Hello

This is for Subscriptions with a trial?

Oh you said with a promo code

So same idea

Then yeah, it is up to you really for what you consider "subscribed"

[cedar cargo]

Actually, you are correct - it's with a trial. Sorry!

[tiny dagger]

But setup_intent.succeeded would indicate that you successfully collected a PaymentMethod from them

So there will be an actual payment attempt when the trial ends.

[cedar cargo]

Would there ever be an instance where I had setup_intent.succeeded but the actual payment would fail?

[tiny dagger]

The renewal payment that occurs at the trial end? Yes, certainly possible.

[cedar cargo]

ok. One more question - during renewal, would I again get a setup_intent.succeeded, or is that only when the user fills out the form (Stripe Elements payment attempt)?

[tiny dagger]

That is only when the SetupIntent is confirmed (so yes when you collect Card details via Stripe Elements)

On renewal you want to listen for customer.subscription.updated

That will indicate what happened with the Subscription -- you look at the status to know if the payment failed

[cedar cargo]

Oh I see... I had just been looking at invoice.payment_succeeded and renewing our customers based on that

[tiny dagger]

That does work too

Just a different route

But yeah that can get confusing with regards to the initial Invoice

[cedar cargo]

Ok - thank you very much - this helps!

[tiny dagger]

Sure thing
