What particular part of what you describe are you struggling with?

Hello!

#

I am making checkout sessions but there are only cards listed. I looked in the docs and it seems checkout sessions for subscriptions cannot have something like eps?

#

I don't know how to set up a checkout session that offers something like EPS and then just starts the subscription without a payment method, where at the end of the billing period stripe just sends an invoice

#

Is there any way to offer a user the possibility to instead get an invoice that they can pay with eps?

quick bluff
#

Not with Checkout no

#

You've a few options:

  • Create a non-Checkout flow which supports EPS
  • Use Checkout to start the subscription without payment details, and then collect them later before the trial ends
  • Setup EPS with Checkout and then start the subscription separately

I did not find an option in the checkout that allows not giving a payment method, did i overlook something?

#

How would i go about option3?

#

I imagine making a checkout which costs as much as the first billing period and then start a subscription thats free until after the first billing period?

#

The issue with EPS is it's a one-time PM ā€“ it can't be saved/setup so fundamentally it won't work with recurring payments

tepid plover
#

Yes but thats fine, the user would get an invoice every time the subscription ends and needs to pay via eps again

#

(or stores a card and everything will be booked from there)

quick bluff
#

You'd need to create a send_invoice subscription which will manually send an invocie to your customer for them to pay manually

#

But Checkout doesn't support sned_invoice subscriptions

tepid plover
#

I imagine something like
My subscription is 10ā‚¬ per year.
The user pays 10ā‚¬ in checkout.
I separately create a send_invoice subscription after the checkout is complete

#

I might need to make the subscription free for the first year then

#

because it is already paid by the checkout

quick bluff
#

I don't understand why you need to separate them that way? To collect the 10ā‚¬ upfront?

#

yes, to be able to collect it upfront with eps

quick bluff
#

Then sure:

  • mode: 'payment' for 10ā‚¬ payment with EPS
  • On receipt of checkout.session.completed event, create a subscription with collection_method: 'send_invoice' which will allow for your customer to pay manually via EPS on the hosted invoice page
