Hi there 👋 the Test your integration section in that doc gives some guidance for testing this flow. Is there something else you were trying to test about it?

Is it possible to collect customers preferred payment method card/bank transfer using checkout?
junior kettle
Yes.
sacred hamlet
I want to create a checkout with free trial that collects payment method options
params := &stripe.CheckoutSessionParams{
Customer: stripe.String(customerId),
LineItems: subscriptionItems,
Mode: stripe.String(string(stripe.CheckoutSessionModeSubscription)),
SuccessURL: &successUrl,
CancelURL: &failureUrl,
ExpiresAt: &expiresAt,
BillingAddressCollection: stripe.String(string(stripe.CheckoutSessionBillingAddressCollectionRequired)),
SubscriptionData: &subscriptionData,
CustomFields: customFields,
}
should i add anything for the above params
also currently my dashboard shows this
junior kettle
Yes, if you test that you'll see it doesn't do what you're describing. You'll also want to set payment_method_collection to always:
https://docs.stripe.com/api/checkout/sessions/create#create_checkout_session-payment_method_collection
sacred hamlet
but bank transfer is active
junior kettle
We aren't as familiar with the dashboard in this forum, so I don't know what that first screenshot is showing, where it was taken from, or what it's referring to. Is it impacting what you're seeing in your testing?
sacred hamlet
i didn't set it as it will always default to always
junior kettle
Ah, yup, I missed overlooked that mode was set to subscription.
sacred hamlet
I want to see bank transfer selection with my current configuration
and don't want to set it manually through api
https://docs.stripe.com/api/checkout/sessions/create#create_checkout_session-payment_method_types
junior kettle
Okay, it's on in your automatic payment method settings, are you not seeing it in the Checkout Sessions you create?
sacred hamlet
yes
junior kettle
Can you share the ID of a Checkout Session from your testing?

Thank you, not spotting the problem here yet, but am still looking.
sacred hamlet
I can see this on retrieving the checkout session from cli
"card": {
"request_three_d_secure": "automatic"
}
},
"payment_method_types": [
"card"
],
Ah, I see what it is. While Checkout can support Bank Transfers and Cards in payment mode, it can't support them both in Subscription mode:
https://docs.stripe.com/payments/payment-methods/integration-options#support-bank-transfers
sacred hamlet
Oh! so how do i collect customer preference for my use case
junior kettle
You would need to collect that manually before progressing to the payment process, so you know which payment flow to send your customer through based on how they want to pay.
Alternatively you could explore migrating from Checkout Sessions to the Payment Element, as the supportablility matrix linked above indicates that integration path doesn't have the limitaton Checkout Sessions do.
