Hey @bright depot I don't understand what you call a "normal transaction". Can you give me an example of what someone pays today versus in a month?

bright depot Apr 18, 2024, 4:46 PM

#

Normal transasction means one time transaction.

#

want to do one time transaction and at the same time start recurring from next month

lucid minnow Apr 18, 2024, 4:47 PM

#

I'm really sorry but I don't get what that could mean.
If you charge me $10 today and then $10 in one month, then really you are starting a $10/month recurring subscription right now

bright depot Apr 18, 2024, 4:48 PM

#

Suppose I want to charge user $10 as one time payment but from next month want to start recurring of $50 which will be for one year subscritpion

#

$10 will be one time payment not recurring.

lucid minnow Apr 18, 2024, 4:49 PM

#

Would this be kind of a "paid trial"? Like you pay $10 now for a trial of the $50/year subscription?

bright depot Apr 18, 2024, 4:49 PM

#

Kind of same.

lucid minnow Apr 18, 2024, 4:50 PM

#

Okay so what you want to do is start the Subscription and its trial really immediately and you can have a "one-off invoiceItem" for that $10 fee. How to do this depends how you integrate. Do you use Checkout or the Subscriptions API directly?

#

bright depot Apr 18, 2024, 4:51 PM

#

Subscription API

lucid minnow Apr 18, 2024, 4:51 PM

#

Okay so you want https://docs.stripe.com/billing/invoices/subscription#first-invoice-extra

bright depot Apr 18, 2024, 4:54 PM

#

add_invoice_items: [
{
price: '{{PRICE_ID}}',
},
],

#

is it?

lucid minnow Apr 18, 2024, 4:55 PM

#

yes

#

try it in Test mode!

bright depot Apr 18, 2024, 4:55 PM

#

waht to pass as PRICE_ID?

lucid minnow Apr 18, 2024, 4:56 PM

#

the id of a Price that represents that $10.

bright depot Apr 18, 2024, 4:57 PM

#

Do I need to crate price like same

const price = await stripe.prices.create(
      {
        unit_amount: intAmount,
        currency: currency.toLowerCase(),
        recurring: { interval: "month" },
        product: product.id,
      },
      {
        stripeAccount: stripeAcId,
      }
    );

lucid minnow Apr 18, 2024, 4:58 PM

#

yes

#

I mean not recurring since it's a one-time, but otherwise yes

bright depot Apr 18, 2024, 4:59 PM

#

So need to create product also ?

#

So there will be 2 product and 2 price?

lucid minnow Apr 18, 2024, 5:01 PM

#

yes

#

you are clearly charging for different things here so it's important to model them as their own Product and Price

bright depot Apr 18, 2024, 5:02 PM

#

Okay got it. But how long that $10 will be charged. How can I manage that?

#

I want to charge $10 for 1 month and $50 for remaining months

lucid minnow Apr 18, 2024, 5:06 PM

#

Please try it first, I can see you're confused and just seeing the subscription should help.
The $10 is charged once as a one-time fee, then the Subscription would be on a trial period until next month where it would charge $50 each month. That's exactly what you described I think

bright depot Apr 18, 2024, 5:10 PM

#

Yes I want same.

#

But as I read document:
Add an extra charge on a subscription’s first invoice
Include a one-time charge to the first subscription invoice using add_invoice_items:

lucid minnow Apr 18, 2024, 5:12 PM

#

yes but you're doing a trial period

bright depot Apr 18, 2024, 5:12 PM

#

Isn't it like first month $50 + $10 then remaining month only $50?

lucid minnow Apr 18, 2024, 5:12 PM

#

really just try it as a developer, this will be much faster

Trying

charged same $50

const product = await stripe.products.create(product_name, {
stripeAccount: bank_info.stripe_account_id,
});

      const product_1 = await stripe.products.create(product_name, {

Hello! I'm taking over and catching up...

bright depot Apr 18, 2024, 5:17 PM

#

// Create subscription
const subscription = await stripe.subscriptions.create(
{
customer: customer.id,
items: [{ price: price.id }],
add_invoice_items: [
{
price: price_1.id,
},
],
payment_behavior: "default_incomplete",
payment_settings: {
save_default_payment_method: "on_subscription",
},
expand: ["latest_invoice.payment_intent"],
application_fee_percent: +service_fee,
cancel_at: sub_end_date,
description: title,
},
{
stripeAccount: bank_info.stripe_account_id,
}
);

lucid minnow Apr 18, 2024, 5:18 PM

#

you forgot to do the trial like I explained.

#

and really: try it on your own account with Connect first, look at the real Subscription and the resulting Invoice in the Dashboard to understand it.

#

(leaving to Rubeus, just nudging you to try things slowly to grasp them)

bright depot Apr 18, 2024, 5:19 PM

#

Where to add trial?

small bobcat Apr 18, 2024, 5:20 PM

#

There are several parameters you can choose from to add a trial when creating a Subscription: https://docs.stripe.com/api/subscriptions/create#create_subscription-trial_end

bright depot Apr 18, 2024, 5:28 PM

#

pi_3P6yjxDBfYojrB0W1OtfMGc5

#

Sir, Can you please check will this trial run for 30 days and then regular payment of $50 will start

small bobcat Apr 18, 2024, 5:29 PM

#

Yep, looks like it.

#

You can confirm the behavior over time by using a Test Clock: https://docs.stripe.com/billing/testing/test-clocks

bright depot Apr 18, 2024, 5:32 PM

#

Yes sir. I did test clock

#

next payment has been of $50

small bobcat Apr 18, 2024, 5:33 PM

#

And what's what you wanted, right?

bright depot Apr 18, 2024, 5:36 PM

#

Yes sir.

#

Done whatever I wanted

#

Thank you so much for your help

small bobcat Apr 18, 2024, 5:36 PM

We're happy to have helped you!

bright depot Apr 18, 2024, 5:36 PM
