Hello
midnight wyvern
hello! I'm afraid that's not recommended. How have you currently integrated with Stripe to collect payment for subscriptions? Are you using Payment Element, or Checkout Sessions?
errant mesa
good question!
yes, Im using stripe element, in my current flow
all integration was done by code
frontend and backend
I use the invoice upcoming to calculate taxes automatically and total price, total tax, etc
midnight wyvern
the core logic of creating a one time payment is essentially the same, you would create a PaymentIntent and collect the payment details in the Payment Element for payment
These guides might be helpful, the below flows require creating a PaymentIntent first :
if you want to display the Payment Element without creating a PaymentIntent first, you can refer to the deferred flow :
https://docs.stripe.com/payments/accept-a-payment-deferred?platform=web&type=payment

My big problem is that the customer could buy a weekly subscription and a one-time payment subscription, with recurring price subscriptions I have no problem, I use confirmIntent
midnight wyvern
you can add the one-time payment to the subscription also : https://docs.stripe.com/api/subscriptions/create#create_subscription-add_invoice_items
if i understand correctly, the customer needs to make payment for a Subscription, and a one-time item right?
errant mesa
Yes, also keep in mind that you could purchase other subscriptions at different intervals, for example weekly, monthly and then a one time payment. In that case I would be buying 3 products with different prices in a single transaction in my service.
midnight wyvern
you can't pay for 3 subscriptions with different intervals in the same payment
you'll need the customer to make payment separately for each of these subscriptions
so to summarize, you can combine a one-time payment with a subscription. However, you can't combine payments for different Subscriptions
errant mesa
they recommended me to do was to make a subscription payment through payment intent and then make the other payments automatically after having been successful in the first subscription.
errant mesa
you can add the one-time payment to the subscription also : https://docs.stripe....
how? what is the property to set up?
midnight wyvern
use add_invoice_items - you can either pass in a one-time Price object in add_invoice_items.price or create an ad-hoc Price using add_invoice_items.price_data
they recommended me to do was to make a subscription payment through payment intent and then make the other payments automatically after having been successful in the first subscription.
I don't recommend this method. For example, if 3DS is required, you are going to need the customer to authenticate again. The customer is going to be very confused if they have to do subsequent authentication, but have no visibility about what you're doing in the backend
errant mesa
ohh I understand
errant mesa
use `add_invoice_items` - you can either pass in a one-time Price object in `add...
ohh, I will be working on it
Thanks!
it is use to invoice upComming also?
midnight wyvern
sorry, i don't understand?
errant mesa
ah ok
well, I use invoice up comming to calculate the total price, the total tax (it calculates it automatically) to run a summary to the customer before paying
midnight wyvern
alright, what's your question?
errant mesa
use `add_invoice_items` - you can either pass in a one-time Price object in `add...
If this solution helps me to calculate invoice upcomming or if I have to be careful?'
midnight wyvern
if you want to add a one-time item in upcoming invoice, i believe it's here : https://docs.stripe.com/api/invoices/upcoming#upcoming_invoice-invoice_items
you can try it out
errant mesa
ohh ok,
