This is possible. After creating the subscription with 7-day trial, pending_setup_intent will be available that can be used to collect the payment method details: https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscriptions/object#subscription_object-pending_setup_intent

The steps will be:

1. Create the subscription with trial and expand pending_setup_intent field: https://stripe.com/docs/api/expanding_objects
2. Use the Setup Intent client secret to collect the payment method details: https://stripe.com/docs/payments/save-and-reuse?platform=web&ui=elements#collect-payment-details

A pretty standard flow..

1. User registers
2. Create subscription with a price_id

const subscription = await this.stripe.subscriptions.create({
      customer: customer.id,
      items: [{ price }],
      collection_method: 'charge_automatically',
      trial_period_days,
      trial_settings: { end_behavior: { missing_payment_method: 'cancel' } },
      payment_settings: { save_default_payment_method: 'on_subscription' },
      cancel_at_period_end: true,
      metadata: { email },
    });

Would I then create a payment intent? or should I avoid using the subscriptions api and creating one after successfully getting their payment information?

With trial, payment intent will not be created, but pending_setup_intent will

[covert igloo]

so if I use a trial there's no way on getting their payment information?

You can use the pending_setup_intent of the subscription to collect the payment method

[covert igloo]

what comes first

• a subscription
• a setup intent
  ?

https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscriptions/object?lang=node#subscription_object-pending_setup_intent you can get a pending_setup_intent from a subscription that doesn't require payment. You don't need to create a seperate setupIntent

[covert igloo]

something like this, right?

const subscription = await this.stripe.subscriptions.create({
      customer: customer.id,
      items: [{ price }],
      collection_method: 'charge_automatically',
      trial_period_days,
      trial_settings: { end_behavior: { missing_payment_method: 'cancel' } },
      payment_settings: { save_default_payment_method: 'on_subscription' },
      cancel_at_period_end: true,
      metadata: { email },
      expand: ['pending_setup_intent'],
    });

where I expand the pending_setup_intent object to get it back from the stripe response

[ionic socket]

Do you know howo to use SetupIntent to collect a payment method?
