Hello 👋
This isn't something subscriptions API support out of the box

However, we support installments with Subscription Schedules

^And if not doing instalments? Just paying upfront for an X-month long subscription? Or is subscription not the right tool for that?

hard dawn Jul 31, 2023, 7:05 PM

#

Yeah that won't be an ideal usecase for subscriptions as its really just a one time payment.

#

^So paymentIntent or checkout session? Or it doesn't matter?

#

PaymentIntent allows you to build your own UI and create your own experience for users
Checkout Sessions provide a Stripe hosted UI to accept payments

#

But yeah, ideally both would allow you to accept a payment.

Thanks

That's it for now.
