It's important for the subscription to not start until the payment has been done

#

👋 happy to help, will be right with you shortly

Also, I just created a free (with a coupon) subscription on the test env, to send to a customer email for it to be paid - but I am not receiving any emails from stripe

#

Ok so just to be more clear. We want to do some beta testing and offer a one month subscription for some of our users.
I need guidance on:

  • how to create a free subscription that is available only for a set of users
  • how to make sure they can go into checkout - get the subscription for free - but in order to do that they have to fill shipping details info
  • how to make sure that the subscription will be cancelled automatically after 1 month.
#

What I thought:

  • create a coupon for 100% free
  • create a subscription for the user and apply the coupon
  • the subscription should not be active until the user pays for the sub (with the coupon applied)
  • the user CAN NOT pay for the subscription unless shipping info is applied
  • once the subscription is paid and shipping info is collected - user will get the subscription activated.
  • the checkout should be sent as URL on user's email

give me one minute to read through your messages

in test mode Stripe doesn't automatically send emails

#

how to make sure they can go into checkout
do you mean Stripe Checkout?

#

the subscription should not be active until the user pays for the sub (with the coupon applied)
that doesn't make sense since the coupon is for 100% so there won't be anything to be paid

  • how can I send emails in test mode?
  • stripe check-out, yes
  • let's suppose then I create 100% off coupon that the user has to use it on checkout

I think for your use-case the best way to approach it is to do the following

#

1- create a payment link https://stripe.com/docs/payment-links/create
2- instead of using a coupon, you can put the subscription on a free trial https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/trials (https://stripe.com/docs/api/payment_links/payment_links/create#create_payment_link-subscription_data-trial_period_days)
3- you can then share the payment link however you like (https://stripe.com/docs/payment-links/share)
4- you can collect the billing_address https://stripe.com/docs/api/payment_links/payment_links/create#create_payment_link-billing_address_collection (pass in required)
5- create a webhook endpoint and listen to the checkout.session.completed event (https://stripe.com/docs/payments/checkout/fulfill-orders)
if the Checkout Session object has a subscription ID, you can then update the subscription to mark it to be canceled at period end (https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscriptions/update#update_subscription-cancel_at_period_end )

Is there any way or parameter when creating a checkout session to automatically cancel a subscription after x days?

not with payment links
