Hi 👋 yes, you can use Setup Intents alone to collect payment method details before creating your Subscription later:
https://docs.stripe.com/payments/save-and-reuse?platform=web
Or if you're creating Subscriptions that start in a trial period you can use the pending_setup_intent that is generated by the Subscription to collect payment method details:
https://docs.stripe.com/api/subscriptions/object#subscription_object-pending_setup_intent
Logic about needing that to be required a given number of days before the Subscription is started (or the trial period ends) will need to be implemented on your end.

Great -- thank you!
If this is just an one-off thing for a couple clients, do you know if there a way to achieve this via the UI?

Not exactly, but I don't believe there is a flow that can be triggered from the Stripe dashboard to collect payment method details from a customer. My teammates and I in this forum specialize in helping developers work with our API, so we aren't as familiar with the dashboard side of things. Our support team might know of a way to do this if there is one, but I'm skeptical that there is:

No worries, was just curious if you knew! Thanks again for your help. 🙂
