@elfin pelican I would always recommend using PaymentElement (the first one) it's wayyyy more powerful and offers more than just card

elfin pelican
Okay, gotcha, know there are some question I wanted to ask you
Can I create it without clientsecret?
Basically what if I want to give a trial on subscription in that case I don't get a client_secret
toxic heron
So yes we support an integration path without a client_secret and it's documented here: https://stripe.com/docs/payments/accept-a-payment-deferred?platform=web&type=subscription
Basically what if I want to give a trial on subscription in that case I don't get a client_secret
That's not correct! You misunderstood a small thing (that is hard to grasp at first). If you have a trial period then the first Invoices is for $0 so there's no PaymentIntent. But instead the Subscription would havepending_setup_intent: 'seti_123'which is a SetupIntent and that one has its ownclient_secret
elfin pelican
Okay, thanks for the clarification, I really appericate that
I wasn't able to get the setupintent, can you please tell where I can read the setupintent docs?
toxic heron
Do you have an example Subscription id I can look at?
elfin pelican
Of trial?
toxic heron
yes
elfin pelican
Here you go! sub_1OwClcJX5V9XswsNwPzvnzFh
Quick question is the document incorrect for response, The docs says return jsonify(type='setup', clientSecret=subscription.pending_setup_intent.client_secret)
But when I'm printing the data I'm getting it with subscription.pending_setup_intent, there is not client_secret
Leave this i was missing pending_setup_intent in expand, so this is sorted now
toxic heron
Okay so look at https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/logs/req_sSLgkgdJbnDl1x which is the API Request that created it.
You can see your code is using the Expand feature to get the Invoice in latest_invoice and its PaymentIntent in the payment_intent proeprty right?
elfin pelican
Okay so look at <https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/logs/req_sSLgkgdJbnDl1x> whic...
Yes
Also, it's null
toxic heron
yep but you understand the Expand feature and what it does right? (If not I want to explain it first)
elfin pelican
Yeah
I understood that
There are a lot of stuff to understand to play with stripe 😅
toxic heron
Okay perfect so now look at that request I shared and you should see pending_setup_intent: "seti_1OwClcJX5V9XswsNxyMMpLYO",
basically you don't have a PaymentIntent on that Invoice so we create a SetupIntent for you that lets you collect card details (and other payment methods) for future payments.
The problem is that you forgot to expand that pending_setup_intent
if you change your code to expand both pending_setup_intent and latest_invoice.payment_intent you can then look at each one to see which is non null and has a client_secret
Does that make sense?
elfin pelican
Yeah, that's done I'm getting the response too
Now there was a error in front end
Was using confirmPayment and when I get a seti_*****_secret**** I need to use confirmSetup correct?
toxic heron
correct. It's super annoying and I dislike that (and keep pushing internally) but right now you have to know whether it's a PaymentIntent or SetupIntent and call the right one
elfin pelican
Yeah, had to add if confition to make it settle for now, but thanks for the help
I have few more question
toxic heron
sure
elfin pelican
All the black box, I want to remove them, so can you please walk me through how I can achieve that?
toxic heron
Okay so first I will say you shouldn't. Supporting more than just card is a huge feature that will likely increase your overall revenue/conversion.
now with that said, you can configure which options to offer in the Dashboard here https://dashboard.stripe.com/settings/billing/invoice?tab=general at the bottom of that page you can configure the payment methods to accept for Invoices and Subscriptions
toxic heron
yes
