Hi there!

We recommend using Subscriptions if you have recurring payments, like every week or every month. Is this the case here?

[summer pike]

Not really it's like you take the scooter from one point to another and you pay

But can we use tiered pricing without subscription?

[short scaffold]

Using Subscriptions for this seems way to complex. Once the user finished renting the scooter, compute how much they need to pay, and create a PaymentIntent for that amount with the exising payment method.

This is possible to use tiered pricing with stripe doing calculation or I need to calculate myself?

[short scaffold]

you mean usage based pricing? This is only for subscriptoins.

[summer pike]

So If I made this type of price meaning the first hour is 0.20$/min and 1$ then 0.15$/min. I need to calculate it in my backend and create a paymentIntent with the total price?

I didn't found how we can use tiered pricing without that but I can compute it in the backend

Yes that seems like the simplest option. Handling Subscriptions can be tricky and don't make sense if you only have a single payment.

Can I just have more info on the bailing I made?
Will it work if exemple my user has 500$
The the bail I made is 400$
And the user rent another before the 7 days I reapply a bail of 400$. Did I need to cancel the old one?

[short scaffold]

I'm sorry I don't understand you question. What "my user has 500$" means? "cancel" what exactly?

[summer pike]

Hold on check if the user has money right?

[short scaffold]

Can you re-explain step by step your question?

[summer pike]

I mean I apply a hold to get money in case the user damage the scooter.

If I apply multiple hold on the card would it work if he has only 500$

Hi! I'm taking over from my colleague. Please, give me a moment to catch up.

The hold will expire in 7 days, you can apply it again after.

[summer pike]

I mean I made a first hold on of 400$ and then my user make another rental and I reapply another hold on of 400$ before the 7 days. Would it work if my user has only 500$ on his account for exemple?

[fluid tundra]

No, they will need to have at least $800 (400+400)

You can check if a given payment method has a hold on it and not apply it until it expires.

You can save it in your database or save the timestamp in PaymentMethod.metadata: https://stripe.com/docs/api/payment_intents/update#update_payment_intent-metadata

[summer pike]

Is it better to remove the hold on and recreate one to extend time we can take it ?

If he has already one

[fluid tundra]

That's also possible.

It just might take some time for the hold to release.

[summer pike]

Thank you very much, have a good day

Happy to help!
You too.
