omg i see I was testing earlier with this user and it has 40 bucks charged already today. didn't see that. But still almost appears like two charges were done for 299.99 on this customer. I don't work the dashboard much so I could be wrong.
dim pilot
Was this test customer charged twice for 299.99 on upgrade?
fickle elbow
here are all the Invoice for the customer you shared. they were never charger 299.99 for the Subscription
but you created a 299.99 PaymentIntent: https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/logs/req_6gbuOb5y1UNscK
dim pilot
So to confirm they where charged 260.02, 20, 19.99 total and not 299.99 twice?
To me this looks like two charges one for 260.02 and one for 299.99 because both have different payment id's
fickle elbow
there are 3 invoice for the Subscription (260, 20, 19.99), plus 299.99 that you created separately. so in total that's 4 charges.
dim pilot
I am attaching the payment intent to the subscription when i process the upgrade so that seems odd it's not using the payment intent that was authorized
fickle elbow
I am attaching the payment intent to the subscription
what does that mean?
dim pilot
I create a payment intent which authorizes a payment amount then I want to use that intent with the subscription update
fickle elbow
that's not possible. if you update the Subscription, it will create its own PaymentIntent. you cannot attach an existing PaymentIntent to a Subscrpition.
dim pilot
Are you sure about that? I just adjusted the code on a new test. It only charged once. And I captured the payment intent after update
params := &stripe.PaymentIntentParams{
Customer: stripe.String(previousSubscription.Customer.ID),
Amount: stripe.Int64(29999), // Minimal amount for authorization
Currency: stripe.String(string("USD")),
PaymentMethod: stripe.String(customer.InvoiceSettings.DefaultPaymentMethod.ID),
CaptureMethod: stripe.String(string(stripe.PaymentIntentCaptureMethodManual)),
AutomaticPaymentMethods: &stripe.PaymentIntentAutomaticPaymentMethodsParams{
Enabled: stripe.Bool(true),
AllowRedirects: stripe.String("never"), // Disable redirect-based payment methods
},
}
Oh I see it says incomplete
fickle elbow
I don't understand your question sorry.
dim pilot
So here is the problem. How can I authorize funds then capture on a subscription update?
dim pilot
If you use a debit card to authorize funds of 299 then capture that authorization later usually merchant accounts allow this up to 5 days later.
If I authorize 299 on a debit card then do what I'm doing now it will authorize 299 and then charge 299 making it appear as if two charges came through on a customers card.
debit cards are not like credit cards and tend to hold funds at the bank on authorizations
I was hoping to use the authorization that was approved and turn it into a charge which can be done on other merchant accounts

Hello
Are you asking if you can authorize a payment method once on merchant account A and then use that authorization later on merchant account B?
dim pilot
It's the same merchant account. Stripe is stripe. It's the same actual account under stripe same company. I'm just asking if I can authorize a payment then capture it. Right now soma tells me subscription updates always use a new payment intent id.

I'm sorry you mentioned other merchant accounts here

Subscription update that triggers a new invoice will generate a new PaymentIntent. You can't link the subscription invoice to an existing PaymentIntent
dim pilot
I was just mentioning other past merchants I could do this behavior. So 100% to confirm there is no way to authorize a payment check if it succeeds then use it in a subscription update. I just need to be 100% clear here.
autumn fractal
What's the end goal here? Are you trying to prevent the subscription update if the payment fails?
If so, we do have pending updates feature: https://docs.stripe.com/billing/subscriptions/pending-updates
So 100% to confirm there is no way to authorize a payment check if it succeeds then use it in a subscription update. I just need to be 100% clear here.
Correct. You can't authorize the payment using a separate PaymentIntent and link it to a subscription invoice like that.

Bummer thank you for clarifying
