The above guide is for one-time payment
For subscription integration, you should follow this guide: https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/build-subscriptions?ui=elements
stone dew
so people using google and apple pay cannot create subscriptions ?
what if instead of creating a payment intent in this flow (step 4), I created a subscription ? https://stripe.com/docs/payments/accept-a-payment-deferred?platform=web&type=payment#web-fulfillment

User can use Apple Pay and Google Pay for subscriptions
stone dew
how ?
dark jay
https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/build-subscriptions?ui=elements supports Apple Pay and Google Pay with Payment Element integration
Payment Element will render Apple Pay or Google Pay if the device supports it
As mentioned earlier, deferred intent flow is for one-time payment, not subscriptions
stone dew
we'd like to display the payment element before creating a subscription (in case the customer wants to select a different plan before subscribing)
how do we display the payment element before creating the subscription ?
dark jay
You can follow this guide to create a payment method from Step 1 to Step 4: https://stripe.com/docs/payments/build-a-two-step-confirmation
The use Subscriptions Creation API and set the default_payment_method to the payment_method collected earlier: https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscriptions/create#create_subscription-default_payment_method
stone dew
and since the subscription itself creates a payment intent, I use that payment intent to process the (google /apple) payment, correct ?
so back to my original question, do I create the subscription before calling confirmPayment() ?
here, I'd replace the step 4(create payment intent) with subscription creation, and then finally call confirmPayment ,correct ? https://stripe.com/docs/payments/accept-a-payment-deferred?platform=web&type=payment#web-fulfillment
dark jay
Yes, the subscription should be created before calling the payment intent and use its client secret to confirm it
stone dew
and should it be created before the call to confirmpayment ? logically it should be but I just want to be sure
dark jay
yes
stone dew
do I still need to call payment intent after creating a subscription ? or can I simply access the client secret through the payment intent object that is nested in the subscription object ?

Taking over here. You don't need to create an intent after the subscription creation no. We'll generate the relevant intent (payment/setup) dependent on parameters
