Can you elaborate?

We recommend using webhooks for handling failed payments on Subscriptions: https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/webhooks

Let me know if that answers your question

[obsidian crag]

yes i am using webhooks

based on this i understood that to create my custom logic to enable next_payment_attempt i need to write that logic in my webhook?

but i couldnt find any event type to handlt next payment attempt

[dark escarp]

So you are trying to override smart retries?

[obsidian crag]

yes i want to know if is that possible?

If you want to process payment retries according to your own logic, you likely want to disable smart/automatic retries. You can't "set" next_payment_attempt -- that's purely informational when watching automatic retries

What exactly are you trying to achieve?

[obsidian crag]

i have this idea that if this recurring payment for a users fails i want to send a email or some way to let user inform that his payment is not done

So Stripe can manage that for you, but it's up to you whether you want to enable that vs handle it yourself.

[obsidian crag]

yes that is also what i am looking so can u tell me how to

make this work?

[unique anchor]

Tell you how to what? Disable automatic retries?

[obsidian crag]

i meant how can i send these emails to users if recurring payment fails? as u said stripe can handle that so how to enable it?

so i dont want to disable automatic retries if it solves my purpose of notifying users

ah, see here:
