If you have a plan to charge on a fixed interval such as monthly, creating a subscription will collect the payment on monthly basis once the payment method is set up

#

For more information, you may refer to the guide here: https://stripe.com/docs/billing

How to deal with such a scene

#

You may use Subscription Schedule API to create a subscription with price of $3 for the first month, then update to the price of $6 from second month onwards: https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/subscription-schedules/use-cases#upgrading-subscriptions

By the way,Create a subscription mode for checkout, what scenario is this used for?

#

Checkout Session is Stripe hosted payment page. If you don't have much engineering resources, Checkout Session is the easier way to get start with payment collection.

In comparison with Payment Element (embedded payment in your website), Payment Element requires more engineering work.

#

You can either use Checkout Session or Subscription API with Payment Element for your integration

The price of all stages must be recurring, but the price of the first stage is the price of the first month, and the price of the second stage is used for the following months

#

Does recurring affect the price of the first stage? Why is there no payment link in such a scenario?

Can you share the request ID (req_xxx) in text?

#

Both prices for first and second month should be recurring. With Subscription Schedule API, it will switch to next price after the first phase ends

#

Subscription Schedule API doesn't create a payment link. Only Checkout Session API does

#

With Subscription Schedule API, only Payment Element integration can be used (not Checkout Session)

#

Do you plan to use Checkout Session (Stripe hosted payment page) and Payment Element (embedded payment in your website)?

How to judge the end of the first stage

serene coyote Aug 2, 2023, 2:27 AM

#

If your price is a monthly plan, then the end of first phase will be after one month

#

That's the reason why the price has to be recurring, so that the system when the first phase will end
