Unfortunately you can't. The closest thing you could do is have 2 different payment methods and set one as default for one payment, then another as default for another separate payment

To elaborate : 1 of our customer wants to get our annual subscription but she wants the payment split onto 2 sources (debit and credit cards)

#

This is a recurring subscription, if I create 2 oayment methods, where do I create that?

civic ore
#

Got it. Do you have a Subscription test integration setup already?

cursive solstice
#

But I don't see this payment plan options

#

I dont even this that is what I should use since the customer will pay it today just with 2 cards

#

From those docs:

Subscription invoices can’t have payment plans applied

cursive solstice
#

oh

civic ore
#

You can't do partial payments on an Invoice in this case

cursive solstice
#

What do you suggest?

civic ore
#

Using a single payment method would be the best option. If that's not an option, you can create a hacky workaround that accepts a payment for amount A via the Invoice, and a separate payment for amount B on a Payment Intent. These 2 payments won't have any relationship though

cursive solstice
#

Are these my option?

Option 1 : Subscribe the customer to 2 types of subscription where subscription A amounts to $500 and subscription B amounts to $500 so it would total to $1000 and each subscription will generate separate invoices for payment

Option 2 : Can you let me know how I can do this hack so I can try it in the sandbox

civic ore
#

That's possible, though they'll get 2 separate Subscriptions in this case which means 2 separate email notifications about renewal, 2 separate webhooks to your server for each, etc.

I would recommend testing this out on your end

cursive solstice
#

Yea, that the thing, could be potentially confusing as it will technically create duplicates of the same customer. What about the hack?

civic ore
#

That one would result in only 1 active subscription, but you would have to track the renewal on your end so that when the subscription renews, your system creates a separate payment again along with the regular Subscription payment

cursive solstice
#

I see. So Payment A is recurring, then -payment B is manually track that I have to create on a yearly basis - Is there a way to make payment B recurring or automate it?

#

Like a recurring invoice not ties to a susbscription?

#

So the cleanest way to do this without triggering the automations in the back end that relies on a new subscription trigger is to:

  1. Create a new subscription amounting to $500 which will generate a recurring invoice.
  2. The Manually create invoice on a yearly basis for payment 2
