Hi! Let me help you with this.

It depends how exactly the Subscription gets cancelled, but you can always listen to customer.subscription.updated: https://stripe.com/docs/api/events/types#event_types-customer.subscription.updated

[simple juniper]

Second question: can I somehow disable the invocies for the subscriptions? The customer don't want to get the invocies. Not for the first and also not for the second, third, ...

[fleet narwhal]

And check for status attribute.

[simple juniper]

what about the creation?

[fleet narwhal]

You mean disable the sending of Invoices?

[fleet narwhal]

https://stripe.com/docs/api/events/types#event_types-customer.subscription.created

[simple juniper]

yeah

[simple juniper]

ah thats easy. Can I then just use these two events:

https://stripe.com/docs/api/events/types#event_types-customer.subscription.created
Whenever it's created AND paid?

https://stripe.com/docs/api/events/types#event_types-customer.subscription.deleted
Whenever it's canceled, or unpaid, ... no more payments?

[fleet narwhal]

created AND paid
It depends how you create the Subscription, it might be in the pending state. Still customer.subscription.updated is the best choice.

It's best to listen to all of those events, and then just check the status attribute in all handlers.

[simple juniper]

yeah, I think so too, but for me it's a little confusing, what I should do with all of these events: incomplete, incomplete_expired, trialing, active, past_due, canceled, or unpaid

For me the only thing thats important: when I get money, I can read that and be able to do something and the same thing for when I won't get money. All the other things are covered with this setting. You know what I mean? But what kind of status should I listen to?

It would help me if you just say

%status%: add to customer (when money comes)
%status%: remove from customer (when no more money comes)

[fleet narwhal]

I would suggest also listening to invoice.paid for successful attempts and invoice.payment_failed.

[simple juniper]

then I would listen to ALL invoices, right?

[fleet narwhal]

How are you creating the Subscription? With collection_method: charge_automatically? https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscriptions/create#create_subscription-collection_method

[fleet narwhal]

Yes, but you can check if it has subscription property in the payload.

[simple juniper]

with a paymentlink, that belongs to a price

I don't want to use invoices. I would like to not send them to the customer. Can I somehow do that? Not the first invoice, not the second, ...

[simple juniper]

I just read this: When the status of a subscription changes to canceled or unpaid, you revoke access to your product.
Is there such a description also for "grant access to the product now"?

[fleet narwhal]

Sorry, I think Discord had some issues, we're back now.

[simple juniper]

I think so too, my messages are delayed... 🤔

[fleet narwhal]

Invoices are created by a Subscription, but you can opt-out from sending them to the Customer. Do you mean the payment receipts actually?

[fleet narwhal]

When the status is active, you can grant access to your product.

[simple juniper]

yes both. I don't want to send anything to the customer. Maybe the "hey your subscription is now active" or something like that, but nothing with any payment stuff

[simple juniper]

alright, and that will be called when the customer created the subscription and paid, right?

[fleet narwhal]

You need to disable receipts from your Dashboard then: https://dashboard.stripe.com/settings/emails

[fleet narwhal]

Yes, that will be the status.

[simple juniper]

I would disable all emails also for normal paymentintents, right?

[simple juniper]

and I would listen what you mentioned customer.subscription.updated right?

[fleet narwhal]

Yes

[fleet narwhal]

Yes

[simple juniper]

ok, 2 questions:

1. Can I disable them ONLY for the subscription?
2. Can I somehow add the payment method "SEPA" ONLY to this subscription? When I click on "configure" at the subscription in the dashboard then I will be ask to activate it in the payment methods. But my normal API integrated payment intents should not be able to use SEPA

[fleet narwhal]

1. No, unfortunately.
2. You can configure the allowed payment methods with payment_method_types parameter: https://stripe.com/docs/api/payment_links/payment_links/create#create_payment_link-payment_method_types

[simple juniper]

2. sounds great. That will overwrite the setting from the dashboard when it's not activated in the dashboard?

[fleet narwhal]

Yes

[simple juniper]

nice, you helped me a lot, thanks!

[fleet narwhal]

Happy to help!
