Yeah. Can you elaborate on exactly what you're trying to do though?

#

So I have a remote customer. I want to set up a subscription...however the only two options are manually

#

use paymnet on file

#

I don't want to have to call them to get the CC info

#

Look at: https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/build-subscriptions

Build a subscriptions integration

Create and manage subscriptions to accept recurring payments.

torpid marten Aug 25, 2023, 2:22 PM

#

ok so Stripe Can't handle this directly then I need to build a code solution...

winged arrow Aug 25, 2023, 2:23 PM

#

Oh you're looking for a 0 code solution

#

We have payment links

#

https://stripe.com/docs/payment-links

Payment links

Sell online without building a digital storefront.

torpid marten Aug 25, 2023, 2:25 PM

#

ok suggestion...when I'm in the "Create a subscription" screen it should have the option to just do the payment link thing

#

is the payment link a one time thing or a subscription signup?

winged arrow Aug 25, 2023, 2:28 PM

#

Payment link is a link you send your customer to to sign up for a subscription

#

No. Creating a sub from the dashboard is very different from sending a payment link to a customer to create a sub

torpid marten Aug 25, 2023, 2:30 PM

#

yes and no...I was trying to sign up a customer to a subscription..not create one... the screen shot I sent you was assigning the subscription to a customer... the only two options were use card on file or manual. There needs to be an option for "If no card on file send Payment link to start subscription payment"

#

If using payment links you shouldn't create sub in the dashboard

#

You should just send the customer payment link

#

Then a sub will be created for them once payment is successful

torpid marten Aug 25, 2023, 2:31 PM

#

What if they use a different email than than customer I set up I've already taken a fixed invoice from them

#

At a minimum the payment link page should allow a fixed email to be filled in to link this request to an existing user account

You could pass a url param: https://stripe.com/docs/payment-links/url-parameters#streamline-reconciliation-with-a-url-parameter

Track Payment Links

Learn how to track Payment Links and related campaigns with URL parameters and UTM codes.

torpid marten Aug 25, 2023, 2:35 PM

#

Again this is a Code solution...

winged arrow Aug 25, 2023, 2:36 PM

#

What you're trying to do isn't doable without code. Customer reconciliation will require some minimal amount of code

torpid marten Aug 25, 2023, 2:42 PM

#

ok again suggestion...offer the ability from the subscription page to make the first subscription "ask" if there is no card on file a "signup" to the customer. In addition the "parameters" you can put in the link like auto fill of the email address should be in the GUI As well...

I can feature request this, but no guarantees on when/if it'll be implemented
