HI 👋
You update the Product record to set the default Price for it: https://docs.stripe.com/api/products/object#product_object-default_price
This is what will determine which is selected in the Checkout Session

If I set default price of the product, then which price id should I use to create checkout session?
young birch
Hmmm I think we may be missing the point of upsells. The upsell is supposed to be the price you want to entice your customers to change to after they have been presented with a less desirable price
If you want your checkout session to default to Annual but allow switching the monthly, you would change the annual Price object to "upsell" to the Monthly price and then create the Session with the Annual price
gaunt vortex
It seems like I can only set price with longer billing period as upsell, meaning I can't use monthly price as upsell option to annual..
young birch
Okay, I thought that was what we meant but I wasn't sure if we would allow you to go the other way.
It's the intent of the upsell, offering a discount over time for a larger amount of money up front.

Yes, we want to offer a discount with the annual option, but at the same time, we wanted to make the annual option the default. Users might opt for monthly since showing the checkout page with the upsell checkbox unchecked mostly led users to choose monthly. Initially, we implemented a monthly/annual checkbox on our page with the annual option as the default. We later opted for the upsell feature since it seemed like the more official way to do it, but we wanted to make sure if we could set the annual (upsell option) as the default choice.

Hi @gaunt vortex I'm taking over this thread. Give me a sec to catch up with the previous conversations
gaunt vortex
Sure
lunar sky
So basically you want to present the annual plan to your customer first, and offer an option to upsell to the monthly plan?
gaunt vortex
That's right.
I mean annual price can be upsell option, but wanted to make this toggled on by default
lunar sky
https://docs.stripe.com/payments/checkout/upsells#create-upsell Ok, you can take a look at the example on this page, and you just need to do it in the opposite way
Ah, so you want this toggle to be on by default
gaunt vortex
Yes
lunar sky
I'm afraid that there's no option to make the upsell toggle on by default.
