@shell bloom usually you would use our Billing product and Subscription API so that we do everything for you. Is there a reason you are not doing that?

We are using Stripe elements

Sorry that's not an answer to my question. I'm also not able to read an entire other thread to help you, there are lots of people with other questions.
But you can use our Billing product with our Subscriptions API with Elements without issue so I don't really get your question I'm sorry

We are using the iDeal payment method, which doesn't allow us to create a subscription in advance of payment. We are instead required to create a setup intent or payment intent first, and then use that to get a sepa direct debit payment method to create the subscription with.

#

Setup intent is simple, since it doesn't require an amount, but for payment intent it looks like we'd have to calculate it manually?

#

Or should we be using a setup intent even in cases where the subscription starts immediately?

#

With PaymentIntents you have to do the whole calculation yourself, discounts, taxes, etc.
What's preventing you from using iDEAL? It works with billing_collection: 'send_invoice' which should be a good fit in this case

#

It's not for our use case. We would like for payments to continue without user interaction

#

In other words, we'd like to use charge_automatically but that's not possible. In the message I linked above it was suggested we do what I described instead.

#

you can always switch it to charge_automatically once you have the SEPA Debit PM

shell bloom
#

So start subscription with send_invoice, capture authorization and wait for webhook to confirm added payment method, and then switch to charge_automatically?

ancient breach
#

yes

Alright, we'll give that a try, thanks.
