Stripe supports the use of JavaScript on the front-end but requires server-side code for other APIs.
What are you trying to achieve?
rugged lantern
what I mentioned on "wonghoitun-sub-pricing"
Me: simply - is there a way to charge clients on yearly subscription, but collect a fixed amount of money monthly for 12 months,
say $150 for monthly subscription, simple, then the subscription will charge my client 150$ per month
but I want to offer a more discounted pricing if they commit to one year, so that will be $100 per month for 12 months, is there a way I can acheive that on Stripe?
codename_duchess answer Today at 12:12 AM:
Yeah you can do that
Just need to set a cancel_at date on the subscription at the year marker
And use a lower price
rich mica
Okay yes these are parameters you would need to set on a server. You cannot create a Subscription from client-side JavaScript
rugged lantern
so this is what I have found on Framer
does it mean we cannot achieve what I want on Framer?
rich mica
Correct
rugged lantern
is there an alternative way I can achieve that?
Cos I want to be able to charge my client a certain fee for a fixed period of time, say 12 months
rugged lantern
how to use payment links?
rich mica
rugged lantern
can I just set up a link that can achieve what I want and link the bottom on my website to that "payment link"?
we are already using the payment link method, but I dont seem to be able to achieve certain monthly fee for a fixed period of time, say 12 months
rich mica
You first have to create a Price that collects fees monthly. However, this will create a Subscription that will not automatically cancel. You will need to update that yourself.
The only way to achieve the full flow you want requires writing server-side code.
rugged lantern
server-side code is achieved on Stripe, and not related to Framer (the website builder) right?
rich mica
No
You would need to write server-side code on a server you own. Framer does not allow for this so you could not use that tool
rugged lantern
but when I asked if there is an alternative way, you mentioned:
Build your own website with a server
Or use Payment Links
so in my case, I also cannot use payment links?
rich mica
You can use payment links but it won't create a subscription that will cancel after 12 months. You would need to modify the subscripton after it is created to ensure it cancels properly
rugged lantern
I dont need it to cancel after 12 months
My question is:
To achieve fixed monthly fee for a certain no. of months on Framer, which does not allow server side code.
Can I do that through payment links?
rich mica
for a certain no. of months
This means you need a subscription that will cancel after 12 months
And no, that isn't possible with Framer from what I can see
rugged lantern
soo when I asked "is there an alternative way I can achieve that?
Cos I want to be able to charge my client a certain fee for a fixed period of time, say 12 months"
And you reply:

Payment Links is not an alternative way, I cannot achieve that
rich mica
Not exactly. I told you, you would need to manually update the Subscription the Payment LInk creates so that it would cancel after 12 months.
But then you could use a Price that charges $150 every month with a Payment Link
That would create a Subscription for every customer that completed the checkout process but it would not automatically stop after 12 months. That is the part you would need to do manually
