Yes it is. Because of that, we reccommend doing a PaymentIntent with setup_future_usage if you both want to take a payment and save the card

#

The only case I have to create a setupIntent is if I put a trial on a subscription ?
I have lot of pain to understand the differences

Yep, that is a good usecase for them.

SetupIntents are for if you just want to save a card but there is no payment right now. PaymentIntents are for when you want to take a payment right now, whether or not you want to save the card.

#

Okay so, if I have a trial period, it's not possible to do a PaymentIntent ?

lethal canopy Oct 19, 2023, 7:02 PM

#

Correct, if there is no payment you cannot use a payment intent

sturdy fern Oct 19, 2023, 7:02 PM

#

BUT

#

Imagine I have in the basket, a subscription with trial, and products

#

PaymentIntent will works ?

#

So if I have to resume :

if there is only a subscription AND if there is a trial period = SetupIntent
every other case who implies an instant payment = PaymentIntent

Am I right ?

Correct, if you have a subscription with a trial, you will want to use a SetupIntent. If you have a subscription with a payment up front, you will want to use the Subscription's first invoice's PaymentIntent

#

So if I have a subscription with trial, AND products.
I do a payment intents, and the user will pay only for the products, and subscription later

lethal canopy Oct 19, 2023, 7:13 PM

#

Correct, if there is an upfront fee, the first invoice on the subscription will have a PaymentIntent that you should use to take that payment

#

A SetupIntent is only for cases when there is no payment at all to be made right now

sturdy fern Oct 19, 2023, 7:14 PM

#

And I will have to pay the fees 2 times if the payment is split ?

lethal canopy Oct 19, 2023, 7:15 PM

#

Correct, fees will be on each payment. If you want, you can have the starting fee happen after the trial along with the first recurring payment

#

There is a parameter when creating an invoice called add_invoice_items that will add things as one-time invoice items. I think they would add this to the trial invoice though

#

To add them to the invoice after the trial, I think you would want to create the subscription and then make the "Create invoice item" API call for each item that you want on the next invoice and pass the ID of the subscription that you just created https://stripe.com/docs/api/invoiceitems/create#create_invoiceitem-subscription
