen at any time between other paid periods.
rocky osprey
hmm, so no easy way to tract it?
if my subscriptoin doesn't have trial, what data are you sending on field 'trial_end'?
brave garnet
The easiest way would be to set up a Webhook Endpoint to listen for customer.subscription.updated Events and record any change that starts or ends a trial in your system: https://stripe.com/docs/api/events/types#event_types-customer.subscription.updated
If there's no trial trial_end will be null.
rocky osprey
in my check, I got timestamp so asking
brave garnet
That means there's a trial.
Can you give me the Subscription's ID so I can take a look?
brave garnet
You created that Subscription with a Price that had trial data, and you specified trial_from_plan, so a trial period exists for that Subscription: https://dashboard.stripe.com/logs/req_wVDPAReoYD8hMO
rocky osprey
hmm, then this plan is updating existing plan maybe?
brave garnet
Not sure I understand?
rocky osprey
anyway, one other question. can I get last paid amount for subscription easily?
brave garnet
Yeah, you can look at the Subscription's latest_invoice: https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscriptions/object#subscription_object-latest_invoice
brave garnet
You can expand it if you want the full Invoice object: https://stripe.com/docs/expand
rocky osprey
when I retreive the subsccription, can I get latest invoice detail together somehow?
brave garnet
You mean you want to get the Subscription and the latest Invoice in one API request?
rocky osprey
yes
brave garnet
Yep, that's what expansion is for.
You can expand the latest_invoice property to get the full Invoice object instead of just the Invoice ID.
rocky osprey
super!!
your api is like heaven if it's compared to paypal api 😄
let me try
I expand , but no latest invoice then it will be null?
one more question
😦
brave garnet
Not sure I understand. You have a Subscription with no latest Invoice?
