Do you want the Subscription to have a start date when the customer pays, or when it's created?

Hi, thanks for taking the time for this.

I would like the subscription to have a start date when the users pays (this is a good point, I had not yet thought about this so need to check what my code is doing)

It should come from you business requirement mainly.
Why do you need to create a Stripe Subscription earlier exactly? Could you create it when the customer is ready to pay?

I dont want to create it earlier, I want the subscription to be made ative when the payment is made, which I assume is when the start date is created.

What I do is create an inactive subscription on an earlier button click to reduce the number of total clicks a user has to click.

Because in my head, all of this is required

  1. create a customer (i do this on entry to the screen so the user doesn't have to do anything)
  2. create a subscription in the back end that is inactive, when the user clicks that they are interested in the subscription (at which point they see a breakdown of costs etc.)
  3. purchase subscription button which brings up the payment sheet for the user to fill in their info and pay

what i want to know, is whether it is possible to cancel/delete the inactive subscription when they click cancel on the payment sheet/at step 3 if they click close instead of purchase subscription button

#

I hope that makes sense, I create a subscription object when the user shows interest, but it only activates on purchase, alternatively I could make it so that the subscription object is only made on the actual purchase subscription button, but in my head that might then make the UI quite slow if it has to create the object, get the response and then initialise the payment sheet, although saying it out loud this does seem more logical

sure, call your backend to call https://docs.stripe.com/api/subscriptions/cancel when you detect the user cancelling
