👋 happy to help

#

we really don't recommend using setup intents

#

with subscriptions

#

instead you can follow this guide https://docs.stripe.com/billing/subscriptions/build-subscriptions

Build a subscriptions integration

Create and manage subscriptions to accept recurring payments.

We have a 7 day free trail and I want to confirm card details before giving free trail
In this flow no payment is required from the user since first invoice is of zero

north sigil May 30, 2024, 9:15 AM

#

yes you still can

#

using the pending_setup_intent

fading knot May 30, 2024, 9:15 AM

#

We implement this flow and try
Thanks

Hi Thanks
This flow works great.

What is recommended way to handle payment failure for future invoices
like if payment fails for later months

Can we collect card details for free trail also is there any flow for that?

north sigil May 30, 2024, 9:47 AM

#

that's the flow I suggested first

#

for free trials

fading knot May 30, 2024, 9:51 AM

#

got it had missed subscription_data.trial_period_days

north sigil May 30, 2024, 9:52 AM

#

oh now I see what you mean, like how to create the subscription with trial days rather than how to collect the details

#

are you using Checkout Sessions?

I have a subscription with free trail created with stripe.checkout.sessions.create
there is no default payment here. Will this cause any issue?

white atlas May 30, 2024, 10:38 AM

#

is the value of default_payment_method set on the Subscription object?

#

AFAIR that is what Checkout does(instead of seting the default on the customer level).

fading knot May 30, 2024, 10:41 AM

#

stripe.checkout.sessions.create({
customer: customerId,
mode: 'subscription',
line_items: [
{
price: process.env.STRIPE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID,
quantity: 1
}
],
subscription_data: {
trial_period_days: process.env.TRIAL_DAYS
},
ui_mode: 'embedded',
return_url: 'http://localhost:3000/checkout/return?session_id={CHECKOUT_SESSION_ID}'
})

#

these are things set
should I add anything extra?

white atlas May 30, 2024, 10:49 AM

#

I wouldn't think so

#

is there a specific problem? did you check if default_payment_method is set on the Subscription object after using Checkout in this way to start a trial?
