I am talking about the subscription
charred lodge
Hello! Can you provide more details? Are you asking about how to collect payment info up front when the trial starts without charging them until later, or are you asking about how to collect payment info later after the trial ends?

Suppose we give 14 days trial to customer if that card need confirmation from client but initially we are not charging to customer. Then how to handle this case
charred lodge
The Subscription has a pending_setup_intent you can use to set their card up for future use: https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscriptions/object#subscription_object-pending_setup_intent

Have a look at the Free trial tab here: https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/designing-integration#subscription-models

If we given trial to customer then what we have to do actually I have default payment method already but how to confirm client secret as it's trial
charred lodge
When you create a Subscription with a trial it will have a pending_setup_intent. That Setup Intent will have a client secret.
fervent wedge
We can confirm that from client side right ?
charred lodge
Yes.
fervent wedge
Can you share code how to confirm that client secret if we are giving initially trial
charred lodge
There's example code here, in our Setup Intents guide: https://stripe.com/docs/payments/save-and-reuse
fervent wedge
When we actually subscribed to subscription then also will get client secret right
charred lodge
Each Subscription period an Invoice will be created. If the Invoice requires payment it will create a Payment Intent, and each of those Payment Intents will have a client secret. However, for Subscriptions, what usually happens is that those Payment Intents are automatically paid without you or your customer having to do anything.
charred lodge
Yes, to set up their payment info for future use.
fervent wedge
Ya that only i am saying so if we added trial initially while creating a subscription them also can we confirm client secret manually from front end for first time ?
charred lodge
From the Setup Intent you mean?
fervent wedge
Yes?
In subscription object will get payment intent object right
Inside that we have client secret
charred lodge
Yeah, that one is confirmed client-side by the customer typically.
No, you won't get a Payment Intent.
Payment Intents are for when payment is required.
A Subscription with a free trial is free. There's no payment required.
In that case you'll use the Setup Intent inside pending_setup_intent instead.
A Setup Intent is for collecting and setting up payment info for future use without immediate payment.
The Payment Intents come later, after the trial ends and there's actually something to pay.
fervent wedge
Will get all info in subscription object
charred lodge
What is "all info"?
