Followup from @vernal monolith
https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/trials
we are unable to generate a client_secret when creating a subscription with a trial_period
Subscriptions with a trial will not have a PaymentIntent on their first invoice but the subscription itself will have a SetupIntent in itspending_setup_intentproperty
https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscriptions/object#subscription_object-pending_setup_intent
So you can use that intent to save your user's payment info
vernal monolith
our goal is to get the user to provide their payment info at time of creating the subscription even if there is a free trial period we are offering

``$subs_obj = $stripe->subscriptions->create([
'customer' => $stripe_cust_id,
'items' => [
[
'price_data' => [
'unit_amount' => $transaction_amt* 100, //usd to cent
'currency' => $transaction_currency,
'product' => $transaction_pro, //'prod_ODkeMOLt9GkaPZ'
'recurring' => ['interval' => $transaction_period], //'month'

$client_secret_key = $stripe->subscriptions->retrieve(
$subs_obj->id,
['expand' => ['latest_invoice.payment_intent']]
)->latest_invoice->payment_intent->client_secret;``
see the code above @river pumice please

This is what I use to get client_secret_key when there there is no need of a trail period
river pumice
Yep, it looks like what I said was relevant
You are trying to access a payment intent that does not exist
versed flare
Will the client_secret inside the pending_setup_intent will work( which i got after expanding pending_setup_intent)
river pumice
Yes, though your client will likely have to make a slightly different call than it is currently making
Like if you are using confirmPayment on the client you will need to use confirmSetup instead
versed flare
Can you help me with sample code or a supporting doc for the same

This is what I am getting when I expand pending_setup_intent
But I am unable to extract client_secret
river pumice
The 6th property listed in that screenshot is the client_secret, you should be able to use it as normal
Also you can expand pending_setup_intent in your subscription creation request to get the client secret back as part of the initial call https://stripe.com/docs/api/expanding_objects

I am not able to extract client_secret help me out
plucky stratus
👋 When you say not able to, are you seeing an error or something else? More details would help
versed flare
It gives me a null value
$subs_obj->id,
['expand' => ['pending_setup_intent']]
);
return $stripe_json->pending_setup_intent->client_secret; ```Try printing $stripe_json , does pending_setup_intent exist there?
plucky stratus
what happens if you print out $stripe_json -> pending_setup_intent
Are you seeing an obiect?
versed flare
Yes

This is what I am getting when I expand pending_setup_intent
But I am unable to ...
This is what I get
plucky stratus
Try printing out the whole string before you return it
$stripe_json->pending_setup_intent->client_secret
versed flare
returns null
plucky stratus

versed flare

And then can you provide the request ID when you retrieve the Subscription. See: https://support.stripe.com/questions/finding-the-id-for-an-api-request
versed flare
Where I can see the subscription list which has been setup under the trail period
?
fading plank
Not sure what you mean by that exactly
You want to see your trialing Subscriptions in the Dashboard?
versed flare
yes
fading plank
Don't think you can filter for just trialing but you can see the ones that are active by going to https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/subscriptions and then looking at the status badge
