Hello

[light meadow]

Hi!

[timid sapphire]

So your goal here is to clean up Customers that attempt to start a Subscription through Stripe Checkout but the initial payment fails?

[light meadow]

Ideally, I would keep the customer existing, but I would not that their subscription is past due in my internal storage so that I can direct them to update their payment on my site.

But I can't update my internal storage without associating the customer with my internal id

[timid sapphire]

Hmm in this case though the Subscription won't be past_due

It will be incomplete

In which case there is only a 23 hour window for it to move to active otherwise it moves to incomplete_expired

But if you want to track this then you can listen for the customer.subscription.updated Webhook for when a Subscription's status is incomplete

Ah actually sorry that Webhook wouldn't fire

It would only be customer.subscription.created

As that is the initial status here

That Webhook would contain the Customer ID that you are looking for

See: https://dashboard.stripe.com/events/evt_1P1nQCLWH9R7Hhsv1OIhUzRE

For any webhook, though, I update my internal state by looking up my internal customer object via the stripe_customer_id. However, without checkout.session.completed, I cannot tie my internal id to the created stripe customer id

session_params = {
"line_items": [
{
"price": price_id,
"quantity": 1,
}
],
"mode": "subscription",
"success_url": "https://doinksports.com?subscribed=true",
"cancel_url": "https://doinksports.com?canceled=true",
"automatic_tax": {"enabled": True},
"phone_number_collection": {"enabled": True},
"metadata": {"user_id": request.user["uid"]},
}

^^ my checkout session params. I use this metadata field

[timid sapphire]

Your other option in that case is to create the Customer ID before redirecting to Checkout

And then pass that Customer ID to the customer parameter for the Checkout Session

Then you have the Customer ID up front and can store it in your database

[light meadow]

Ohh ok. Makes sense. Thank you!
