Hi there

Hi!

Not sure I quite follow your question. If you create a Subscription with a trial period, the status of that Subscription will be trialing

pseudo pine Sep 3, 2024, 9:35 PM

#

Yes, and I need to be incomplete, to be confirmed futher, but, since the invoice amount is 0, the subscription get a trialing status.

#

basically, I want to emulate the behavior impleted in Checkout session when sending payment_method_collection = 'always'

#

but through the API

I see, so you want to start a trial but want to force the customer to provide their payment details?

pseudo pine Sep 3, 2024, 9:43 PM

#

Yes

#

more or less

#

I'm using stripe elements, so, when I present the Stripe element UI, I create an unconfirmed subscription in Stripe, but when the Subscription has trial days, it comes trialing immediately,

Got it. It's not possible to do what you're after. A Subscription created in this way will always have a trialing state

pseudo pine Sep 3, 2024, 9:50 PM

#

Hmmm, too bad (for me)...
In your experience, do you know a strategy to handle that?

final mulch Sep 3, 2024, 9:50 PM

#

You can use the pending_setup_intent's client secret to collect payment details: https://docs.stripe.com/api/subscriptions/object#subscription_object-pending_setup_intent

#

I also recommend creating the Subscription with a value for trial_settings.end_behavior.missing_payment_method based on how you want to handle missing payment details when the trial ends: https://docs.stripe.com/api/subscriptions/create#create_subscription-trial_settings-end_behavior-missing_payment_method
