Hello! No, that doesn't sound like something I'd reccommend. Can you tell me what you're trying to accomplish at a high level?

astral oasis Oct 31, 2023, 5:28 PM

#

simple saas. I want to implement premium subscription, I store users in my own db

austere sonnet Oct 31, 2023, 5:29 PM

#

Can you tell me more about what "if I make checkout (not Subscription) with subscription mode" means exactly?

astral oasis Oct 31, 2023, 5:29 PM

#

in subscription example in docs I haven't found how to determine from which user webhook came

#

checkout_session = stripe.checkout.Session.create(
    line_items=[
        {
            'price': price_id,
            'quantity': 1,
        },
    ],
    mode='subscription',
    success_url='http://localhost:3000',
    metadata={'email': user.email}
)```

#

The checkout.session.completed Event will have a customer property that indicates the Customer.

astral oasis Oct 31, 2023, 5:30 PM

#

but what if the user type another email in checkout form

#

should I use Subscription api for that simple project?

austere sonnet Oct 31, 2023, 5:33 PM

#

Usually we recommend specifying the existing Customer if they already exist.

#

When you create the Checkout Session I mean.

#

That way even if they type in a new email or something they'll still be associated with the same Customer in Stripe.

#

so I create a customer with user's email and attach it to checkout

#

I got it

#

thanks

austere sonnet Oct 31, 2023, 5:35 PM

#

Yep!

astral oasis Oct 31, 2023, 5:35 PM

#

are checkouts with mode=subscription and recurring price work like normal subscriptions and charge user automatically?

austere sonnet Oct 31, 2023, 5:35 PM

#

Yes.

astral oasis Oct 31, 2023, 5:35 PM

#

great, thank you a lot

austere sonnet Oct 31, 2023, 5:36 PM

#

Happy to help!

astral oasis Oct 31, 2023, 5:37 PM

#

am I right that I should process payment_intent.succeeded webhook?

#

and just adding 30 days to the db is a common practice

austere sonnet Oct 31, 2023, 5:38 PM

#

That depends on what your ultimate goal is. Are you trying to keep track of the Subscription status on your end?

astral oasis Oct 31, 2023, 5:40 PM

#

I want to have ability to check if user currently has a subscription

austere sonnet Oct 31, 2023, 5:40 PM

#

If you're doing monthly Subscriptions the number of days will be variable, for example, so you would probably want to listen for Events like customer.subscription.updated and look at the current period start and end values. You should review the list of Subscription-related Events here: https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/overview#subscription-events

astral oasis Oct 31, 2023, 5:40 PM

#

thanks

#

so there is no need to handle remaining days and in a simple implementation I can just listen to created and deleted

austere sonnet Oct 31, 2023, 5:43 PM

#

Probably, but it really depends on your specific needs. I recommend testing in test mode to make sure everything works as expected.
