Got all the above working. What I'm wanting to know is....

#

Given a Customer in SaaS App, wants to Subscribe to their FIRST Subscription, after adding a valid card to their account.

Do I go down the Stripe Pricing Tables route, or, do I go down the route of a basic Create Subscription API call to Stripe and manage Subscriptions on SaaS end as the master i.e. 0 Subscriptions --> 1 Subscription etc.

#

Summary re. background to this problem. I'm taking a logical approach to this process from the SaaS App i.e. Create Account --> Add Card --> Subscribe to Product etc.

That entirely depends on what you want to build and how you want your integration to behave

#

Hopefully that last summary line answers that question, but if not, let me know specifc question that is not clear.

#

So I've basically got working already.

SaaS Create Customer --> Stripe Create Customer
SaaS Add Card To Account --> Stripe Add Payment Method (Card) to Stripe Customer, and Set as Default Payment Method for Invoices

#

So next step is actually creating the subscription in SaaS + Stripe

#

I've only briefly had a play with the Stripe (Elements.... I think? Maybe not) Pricing Tables, so I get the concept. Just wondering how it works in practice given where I am in the journey.

Where is this UI being presented to your customers?

frozen gale
#

In SaaS

#

SaaS App

slender wren
#

On the web? In a mobile app?

frozen gale
#

Web purely

Just had a quick skim. That sounds like exactly what I need.

#

God you guys are good with getting to the problem at hand. Genuinely amazed at the support you guys give on this chat.

#

I'll have a play with that and see how I get on.

#

So is the Stripe Pricing Table basically what is also branded as Stripe Elements? (at least conceptually...)

#

Glorified iFrames etc.

slender wren
#

Not when it comes to a functional standpoint

#

Pricing Table is a UI that shows multiple subscription options, displays feature lists, and allows customers to compare different billing cycle periods

#

But it takes people to a checkout UI to collect payment information once a customer has made their selection.

#

I probably need to have a play with this to visualise the behaviour as I haven't seen it yet. So I'm assuming the logic would be: if (alreadyACustomer) then chargeExistingCardOnAccount() else presentCardEntryDetailsToUser()

etc.

#

I'll have a play with this though

#

Really just wanted to make sure that I'm not going down a pointless path trying the Stripe Pricing Tables route given SaaS App already has captured the Customer/Tax/Billing info and the Primary Card For Invoicing etc.

#

But sounds like I'll be fine playing around in that area as it should get things moving a step forwards by passing in those additional params.

slender wren
#

I woudl also examine the other "Optional" parameters in the doc I linked. They could provide some other useful features for you.
