I assume you get an error about address being needed when making that call?
green jolt
yes
I want to collect payment method first and try to create subscription with "automatic_tax" enabled.
But I don't want to use setup intent because it shows 0
hollow pulsar
Can you send me the request ID for that request req_1234? From your code and description I think I can find this but it can still help to have a specific request ID
If you specify allow_incomplete instead, do you still get the same error?
hollow pulsar
Can you try it now?
hollow pulsar
Thank you for trying. Still looking through docs and such, will get back to you
green jolt
Thank you 🙏

This doc makes it sound like you would need to preview the first invoice before actually creating the customer or subscription. https://docs.stripe.com/tax/subscriptions#preview-price
I know we have other flows that let you render the Payment Element before either are created, and I think they may auto-calculate the tax amount. Still looking in to this and whether it is possible to create a subscription like this before collecting someone's address info
green jolt
I can create payment intent with calculated amount without creating subscription first. But I can't connect this payment into newly created subscription.
and user will be charged again, essentially

It is possible to give the user credit for that previous payment to make the first invoice amount 0, but I am not sure if that is necessary here
green jolt
this sounds hacky. Also there should be invoice with line items etc...
hollow pulsar
Yeah, but unfortunately it is looking like we need one of these workarounds for the moment. I was wrong that elements could automatically do this for the other flow. So it looks like previewing the final amount or confirming an intent and then creating a subscription where the first month is free would be the best ways to go here with Stripe's current capabilities around Subscriptions + Automatic Tax + Elements
