Hello! It sounds like you might want to use pending updates: https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/pending-updates

thanks @limpid pecan - that looks a good approach. I assume if the payment eventually succeeds the Subscription object would be sent without the pending_update hash present?

Yeah, if you use pending updates and the payment succeeds the pending updates are applied immediately, and there won't be anything in the pending_updates property.

#

I recommend you give it a try in test mode with test cards that both succeed and fail to get an idea of how it works.

#

You can, for example, attach 4000000000000341 to a Customer successfully in test mode, but then all payments will fail.
