hi, that is not the right way to integrate, as you say it leads to two auths
you would follow https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/build-subscriptions?ui=elements , which involves creating an incomplete subscription and then confirming the PaymentIntent that its first Invoice creates, to process the first payment and save the card.

The problem is we also use iDeal/google wallet/apple pay
and then that method you sent through does not work
stable turtle
it definitely works for Google/Apple Pay at least
silk pendant
Also had issues with that parts of docs because we have everything as a one-pager, so creating a user in our backend comes from the same click button as the payment
stable turtle
it's technically possible to use https://stripe.com/docs/payments/accept-a-payment-deferred to let you mount and display the PaymentElement without creating anything on the backend, and then you create the Subscription and get + return the PaymentIntent client_secret, when the button is clicked; we just don't document that exact flow right now
but should work
silk pendant
yes but that is the part that does not work with certain payment methods
(trying to find the docs on it again)
stable turtle
yes I know a few methods don't work with it
I don't have a better answer than to special case those and use the SetupIntent -> Subscription Create flow instead, only for them. The area is really messy unfortuantely(much easiser if you use Checkout instead)

I am thinking to go that way only for iDeal/applepay&googlewallet, and then the other method for card
it becomes really convoluted process however
stable turtle
I am thinking to go that way only for iDeal/applepay&googlewallet, and then the ...
not sure why you mention apple/google, those work perfectly with this flow and are the exact same as cards
but yes for some methods like iDEAL you'd have to special case unfortuantely yes, as I said I don't think I have a better answer

I can't find the list of the paymentmethodtypes that work with mode subscription where I found out iDeal wasn't supported this way
do you know where in the docs I could find this? I thought it was the elements options
stable turtle
I don't think we list them unfortuantely
silk pendant
you definitely do somewhere
stable turtle
if you find them let me know!
silk pendant
I am looking for them now, but we have no way of knowing whether the user will pay with ideal or card before loading the payment elements, bit of an issue as the creation of the elements needs to be different (setupintent secret for ideal vs mode=subscription for cards)
stable turtle
yeah it's problematic I agree, usually I just use Checkout and avoid all this
I'm not convinced iDEAL doesn't work with this flow though, but I have no bandwidth to test anything right now. If it is the case then probably you should opt out of our automatic payment method selection and instead explicitly use https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscriptions/create?lang=dotnet#create_subscription-payment_settings-payment_method_types to create the Subscription with methods you want
