hi! do you have an example of a Subscription sub_xxx where you see this, so I can understand what kind of API calls you're making?

[rain plinth]

Yes, sorry I was looking for it. Here is a subscription sub_1OU8fDF9R6Nkg8poxB31TKFA

[heavy crypt]

well in this case you pass payment_behavior: "default_incomplete" so it's expected that no payment is attempted and the subscription is incomplete

the next step would be to attempt a payment, generally the safe way to do that is to pass the PaymentIntent client_secret (from latest_invoice.payment_intent) to the frontend and call https://stripe.com/docs/js/payment_intents/confirm_card_payment#stripe_confirm_card_payment-existing with the ID of the default PM

or call https://stripe.com/docs/api/invoices/pay#pay_invoice-payment_method

Is doing one PaymentIntent enough for subscriptions or should I make it each month ?

[heavy crypt]

each Invoice (which the Subscription creates each month) creates a PaymentIntent; recurring Invoices(i.e. not the first one) charge the default card automatically

[rain plinth]

Okay thank you

[heavy crypt]

for the first payment generally you're triggering this from the customer checking out on your site or clicking a button so usually you pass the PaymentIntent to the frontend to complete payment that way(which then activate the incomplete subscription); recurring payments happen automatically after that
