@devout gust technically it mught work but if those companies refuse your application then that's likely against their ToS so they would block you as soon as they detect you it doesn't really make sense to do this

No I am talking about using stripe subscriptions

surreal nova
#

I'm not entirely sure why you're asking here if you have issues with Klarna and Alma directly though

#

I mean I understand what you mean I just don't get your question and what you're after here.

devout gust
#

I forgot the klarna, alma solutions

surreal nova
#

Not sure what those words me "you forgot the... solutions"

devout gust
#

Ok sorry, I am talking about using stripe subscriptions for a one time buy of a product

#

And be able to use the free trial feature to offer the "buy now pay after" feature

#

I mentionned Klarna and Alma to make it clear that I can't use these solutions, in case you told me to turn to them.

surreal nova
#

Gotcha so yes that works fine to offer a trial, that's what trial periods are for. Our Subscriptions renew automatically but you can cancel them after one payment

Ok thanks my question now is what would be the possible problems of diverting the use of the subscription. I mean, would my customers notice and feel that there's a scam going on somewhere?

surreal nova
#

Your customers would see what you show them. I think it's fine to use Subscriptions as a way to "defer" the first payment to later. But it's also easy for you to build this yourself with a cronjob for example

devout gust
#

For example, on the invoice will it be written "subscription"?

#

it would be really wierd for my customers

surreal nova
#

no it wouldn't

#

I'd recommend playing with the product as a developer really

devout gust
#

Yeah I am a backend developper but my eshop is powered by wordpress 🥲

#

So I am a bit limited

surreal nova
#

There are dozens of plugins and you can also write your own integration in PHP

#

Sorry but this Discord server is aimed at developers writing their own code and asking questions about their integration so I can't really help further but you can always ask our support team for help: https://support.stripe.com/contact

devout gust
#

Yeah sorry I understand, I would have said the same thing to someone who told me about wordpress. I'm ashamed 😄

#

But thanks I know it is a realistic hack now

surreal nova
#

I mean wordpress is fine, it's a PHP framework, you can easily write your own code and integrate Stripe. Would take a couple of a hours as an experienced developer

devout gust
#

And just out of personal curiosity, how can subscription offer more than 7 days to charge a customer later when feature authorization is limited by banks to 7 days?

surreal nova
#

They just don't collect any payment upfront. They collect the payment at the end of the trial and carry on the risk of not being paid

devout gust
#

So the user doesn't enter his payment details to start the free trial and be automatically debited at the end ?

surreal nova
#

you can collect card details upfront, just you don't charge their card on file until the end of the trial That's how most trials work

devout gust
#

And after to make the user pay, I have to send him a payment link for example ?

surreal nova
#

If you use our Subscriptions API it will charge automatically at the end of the trial period

devout gust
#

Ok thank you
