HI 👋

This would depend on whether or not you anticipate needing to use the payment method to make a charge when the customer is not present. The "off_session" parameter indicates that you will be charging this payment method when the user is not in your checkout flow.

Right, I understand that. 🙂 Does the scenario I'm describing make sense?

full vigil Apr 15, 2024, 5:20 PM

#

yes

#

So should we use off_session since it's possible the card may be used in a Subscription at some point in the future?

#

Or is there a way to change it in the future if/when the user does set up a Subscription?

I would use off_session in your case since it gives you flexibility

Roger that! When I was reading this Stripe article (https://support.stripe.com/questions/what-is-the-difference-between-on-session-and-off-session-and-why-is-it-important) I noticed this part:

When a payment is made “on session”, the customer is present on your website or mobile application and is trying to pay you. If the payment fails, they can try again with a different payment method. If the payment requires an additional action (going through 3D Secure, being redirected to a partner like Klarna, etc.) they can go through those steps immediately to complete the payment.
This made it sound like it had an impact on 3DS and such, which made me a bit nervous.

#

Sounds like that's not the case, though?

#

I mean that article is correct. But you're actively aiming to support the same card off session in the future, so it's best to set it up right upfront

Ok! Thanks for the help as always, @full vigil ! 🙌
